[quote=Anonymous]OP, it is tough to give you an objective answer unless you let us know exactly where you live at.

There are some parts of the country where taking a child outside in the heat is considered dangerous.

I live in Southern CA and during extreme heat waves, even the meteorologists on the news caution people to stay indoors as much as possible due to the heat. They even have "cool zones" designated throughout our community for those that have no access to A/C such as community centers and libraries.

Desert areas such as Vegas, Bakersfield, etc. can be deathly hot during the summer and taking a child out in such heat would be cruel and senseless just to "get him out of the house."

OP, if it is truly uncomfortably hot and your child would be subjected to the heat, then I think you should definitely re-consider letting your nanny drive your child. To not let him drive your child is a selfish decision in my opinion, you are not taking his comfort into consideration. If she is allowed to drive him, he can sit in her air-conditioned vehicle and they can go to an air-conditioned indoor mall, restaurant, public swimming pool, etc. There will be more options.

But if you only allow her to walk, they will be forced to not only be subjected to the intense heat, but also to limited access to shade and no A/C.[/quote]
