S+TMs - a stroller question

[krispy83]

Does anyone use a City Mini with a glider board for an infant and older kid?  I'm trying to figure out if the City Mini can recline flat for DD and still have room for DS to stand on a glider board before I drop $70 on one.

FTM but I think there are a few stroller threads on the baby gear board if no F15 moms have this stroller situation

Duh, forgot about the gear board!

I got a glider board for my City Mini GT when DD was born. I haven't tried reclining the stroller with it on, but my guess would be probably not. I just want to warn you that I find ithe glider board almost unusable. It is very difficult to walk with it on there. We have it pulled back pretty far so DS doesn't hit his head on the handle bar (he's almost 3) and you have to lean over to hold the handles and keep kicking the board. I am very upset that I spent that much money on one and can't use it. I also have no idea what else to do because I don't want to have to buy another stroller. Anyway, just consider it carefully before you buy it. It looks like the reviews online have the same complaints.

Thanks for the info. One of my concerns was how well it works (or rather, doesn't) with the City Mini. Based on the reviews it seems like it's designed for the City Select. Thanks for the warning. I'm bummed to hear it as I don't have the budget for another stroller, but I'm glad I didn't buy it!

Have you looked on Craigslist? I have found some seriously good deals on strollers in good condition on there. You could probably spend the same amount as you would on a new glider board,and if you sell your current stroller possibly spend less.
