[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could see holing on to ours that long. I like to walk to run errands, and sometimes it’s too far (or too long) for DD, 3.5, To walk. I take the stroller and she can decide to go in or not. If I’m doing a morning of errands, she’ll pop in and out as she gets tired or bored, or to have a snack / drink, etc. It’s great storage for everything too.

We live a brisk 20 min walk from her school, and if it’s a nice day and I’m off, I can go pick her up and we can wander home, but again - it’s pretty far for her sometimes. I guess I could cart her bike while I’m walking but that’s a pain, and sometimes she likes to chill and have a snack while we talk about her day. I can also pack her stuff underneath so we don’t have to carry it while we walk, and it’s perfect if we end up picking up a few groceries or something.

I think many of you anti stroller people are simply “walking is for exercise only” people and don’t understand that walking can be a way of life, and your way of life has to in, use your children and their needs too. We make running errands into a fun morning or afternoon without the car, and it suits lots of needs, including activity.

I swear though, there is so much judging in this board that is so ridiculously petty - this one is especially hilarious. [/quote]

Seriously, it's the people who say "I only have 10 minutes so I'll drive the kids" who judge the most that I am am saying "I only have a half hour so I'll take put the kid in the stroller rather than walking for 50 minutes at distracted child speed." [/quote]
