    Bye Bye Buggy

    Does anyone have a SIX seat Bye-Bye Buggy? How does it handle? I am thinking of buying one, but am worried that it will be too awkward for long walks. I could get by with a 4-seater, but would like the extra 2 for kids that get tired before the walk is over. Please let me know if you would recommend the product!

    I've used the 4 seater one and it wasn't bad, but was really bulky and sometimes hard to turn. I would imagine a 6 seater one would be a lot more bulky. It was neat though, the one we had (when I worked in a center), had umbrellas!

    P.S. If you get one, put the kids in the front seat first! I didn't think of that one time and it almost tipped backwards. You would think it would be common sense, but I guess I wasn't thinking.

        I had one. It is heavy to push the kids up the hill.

        I used to balance it with kids weight. It runs smooth straight road

          I have one and LOVE it! I got mine on craigslist for $200! I am small in size and have no problems with it but I do not have any big hills, it turns easily too.

            Wagon

            My parents bought this for me for Christmas:


            My mom sewed vinyl over a foam pad from Joann's for a nice cushion. I also attached seat belts that are made for a swing set.

            The tires are super nice, and I can pull this thing all over my neighborhood loaded with kids, and this summer I'll have room for a picnic basket!

              I have one I bought used and I love it. Im small (only about. 5'2) and have always had problems with pulling wagons. Is it heavy to get up hill? Yes, but not any harder than you would imagine pushing the weight of 6 kids would be and it turns corners easily.

                If I had 6 kids that needed to be in a stroller, I wouldnt even try to go farther than my backyard LOL The 6 seaters are bulky and as my neighborhood is hilly with questionable sidewalks, there is no way I am going to kill my back for this. Anyone 2 and up walks. Even some of the 18 month olds can be trained to hold the stroller and walk with me. This way, I only ever take a triple stroller at most. Now if your neighborhood was flat with a nice concrete walking trail, sure, bust out the big stroller.

                  My 2 year olds can walk to the park, but sometimes we go for LOOOONG walks, and I don't expect them to handle those. I have 2 infants right now, a 14 month old, an 18 month old, and two 2-year olds. The younger 4 need a stroller for most walks, and I want the space for the 2 year olds & up if they get tired. I often have a walking buddy, and am debating between a 4 seater + a double jogger or just going with the 6 seater.

                    When I was a teenager and worked at a church daycare we had 3 of the 6 seaters. I love them!! I would love to purchase one for my daycare but I haven't found a used decently priced one yet. They are a little difficult to push through grass.

                      I have the 5 seat runabout.Looks like bike seats and is loooong.They have since come out with a 6 seater two to a row.Looks much less awkward .Though I have to say the 5 seater is easier to push than my double graco.I do usually have at least two children holding on .I also have 2 yr and up walking.One thing great about it is you can remove seats and still use it and the wheels are never flat and can be pushed through snow.

                        I have a 6 seater one and love it. Same as PPs, handles and turns easily, can be hard to push up hill when full. If you can find one for a good price, go for it! Got mine on CL for cheap.
