childminders club - How old is too old for a buggy

[karen23]

My 3 year old mindee is 3 and refusing to walk anywhere because he is too tired - he has to get up at 6am to get to mine for 7ish.

He's getting very whingy about having to walk my dd to school and the 10 min walk has turned into 20. This then sets us up for a bad morning.

Can't get a buggy board as my dd helps me push the buggy for the youngest

Is 3 too old to go in a buggy?

i dont think so! IMO they become too old for a buggy when they start school! (tho many choose not to use them for some months before)

I still use a buggy for my 4 yr old if I know we will be walking a bit - just can't be bothered with the whinging!

I've spoke it over with his mum and she's fine with him going in a buggy and I've just ordered one.
