Moms w/2 kids--question about footboard on Peg Pliko P3?

Does your toddler stand on the footboard? Is it really convenient? I don't want to buy a double stroller since my DD doesn't really like to ride, but I may buy a new everyday stroller since mine (a 2002 Mac Global) is pretty trashed. Thanks for any insight! :)

Hey, Sarah! I just responded to your other post. :)

My 4 yo doesn't like the footboard. Personally, I think it is too small and too close to the handles to be comfortable. I am disappointed because that is one reason I bought this stroller. I do love my stroller though.

My DD who is almost 2.5 has been riding on the back of our Pliko (we have an older model '99 I think) for several months. She loves it and calls it her buggy board. (we did try the buggy board in real life first but it drove me nuts so I bought this Pliko and it has been fantastic)

One thing to note is that you can't ride on the back if the stroller is at all reclined. Worked fine for us as DS was 6 mo when we got it but not so great for an infant and toddler.

DD rides about 5-10 min to the playground and back and does so happily.

Hope it works for you!
