I have been so sporadic with my driver that I have pretty much just left it in the bag and tee off with my 3 wood. I've also been hitting it pretty good of the deck when I have a terrible drive. I can't hit a long iron nearly as consistently.

Realistically, kids aren’t going to be able to make it through a full 18 holes. Heck most of will be lucky to make it through 9. So a smaller amount of clubs makes sense.

That’s kind of what I was thinking. Still have a few different ideas on how to test this out and see if I can minimize the tipping concern.

So I was able to get out yesterday evening for a quick 9 with Mr. H. I will say pushing a stroller when it’s 80°+ is a good workout. Add in the added weight of clubs and a diaper bag, I was sweating pretty good by the end of it. There are definitely some really good things about the Kid Caddie. I get to give momma a little break from having both kids at home while I golf along with spending time with my child. Our kids are a little bigger so I wasn’t too concerned about it being back end heavy but there was a few times I could see that being an issue. One of our strollers is a Bobs stroller and that’s what I used last night. While I probably didn’t need to bring all of my clubs since my distances on our course are pretty consistent, I wanted to make sure to give it a fair shot. It definitely made it a little back end heavy that could cause some tipping issues. My main issue with it was if I got in a hurry( which can happen if your kid isn’t loving the course) my club shafts and grips got jumbled up underneath the stroller. I could probably have remedied this with not bringing our normal diaper bag but a smaller one with only the essentials. Once I got through a few holes and moved my clubs around it seemed to be a little better. Especially because I was using pretty much the same ones hole after hole. The functionality of the Kid Caddie was good as I had plenty of spots for tees and balls. The Yeti holder is good if you have a Yeti. I think a more universal holder would be better but I’m not sure if it’s feasible with the design. I had a little trouble with the cup/bottle holder staying in the slots when I didn’t have a bottle in it. But a little extra care when putting away my clubs or checking on H would probably have negated it. All that said it was a good first round with it. My son enjoyed it, I enjoyed being able to take him and still play golf. And it worked like it was meant to. I am planning on taking my 3 year old out this weekend and seeing if it makes a difference with the club shaft situation along with the tipping issue.

I don’t know if this is the right spot to post this or not but we qualified for the Jack Daniel’s BBQ World Championship Invitational today! It’s a pretty hard contest to qualify for since you have to win a contest and then go through a lottery. Might throw the sticks in and see if there is a course I can get onto in the Nashville/Lynchburg area.

Use one of your kids dolls in the stroller. I’m sure you won’t get any weird looks then.

Unboxing The Kid Caddie came in just a regular cardboard box and it came with the Yeti holder and bottle/can holder. I received the gray colored one. It is made of plastic and comes with two velcro straps to attach it to a stroller. They come in gray, black and white. The accessories are 3d printed. My wife was a little disappointed her Stanley cup didn’t fit the Yeti holder. I am guessing that future models will probably accommodate these since they have grown in popularity but not sure. I haven’t had a chance to put it on the stroller yet but will do it tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to take the littles out tomorrow and give it a go. I was pretty impressed with the ball holder. They fit snug in there and didn’t roll as shown by the picture. The balls also came out with little effort. All in all, it is a pretty neat accessory to help get the kids out on the course. I have a few ideas on how to test it out and test the functionality of it.

Congrats testers! I am excited to see the reviews of this as I am looking for a better mat for my setup.

Just got the Kid Caddie last night and will post an unboxing later and initial reaction to the product later today.

Let's see if we can make it into the top 100 this time. Cut +2 Highest round-82

My intro is up. Since I am a first time tester, hopefully I did it right.

Kid Caddie Club Carrier Introduction Hello all! First, I would like to thank MGS and Kid Caddie for the opportunity to test this new product out. My name is Grant and I live in Glendive, MT. I have been golfing off and on for the past ten years, but have really started to play regularly for the last two years. This product has really appealed to me since I have 3 kids (10, 3, and 7 months) and typically walk our local 9 hole course anyways. I am excited to test this out and since I am not the greatest golfer out there, my kiddos will get to see the WHOLE course, trees and all. My wife actually showed me the Kid Caddie about a month or two ago and is on the waitlist for it. We have used a Bobs jogging stroller to take our kids on the course but it just wasn't the most efficient way. How I plan to test The first thing I plan on doing when I receive the Kid Caddie is try it on the different strollers we have. I may even ask our neighbors who have little ones if I can see if it will fit. Next, I plan on putting all of my clubs and remaining golf items on the caddie. What I am really interested in is if there will be enough room in the pouch beneath the stroller to fit a diaper bag while having all of the clubs sitting in there. I will also be looking at if the accessories are must need items or more of an item of comfort. I am looking forward to getting the caddie in hand and getting my kiddos out on the course with me. And since this involves kids on the golf course, I plan on sharing quite a few pictures because who doesn't want to see cute kids playing on the course.

Well on the plus side, my four qualifiers all made the cut this time.

+1 83

Congrats testers! This should be a fun read and I am interested in how you guys are going to test them.

Snuck out of work early yesterday to walk 9. I think the testers are really going to enjoy these push carts.

Congratulations testers! Can’t wait to see the results!

Thanks! Being a competitive fat man that likes to drink beer it was the best fit.

I guess I should probably introduce myself on this part of the forum. My other expensive hobby is professional competition bbq, hence the username. I have been competing for about ten years along side my wife for the past 5. We’ve been all over the country cooking. Here are a few pics to see what we do.

With Memorial Day weekend coming up, I thought it might be fun to see who all is playing in a tournament this weekend. Our local course has a two-day three person scramble. My wife, sister in law and I are playing in it for the first time. Luckily for us it is handicapped and I definitely help raise up our handicap. Who else is playing in one and where at?

I have this push cart. I'll be interested to see if people will love it as much as I do.

Date 05/21/2023 Course Name Cottonwood country club Gross Score 93 Course Handicap 24 Gross Strokes over/under par 21 Net Score to Par -3 Net Score 69 Net Birdies or better 7 Longest Drive 0 Nothing like screwing up a good round with back to back to back triples.

Got a chance to go out and play a quick 9 with my sister-in-law this morning before coming into work. Managed to start out par, par, before a double, single, double. Played bogey golf from there on out. Gross 45 for a net 33 (-3). Considering my course handicap is a +24 I will definitely take it! Somehow I managed to hit my driver far and straight. Best round of 9 for the year for me.

I feel your pain…
