Is this a good idea?

[Cazweb04]

For a 11 year old to take their 2 siblings (6 and 7 years old) to school over a 1 mile walk away on their own?

No

Depends what the route is like? Are there busy roads to cross?

A few sort of busy

No

Far too much responsibility for the 11 year old.

No, my son is nearly 11, and I wouldn't feel it's fair to put him in the position of being responsible for a 6&7 year old. I wouldn't even ask my nearly 13 year old to be honest.

No, I wouldn't take the risk. I'd be constantly worried.

This is actually neglectful. Are you really asking this? So the 6 and 7 yr old start fighting and messing around and you expect an 11yo to keep them safe on the road? This place sometimes!

Absolutely not!

It’s a big obvious no. So why do you ask?

Nope

Just thinking about doing this in September that's all. I got a 3 year old who's too big for his pushchair so can't walk all that way. I don't drive either

God, no!

No . You could get a toddler bike with a handle on the back?

Will 3 year old be doing nursery?

No , it is not fair to make them responsible for 2 children of that age .

No, not ok. You need something else for the toddler if he can't walk - a scooter perhaps.

can you buy a secondhand buggy that will fit your toddler?

get a micro scooter and be a parent.

Jesus wept.

You’ll have to find another solution - bigger buggy or pull along scooter type of thing. You can’t put that responsibility for keeping a 6 and 7 year old safe onto an 11 year old.

Get the three year old a scooter. Or build up their walking ability now.

Totally unfair on the 11 year old to have that responsibility.

Google scooters with parent handles and see if any of those suit. There's no way that you can go with that plan.

You can let the 11 year old walk or cycle alone.

You need to manage the others yourself:
bus, buggy, bikes, scooter…?

No. The school wouldn’t be happy if they found out either. I know it’s difficult but look at getting your youngest on a scooter you can pull, or a different pushchair that’s bigger. The three wheelers tend to do well with pre-schoolers.

No, and school would definitely be noticing and logging as a safeguarding issue.

Get a trike (with parent handle) for the 3 year old.
