[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not gonna lie, we used one up to age 7. After age 3, we just used a foldable umbrella stroller for days with a lot of walking like Kings Dominion, the zoo, museum trips etc.[/quote]

Lol, hope you weren't offended when my 6 yr old asked why your 6 yr old was in a stroller and I said "he's probably disabled and can't walk." [/quote]

I would never say this out loud but when I see an older kid who looks like they can  walk being pushed in a stroller I assume they are either disabled in some way or have lazy parents. But it would be rude to say aloud, especially passive aggressively to my kid! [/quote]

But how does it bother you? There are so many reasons why this would work for a family. Let people be. So much judging for such weird reasons. [/quote]

3rd pp on the above string here...it doesn't hurt me or my family (my kid has been out of the stroller since a bit before his second birthday and has no problem walking long distances), hence why I would never say anything out loud. But I can think whatever I want, and privately I think using a stroller with older kids is weird and infantilizing and probably bad for the kid. So I judge, but silently. [/quote]

DP.  I confess, I've judged too when I saw some kids coming to K in strollers when my kid the same age had been walking for years?  I knew them too, and no disabilities.  But you know what?  Those kids are all heading to middle school now and those days are long forgotten.  Kids are perfectly normal.  There a lots of times when kids hang out to things longer than they "should" -- drinking from bottles or sippies or sleeping with parents or riding in strollers.  Most of the time it resolves itself and no harm done.  Parents put too much pressure on themselves to make sure their kid keep on schedule with all these things lest other parents judge them and it's really no big deal for most kids.  [/quote]
