To ask at what age did you stop using a pushchair?

[alwsysri]

How old is too old for a child to need a pushchair?

4.5 ish for DC 1. No car, I walked miles, she couldn't even walk until 2 (turned out she has ASD, DCD and hypermobility).

3 ish for DC2, who could ride a bike then, but still loved a nap on a long day out.

Sometimes just used a sling but that's hard work with older toddlers if e.g. you have shopping to carry as well.

Sorry you are offended that wasn’t my intention in fact quite the opposite - I was trying to say that most people know the difference between disability and laziness.
I was making a statement based on my experience only. We have a high percentage of SEN at the school I teach in and all of the children who need one are either small for their age or in a specialist pushchair or a wheelchair.

It was a gradual thing from around 18 months, depending on where we were going and what we were doing. Short trips - no buggy. Long days out with lots of walking or requiring a nap - still using the buggy at 2.5.
Rarely used it beyond age 3 unless they were poorly and we needed to walk a long way. Didn't use it at all after 3.5.

My oldest pretty much as soon as he was walking confidently as he would happily walk on his own. But we did bring it back for a holiday with friends where we were out later at night and would sleep in it.
Current littlest is 2.5 will use it for a lot longer due to walking the dog that we didn’t have with no 1 and also the school run. She insists on being picked up and I’m not carrying her everywhere

Depends on the child really. DS hated his from starting to walk aged 1 or so and I only had him so it wasn’t a big problem not to use it. Dd is just 4 and loves hers, would probably happily sit in it now but we haven’t used it for a while, probably started reducing aged 3 and used hardly at all from 3.5.

Just used carriers as it was easier. Didn’t drive. The pushchair got in the way and couldn’t go most of the places we needed to go so it got left at home most trips, and then just got in the way, so I sold it. Thought I might get another but never did, so the subsequent DC only rode in one at Grandma’s (and loved it for the novelty I think)

There is no age too young or old if that family is happy and having their needs met.
