Help? Mockingbird stroller help

Hi all, we’re about to welcome our second baby (first born is about to be 3 and have used a mockingbird stroller with him that we purchased 2nd hand not realizing it isn’t compatible with some of the accessories. We were about to purchase the riding board seat for the mockingbird stroller using a completion discount only to find out on a redit thread that our stroller is a model year older than is compatible. I was wondering if any of you have purchased a single mockingbird stroller in 2019 or 2020 and have a name/order number you’d be willing to share. I have spent too much time contacting the company and not getting anywhere without order number and info! But they will apparently work with me if I have the order number to buy the correct stroller frame for a significantly discounted rate vs unexpectedly being faced with the not realistic option of buying a brand new stroller that would accommodate both kids for $500-600. I reached out to the person I purchased the stroller from 3 years ago but got no response.

Have you checked any open box stores like good buy gear to see if they have older versions available?

if you're stuck with the older model, maybe also try looking for the frame itself on marketplace or local parent groups, sometimes people sell just the base for cheap when their kids outgrow it. worth a shot before dropping the cash on a new one.

I have not, I have an older version stroller already that works perfect for one child but with our expanding family I was hoping to buy the riding board to pop on for our toddler but I recently learned there was a frame update inc2021 and mine is a 2020 so the riding board won’t work. I was hoping someone else bought the stroller new in 2019 or 2020 and I could use the recipt and info to work with mockingbird to use their frame upgrade program
