Seven pushchairs with buggy boards we love
Buggy boards, also known as ride-on boards or stroller platforms, are an ingenious invention that enable you to transport two children with one pushchair, without having to shell out for a double buggy or navigate one through crowded spaces.
They're a great way to future-proof your pushchair. Typically, buggy boards are a separately sold accessory that you attach to your pushchair, but some pushchairs have them cleverly integrated so you get the benefits with no extra cost or hassle.
Keep scrolling to see our selection of top pushchairs with integrated buggy boards as well as those that sell a compatible buggy board attachment, so you can see which setup works best for you. Prices of pushchairs do fluctuate so our stated prices are 'typical' prices.

What age are buggy boards for?
Most buggy boards are suitable for children aged two to five years old. They can be a seat, a bench or a platform for your older child to stand on while your youngest sits in the pushchair.
Do buggy boards fit all pushchairs?
Most brands of pushchair offer their own buggy board. Some require additional adapters, whereas others can attach without the need for them.
There are also universal buggy boards designed to fit most pushchair models, but it's important you read the small print and check whether it's compatible with your model of pushchair.
Bear in mind that if you're short in stature, they can be hard to work with as you have to stand further away from the pram. Before buying, try out the pushchair with buggy board to check you can actually use it comfortably.

Pushchairs with integrated buggy boards
iCandy Core - £1,280
This multi-functional pushchair from iCandy has a useful built-in ride-on platform for older children to stand on.
As with other integrated buggy boards, it means you avoid the hassle and expense of an additional attachment that can get in the way of your feet.
The Core is suitable from birth when using either the supplied carrycot or the seat unit, which has a lie-flat position. The seat unit is suitable for children weighing up to 25kg, which is around five years old.
The integrated ride-on platform for older siblings holds up to 20kg, so until your child reaches roughly four or five years old.

iCandy Orange 2021 pram - £899
The Core isn't the only iCandy pushchair to incorporate a ride-on platform. The iCandy Orange was first launched in 2017, updated in 2019 and again in 2021.
The ride-on platforms on the Core and Orange look identical and they have the same weight limit, but the Orange is a convertible pushchair, so it can be adapted from a single into a double buggy by buying another seat unit or carrycot to accommodate two children of different ages or twins.
Take a look at our iCandy Orange review to see how easy it is to do this and how it fared on our specially designed obstacle course, which includes pavements, bumpy grass, sand and kerbs.
Cosatto Wow XL - £700
This convertible XL pushchair is designed to grow with your family. It can be converted from a single to a double so that two children can ride together, plus it's suitable from birth as it comes with a carrycot.
The seat is reversible, so your baby can face you or the world and both the seat and integrated ride-on platform can be used until your child weighs 25kg (around six years old).
It also comes with lots of extras including two soft toys that can be attached to the bumper bar and a rain cover.

Pushchairs with buggy-board attachments
Bugaboo Fox 5 - £1,115
The Bugaboo Comfort Wheeled Board (£105) can attach to a range of Bugaboo pushchairs, including the Bugaboo Fox 5.
Some models require adapters to secure the wheeled board, but the Fox 5 doesn't.
If you're not sure whether your pushchair is compatible, check the Bugaboo website. You can also select your model before adding the wheeled board to your cart – if an adapter is needed the right one will be added automatically.
According to parents, the board is easy to attach and your child can sit on the bike saddle-style seat or stand if they'd prefer.
The Bugaboo Fox 5 and Comfort Wheeled Board aren't cheap, though. If you're tempted to invest, make sure to check out our Bugaboo Fox 5 Pram review to see if it's worth it.
Cybex Talos S Lux 2023 - £600
The Cybex Talos S Lux 2023 is an update to the Talos S Lux model with new features including a one-pull harness, improved suspension and more on-board storage.
Adding the Kid Board (£100) means you can transform your pushchair and bring your toddler along for the ride. It's also compatible with other models including the Priam (as shown in the image) and some of the Balios S line. Check its website to ensure your model is compatible.
The Kid Board doesn't have a seat, so it's only designed for children to stand on. When not in use, you can keep it attached but fold it forwards into the storage basket.
The seat is reversible, so you can have your little one facing you when they're small and then facing the world once they become more inquisitive.

Uppababy Ridge, £820
The Uppababy Ridge is a three-wheeled, all-terrain pushchair suitable for use from six months to 22kg (usually around four or five years old).
It doesn't come with an integrated board but Uppababy sells the Piggyback buggy board (£120) accessory separately.
The board has a hefty 25kg weight limit, which means it can be used until your child reaches about five or six years old and when it's not in use it can be lifted out of the way without the need to detach it from the pushchair frame.
You can also fold the pushchair with the board still attached.
Read our Uppababy Ridge review to find out what features impressed us the most and how it handled different surfaces and obstacles.
Thule Sleek, £800
The Thule Sleek is a premium four-wheeled pushchair with a reversible seat unit that's suitable from six months or you can attach a carrycot so it's suitable from birth.
You can attach the Thule Rider Board (£100) to create a platform for an older child to stand on. This rider board is also compatible with the Thule Spring (with the addition of an adaptor, £17) and Thule Shine.
Read our Thule Sleek review to find out what it's like to push, fold and use, and whether it stood up to our tough tests.
