My dd will be three in June. She loves running, jumping, and walking.<br>
However, I sometimes feel like AP is coming back to bite me in the rear end. She LOVES to be carried. She also LOVES her jogging stroller.<br><br>
We walk a lot for transportation because we have no car during the week. Sometimes we take the bus, but the bus doesn't always go where we are going. She wants to be carried or she wants to ride in the stroller. I find the stroller to be really unmanageable in stores, and I can't carry her on my back for more than 45 minutes because she is 35 lb+.<br><br>
I know that she can walk for some time. Besides (this is the bad mommy bit)...I don't want her to get used to SITTING all the time. She says she is tired after 1/2 a block. She wants to sit or to be carried. The result: we both get frustrated and have tantrums.<br><br>
Should I just strap her into the stroller in the morning and let her stay there until we get home? Or are there ways to help her become happier with walking, at least for short distances?<br><br>
Thanks!
