[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hiking is great for older kids. But I can’t exactly go hiking anywhere beyond the woods near my house in cold weather because there’s zero places to change a poopy diaper in the woods and I’m not making them freeze. Summer is a different story but not now. [/quote]

It's not cold right now if you're in the DC area.[/quote]

Totally agree - I am from Upstate New York and we are outside all winter. Just get appropriate clothes for your kids. I took my baby in a carrier (in snow pants, hat, etc) when they were like 6 months out on a walk when it felt like 0 degrees in New York during Christmas.  They loved it.  We were outside for maybe 30 minutes and it was good for them (and the older kids) to get some fresh air.[/quote]

NP.  Agree it’s not actually cold but I’m pretty sure the person said they didn’t want to change their baby’s diaper outdoors in this weather which I don’t think is unreasonable the last couple of weekends.  Where in the DMV can you only go outside for 30 minutes and still go “hiking”?  Even getting to rock creek park takes me the better part of the morning (and I wouldn’t really call that hiking).  I have plenty of neighborhood walks my toddler enjoys and we go out in all weathers but I don’t think someone who’s sick of the same walk she’s done every weekend for the past three months is wholly unreasonable.[/quote]
