Sturdy, easy to install, and fun to ride!
We just bought one of these to attach to our umbrella stroller and it works so well! It is easy to adjust to just about any stroller and the platform, wheels, hardware, and connectors are all so sturdy that I have no problem recommending this to everyone. The platform is tall enough that you can easily walk behind it without kicking it. It handles beautifully over bumpy sidewalks and roads, even over small curbs without losing stability. It handles very responsively around corners, turning quickly and easily. This made our walk so much fun and so much easier on the way home with a tired kid hitching a ride! You can leave the connectors on your stroller (which easily adjust without tools to accommodate the collapse of your stroller) and the platform connects easily in two spots, so you can take the platform off in seconds when you're done. We have a Eurotrend stroller, which is light and simple to use and we've had it for years. I considered getting a sit and ride stroller for my baby and toddler, and the stroller is so huge that it wouldn't fit into my trunk, not to mention that I couldn't see the front of those long strollers so I don't know how I would steer in crowds without hitting people! The double strollers are also heavy, expensive and hard to find locally. If you have a decent umbrella stroller that steers well and is sturdy, this platform will make it the perfect stroller for a walk with two kids. It seems pricey compared to the price of your stroller (my stroller was only $80!), but it is worth every penny. This Valco stroller board is awesome and I wish I had known about it last year! I am looking forward to a summer of outings with my two kids!

Worked great until it broke
I bought the hitchhiker buggy board for our 3 yr toddler to go onto our Valco baby Tri mode stoller. We opted for the board attachment vs. the toddler seat attachment since the toddler seat raises the center of gravity too much for a 3 wheeled stroller and it becomes very tippy. The hitchhiker is very adjustable and works with many strollers (although I tried it on a BOB stroller and it barely fit, so make sure you try before you buy). My Daughter loves standing on the board and this option is alot easier and more portable than a double stroller. After three months of normal use the part that held the wheel to the board (the wheel shock) broke. Valco baby USA was good at replacing the board but I can't help to think it will happen again due to the poor design of the wheel shocks. With the wheels offset from center, the shock does not compress smoothly and there is alot of friction and torque on the thin plastic parts inside, which I believe lead to the breakage. There is a one year warranty from Valco Baby but it may be good to check the return policy of the retailer you buy it from.

Great Buy
This works better than I imagined. It moves effortlessly with the stroller, even over paths in the park (including stairs). I have a Graco stroller, so the whole set-up is a little heavy (although not as much as a double stroller), but the hitchhiker goes on and off very easily. The only problem is that my 4 year old leans a little back because of the stroller's handle, but he doesn't seem to mind and loves riding on it. I would definitely recommend this product.
