[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister lives in Manhattan and literally all the kids up until 7 or 8 ride in strollers to their neighborhood school. It’s just a fast and efficient way to walk to school. Kids walk some of the way but maybe hop in to eat or whatever or are running late. It looks totally bizarre to me because in my area (Arlington) you never see that past like going to the zoo for the day. So maybe she’s from NYC? Or another urban area where it’s common.[/quote]

I lived in Manhattan for 5 years and visit often I literally never saw an 8 year old in a stroller. That sounds completely absurd.  It's harder to push an 8 year old in a stroller down a Manhattan street than it is to walk with.  What neighborhood is that?  Must be the UES  :shock: [/quote]

Yeah that’s ridiculous even in Manhattan. My now 8 year old ran her first 5k at age 7!  The reason some of these kids can’t walk more than a quarter mile is because nobody ever lets them build up stamina!  They are always shoved on a stroller. [/quote]
