no longer likes to sit in stroller

ladylisalt · April 2013

My 20 mos. old son does not like to sit in his stroller for long. Of course this makes sense. He would rather be off and running. I was hoping for some nice walks now that the weather is getting better but he lasts for about 10 min. Is this your situation? Should I just settle on the fact that my longer walks with him are on hold for awhile?

Have you tried new things in the stroller? Snacks, toys etc? Also, what does he actually do to tell you he doesn't want to be in there, does he throw a fit? If so, and you ignore it for a minute maybe he will stop and settle in? I certainly wouldn't want

Honestly, I havent done snacks bc I didnt want that to be associated with his walks. I guess I could try. He arches really hard and slides himself to the edge. I try to ignore it but he keeps trying to get out. Some days are better than others. I am think

My 21 month old did the same thing and I put a stroller pinwheel (i found it on walmart website) on the bar in front of him and that helps for a few minutes. I also find that if I point out things like planes and trucks or play his favorite songs on my ph

Bring the stroller he walks fr a while out of it, then goes in it, then probably comes out for some walking again. We do this all the time, even when it's just me and her.

I run with DD almost every day and I basically give her a sippy of milk and a snack she wants and tell her that we're going for a run for 45 minutes and that's it!

My kid has hated the stroller since she could walk, so I feel her.

However, her wagon is her best friend! She feels less restricted and can see more. Loves it.

When I need to get my run in with her, I bribe her with a sippy and snacks or

I know a lot of ppl dont like them but my DD is very free spirited so even before a year old she was fighting the stroller. We live by the beach so i wanted to walk with her. I bought her an Eddie Bauer harness backpack. My DH was completely against it

Is there a place you can take him where you're comfortable letting him run around while you walk? Like a trail? We have a great trail by my house, which is what made me think of it. I'm not too worried about him running ahead, because we

Why can't he walk? We don't use our stroller much anymore because DS prefers to walk.

My kid has hated his stroller since about 10 months. He can walk for an hour or more without getting tired, so usually we just let him walk. But a lot of times, we bring the stroller and he'll either help me push it or I'll push it with one hand while hol
