[quote=Anonymous]With two toddlers, I simply don't see a safe way of one adult bringing them somewhere without at least a carrier or one-child stroller. Preferably a two-child stroller. I used to have charges 14months apart. I used to practice staying together, especially with the older one. I'd allow her to walk independently at a familiar park. I'd tell her, "can you go out to that bench and then come back here?" For some reason, she liked this game, and got used to knowing where I was. From there I was able to give her simple directions, such as don't go beyond a fence. On occasion when she didn't obey, I would strap her into the stroller for a minute and told her she can only walk around if she listens. That only needed to happen a few times. I agree with the pp that these skills need to be practiced before you are in that situation. I think most 3y.o. are capable of staying with their caregivers if they are taught how to do that.
