[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is filled with parents of onlies or who have two kids close together, or people who don't travel a lot with kids in the 4/5/6 range. Just weird lack of understanding about what is even being asked.

Bring the stroller.[/quote]

this is a 5 year old - too damn old to be in a stroller. I think you have forgotten what 5 looks like! They aren't two. [/quote]

Agreed. None of my kids would ever need a stroller at age 5. Five year olds can walk a lot. My kids have walked at least a mile each way to/from school since age 3. 
You aren’t walking a 10k, it’s walk a bit, stop for an activity or food, walk some more. My family with 3 kids who are spread across 5 years. When my youngest was 4 we spent a month in Europe without a stroller and he was totally fine. We averaged about 10,000 steps a day in cities and just made our itinerary appropriate including using public transportation and lots and lots of snacks. This past summer when youngest was 7 we spent 2.5 weeks in Italy and walked a lot more. When he was 6 we hiked all over several of the national parks in Utah including a 13-mile hike in the Needles of Canyonlands and guess what, he loved it! 
Just get your kids walking a bit every day and they will be fine. Leave the car and walk places in your neighborhood. [/quote]

I suggested OP take a stroller.

May be You don’t walk. But We easily do 20k-30k steps when sightseeing. And this is the difference between people who suggest strollers and those who say a 5 year old is too old.

On our last trip our youngest was 7 and managed to do this. But at 5 it would be harder. [/quote]
