I'm considering getting a Breeze for a new baby and have not found many reviews of it. Anyone who has one care to share? Should we spend the extra $$$ and get the Urban instead? Our local stores seem to only carry the Urbans so haven't been able to testdrive the Breeze yet.
Also, has anyone used the buggy board attachment made by MB? Since we would not attach it to any other stroller, it seems to make sense to buy theirs rather than a generic. Thanks!

Or should I consider the Easy Walker instead of the Breeze? Maybe a front fixed wheel is not such a great idea. I've never used one. Thanks!

The Breeze is great but if you have never tried a fixed-wheel stroller/jogger, you need to try one out first and see if you can handle it. Some people never like to pop the front wheel off the ground (even just 1/2") to turn and swerve. In addition, if you do a lot of off-road or rough terrain, then the fixed-wheel is better, but if you are more or less in the urban, crowded, tight spaces, then the swivel-wheel might be a better choice.

I didn't know MB makes a riding board. Are you sure it's not the Kiddie Board made by Lascal? That board would work for any MB after 2003 (with the redesigned handle to accomodate a child standing on the board and in between the stroller and the handle)

MB has a buggy board thing in their brochure. I assume it's made by them, but I don't really know. I think you are right about the fixed wheel. It may just drive me nuts. Thanks!

I have both reviewed on my website.

I'm thinking of the MBUS too (I have the MBUD, and love it!!!) I spoke with sycamore kids, and the board is not sold my mb anymore - I think it is the lascal brand that fits. Though, a store that I'm hoping to visit for a test drive said there's another brand of kiddie board that fits too.
