Jane Surfer Board

I thought the Jane Pro-Surfer was going to be great for getting my 3 year-old used to walking rather than being pushed, so that I could put the baby in the pushchair. Oh dear. Either I am not using it right or it is simply a design that doesn't actually function in practice. As the other review mentions, it is barely possible for the older child to stand on the platform if the seat is at all reclined, and so they are forced back against the handle.

I couldn't find a handle height which accommodated my 3 year-old's head and which allowed me to comfortably push without my feet constantly catching the wheel of the board. I abandoned my first outing with it.

I will try it again and I will look to see if I can fix the wheel so that it remains under the board (although this might render it unable to turn with the pushchair, so maybe not...)

It doesn't surprise me that all the ones available on e-Bay are 'hardly used'!!

My researched (recommended) purchase arrived, I attached the Jane Surfer (very easily, as advertised!), then it became apparent that unless the baby in the pushchair is sitting bolt upright the toddler cannot get on it at all. On the box the picture also shows the pushchair without the hood on. There is a very good reason for this!

It is a tight squeeze, even for a slim child, the brake cable is in the way (hair gets pulled which doesn't help the mood of the little rider).

As I now own it, I do put it on, and my 3 year old sits on it when she's given up walking ( though we've had a couple of bruises when she's put her feet down whilst moving). A positive thing I just realised is that you can turn it around when not required and attach it so it rides under the basket rather than storing it in it, which saves space in the basket for a bag of groceries, unless you carry that on the surfer! All in all, don't get too excited by the hype, but it is a faster way than a piggy back!

Jane Surger Board - Very sturdy, easy to fit and perfect size for my nearly 3 year old - she absolutely loves it!
