How far is your walk to school?

I am trying to decide between the average school half a mile away or the excellent school 1.5 miles away (not to say I will get in it). Driving is out of the question because I don't want to have to get in the car every day but also the traffic is horrendous and it would take us 40 minutes.

What is your walk to school like (I will have a 6month old baby too so won't be able to cycle - roads are too busy and scary for a trailer thingy.)

I think 1.5 miles is too far to walk every day.

DD's school is just over 3 miles away, a 10 minute car drive. Walking is not an option.

About 100 yards - or I could throw dd1 over the back fence as it is behind our house. Lucky or what!!! We do rent btw and chose this house cos of school.
