When you go to the zoo/mall/grocery store with your 3/4/5 year old, where do you put them? Stroller? Let them just walk?
We have a almost 4 year old and expecting #2 in February. I plan to carry the baby in Moby Wrap for a least the first few months but I am not sure what we will do with DS #1 when DS #2 too big for the Moby. Our 4 year old is.. busy! I am not sure I trust him walking next to me just yet. He is soo long and will out grow any stroller we have here (chicco stroller and running stroller) by the summer..
What do you do?
Re: Too big for stroller?: WWYD
All of this. DS hasn't used a stroller or sat in a cart in a store in a really long time. Probably since DD was born. We even do trips on the Metro in to the city for museum or zoo trips and he is just fine. But, I also enforced the leaving immediately if he doesn't listen thing way early. We once even got off of a train and got back on the train home.
The only place we take the sit and stand these days is to the zoo.... and we used it over the summer on the boardwalk. Other than that, he is fine to walk. We're going to Sesame Place on Sunday so we'll bring it then. More so b/c it's going to be cold and we're going to need to get around a little faster than I think he'll be able to keep up by the end of the day.

We use the wagon for the zoo, and that's about the only time I need something.
What about one of those boards that you can hook onto the back of a stroller, so he can ride standing if he gets tired of walking?
