Valco hitch hiker

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the valco board can fit a bee and/or a bjcm? How do you like it? Can it be pulled up out of the way when not in use?

I have used the HH on both of those strollers. Yes it can be pulled up when not in use.

There is much more room for the rider on the bee then on the bjcm. To make room inside of the handlebars on the bjcm you have to unsnap the canopy from the frame. Even after doing this its a tight fit but my kids have huge heads and they made it work. Also the BJCM can't be reclined for obvious reasons. You can recline the bee though if you have it parent facing.

BJCM install (DS was about 39 months here):

Bee install (I have gotten the board much closer to the wheels since these pictures were taken just hours after getting the bee for Xmas):

Wow, nice! How is the push with both of these strollers with the board attached?

Its been a couple of years since I have used the BJCM. I used to kick the back of the BJCM but strangely did not kick the HH. I think I must have instinctively held the stroller further from me while using the board.

I still use the bee and HH a lot. My dd is 34 lbs and my ds is 40 lbs now and I can definitely feel the extra weight on the back of the stroller. That being said the push is still great and I can still do it one handed but its no longer a one pinky bugaboo push. I say its still pretty good though for doubling the stroller's weight limit.

The HH can not go in reverse. I have only owned the HH so I don't know if this is true for all boards but you need to always be moving forward. The back rider will need to jump off if you have to go backwards.

I read in some threads that the HH with BJCM has a tight headroom due to the handle bar. I'm considering buying one myself but since I read that, now I'm considering a GT because of its adjustable handlebar.
