[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been on dcum a long time and this discussion has come up quite a bit. People feel very passionately about their positions.

It comes down to a fundamental difference in how you view the 5 year old vis a vis the trip.

Some people want to do London the way they want to do it as they would without a child, having long days and covering long walking distances. The child is expected to go along with the adult pace and scope and the traveler needs the stroller to accomplish this goal.

Others adjust their scope, pace and activities and modify the trip considerably to account for the child member of the party. They slow down or end earlier or whatnot to match the stamina of the child and don’t need a stroller.

I was always in the second camp because I have twins and the idea of dragging a double stroller up and down subway steps or through spaces or whatnot was unappealing. My kids were always fine to walk but we didn’t push them for like 30,000 steps a day or anything.

But this age and question and stage is short. Just pick a path and whatever you pick will be fine. This will not even be an issue or question for a 6 or 7 year old. [/quote]
