[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on what you use a stroller for. We definitively barred our oldest from the stroller at age 5.5, a year ago. We occasionally need to walk 1.5 miles or even a little more, one way, as a family, and I have not found that it's realistic to expect a 3 or 4 year old to consistently make such a walk without a break. And definitely not at a speed that is practical for the adults.[/quote] My 3.5 year old can do this and has been able to since about 2. Because we stopped using the stroller and taught him to walk places...[/quote] How long does it take him to walk 1.5 miles?[/quote] I budget 20-30 minutes per mile, with the awareness that some children will be running ahead, some with drag their feet, and others will need to be carried partway. 45 minutes to walk 1.5 miles is plenty.
