Buggyguard Stroller Lock {Review & Giveaway}

Since I have become a mother,I have had so many moments in a baby store, looking at a catalog, or shopping online when I see an item and I think to myself, “What a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that?”  This product from Buggyguard is just the solution I need to errands and family outings when I don’t want to worry about my double stroller that is the same price as my car-payment. The buggy guard stroller lock is a great option for moms on the go.

About Buggyguard

Devilishly cute, these buggy guardians attach in easily accessible locations on your stroller and are ready at moments notice to lock your belongings and the stroller to itself, an object nearby, or both. With BuggyGuard, my stroller is safe and I have the peace of mind to focus on what’s most important, my baby Nicole. Enjoy quality time with your children. It’s what life is all about!.

My Experience

When I opened the package that was delivered to me, and saw this cute little panda staring at me, I momentarily couldn’t figure out what it was! I forgot I was expecting a product for review, and was trying to remember why I ordered this cute little guy! This is just a testament to how cleverly designed the lock is.  By just looking at it, it appears to be a cute toy, but upon closer inspection is actually a retractable combination lock that you can link your stroller up to almost anything in a second to keep it safe while you enjoy your activities with your little ones.  The combination dial is easy to set, and very quickly gives you peace of mind that the stroller isn’t going anywhere.  There is an attachment for you to be able to attach it to a crossbar securely, or it easily removes for use without.

I especially like that the cable retracts with the push of a button. My  3 year old loved holding on to the panda as we walked in the zoo, and liked helping me attach it to a bench when it was time to take the train ride.  This is something that I rarely do at our zoo because it requires you to leave your stroller completely unattended while riding the train around the zoo.  So when I told him that we were taking a zoo ride on that day, he was so happy, since normally Mommy says we don’t have time! But when you spend a small fortune on a stroller, you don’t take chances.

Buggyguard details

The Buggyguard comes in a variety of cute little options. It is also extremely easy to use.  Simply keep it in your stroller and you always have it close at hand to lock your buggy up whenever you may need to.  Not to mention little hands, (not too little, as it isn’t intended as a toy) will enjoy holding on to their little pal as you walk or jog to your destination.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… Buggyguard offers you peace of mind if you will be leaving your stroller behind that is will still be there when you get back from having fun with the kiddos.  I can imagine this would come in very handy in a easily walkable neigborhood, or if you live in the city where your stroller is your main means of transportation to most of your destinations.  Or, think the of the big picture, anyone heading to Disney anytime soon? This would be perfect.

Or Not to Buy… If you never need to leave your stroller unattended, this may be a product that you can skip, but it is something that is nice to have on hand if such a situation arises.
