Toddlers out and about

[mummytobabygirl17]

Hi everyone

I know it probably sound like such a silly question.. does anyone’s little one like going out in their buggy once they get to 2?
Our LO is 2 next month she loves to walk and run Everywhere but sometimes she needs to be safe In her buggy If we ever go in a few shops and she hates it

Think I’m just having a worrying day that she’s always going to stress out.

My little one has hated her pram since 18 months, she’s 2.5 now & we rarely use it!

I used reins for quite a while, they worked well for keeping her safe around roads and general control. We did/still do take the pram if we thought we were walking a fair distance & she might get tired. The only time I use the pram now really is for trips to the shops on my own with her. I take snacks to keep her entertained in it & I go with a purpose. We go in, we get out. We don’t hang around or there’d be tantrums! Not so much supermarkets, I use trolleys then!

I use the buggy for the shopping centre because my LOs prone to a tantrum and collapsing on the floor- my husband still try’s to go out without it and then complains that she’s too difficult. In parks I don’t bother but it can end up me carrying part way home! She moans at first but then is ok- might be some “mummy up” - god bless foods to bribe with

OK...I am new here and not sure if I am posting my question in the right place but am hoping for some feedback. My son is almost 4 years old. My mother wants to take him to a Wake. He attended my brother-in-law's funeral a year ago but there was no body to view. We live on a farm and he is familiar with the concept of death but I do not feel it is appropriate for him to view a dead human body at this point. My mother says she was in her 20's before she had such an experience and almost hyperventilate. I was 6 and I remember it vividly. She suggests that because he didn't know this person, it would be good preparation. It could help build him up to when he will have to view a loved one. Not only do I not think he is ready for this but I feel it is highly inappropriate to take a toddler to a viewing for a man he didn't know and would be disrespectful to the friends and family members that are grieving. Can I get anyone's thoughts on the matter?

These days I either take a little stroller or a buggyboard on her baby brothers pram. Either way, the key is trusting they will hold your hand when asked. And the other, more crucial factor - take some really good bribery snacks. Sometimes it’s the only way. She’ll perch back in her stroller/on the board if she’s got a good snack to munch.
