Ok so at times next week I've got 8 dc's (3 under 5, 2 over 2 and 3 over 8)

I want to take them to a soft play place and also to toddler group another day, I think if we walk the scenic route through the woods and park, away from the busier roads I could have the youngest 2 in double buggy then dd2 in a single buggy and letting the older 3 take turns to push her, she could walk with reigns but after a morning at soft play I think she will be tired and also I want both buggy's at soft play so both the youngest can have a nap there (my double does have 2 reclining seats but the first one doesn't lie back very far) but not sure what everyone else thinks to this?

The older 3 (one is my dd1) are very well behaved and sensible btw.

Also should I do a written risk ass. for this?

What would you do?

Deffo need written risk assessment. Have you got a friend you could team up with maybe to help with the ratios? I think you are very brave. I will have 5 one day next week of which 3 are under 2. I will be impressed with myself if we make it over the road to the play park!
