i saw them the other day. and they look pretty good!
my only concerns are that it might be a bit *big* for a kid under 2. like mum2 said, a younger kid might not like sitting on there for long periods of time. i know that my DD always gets off her trike after about 10 minutes. and because there are no straps she just pops off and we go chasey .
but that said, they would do the same on a board.
ALSO, i am a bit finicky about width, and it does poke out just the eensiet little bit, probably enough to stop me going through doorways (we live in melb and on the old shop fronts the doors are narrow) and through checkouts.
i reckon though, that they look awesome for older toddlers when they can walk for the most part but can still get tired enough to want to sit for a bit ITMS...
Mmmm.... I was kinda thinking the same thing. They claim it is suitable for toddlers 15 months plus, but my DS is pretty small, and I'm pretty sure he is not quite ready for that yet. He will be 20+ months when #2 arrives, and I am planning on leaving him in his pram whilst the newborn is in a carrier/sling for about 3 months, so he'd be upwards of 23 months if and when he went onto the strolli rider.
But my other issue with it is that it does not provide the toddler with as much protection from sun/wind/rain as a double pram would- although I think it would be a great novelty for older toddlers on short walks in fine weather, and quick visits to shops etc.
I have heard that 2 year olds can go through a defiant 'I don't want to go in the pram' phase, so now I am thinking it would be great to have both a double pram and the strolli rider for those short periods when they don't wish to go in the pram. But I doubt DH will accept that assault on the budget!
