I received my Kolcraft Contours Options 4 wheeler Stroller the other day and was all set to order my Lascal BuggyBoard.  I had it bookmarked on some website and I thought I was ready to go.  Should be compatible with my new stroller, and holds 66lbs, per the website.  But then I saw that this website had a poor return policy (must initiate return within 20 days and have it back to company by 30 days and pay a 15% re-stocking fee).  So, I got worried again.  I decided to try and order it from Amazon.com.  But when I got to the Amazon page the exact same Kiddyboard said the weight capacity was 44 lbs!  What!?  So I went to the manufacturer’s website…they said 66 lbs.

Pookie weighs like 44.5 pounds right now, so I really needed the 66 lb weight capacity one.  I was so confused.  So, BAGD, the voice of reason, said “why don’t you just email the manufacturer and ask them to tell you the real weight capacity and exactly which one to buy.”  Oh.  Yeah.  That would probably work.  So, I sent off an email to Regal Lascal of Kennesaw GA, the US distributor for this Swedish made product.  A very nice lady named Monica emailed me back and explained that all the Lascal stroller boards will hold 66 lbs.  Every single one.  She said the retailer websites say 44 lbs because that is the highest US standard test they have completed, but they hold more.  She said at the company picnic, they parked one wheel of a Cadillac on the board and it was fine.   Great!  Now which one do I order, the Techno or the Maxi?  I was confused again.  I decided to call the number on the letterhead and see if I could get some help.  Monica answered!

I explained what my current problem was.  She asked me about my new stroller and even viewed it online to see what the rear axle looked like.  She said I should definately get a KiddyBoard Maxi, not a Lascal BuggyBoard.  She said the only problem was that the KiddyBoard Maxi had been redesigned this year and the new connector might not be the best match for my stroller.  Then she offered to sell me one of last year’s models, which would fit better, for half price!  I can return it if it does not fit.

So now I wait, for my box from Kennesaw GA.   I am going to connect it right away and make sure its right.  But…I think…I finally have it figured out, thanks to Monica.
