[quote=Anonymous]I weighed in with places to go . . . But OP is getting unfair flak about the spirited 4yr old. My older kid was 3.5-4 when my younger one was 12-18mo and those were tough times even though my older kid is pretty good and not usually a runner. The issue I am guessing is that the toddler is a new walker / fast crawler who doesn’t like being contained in a stroller and the mom needs to stay on the toddler 100% to keep them safe - which means that she can’t watch the 4yr old as closely as needed. This rules out things like pools and splash pads where a kid could slip and fall or drown. This also rules out library where a kid can run out the door or open parks where they can get too close to the road. [/quote]
