what age would you keep your child in a buggy until?
hi i ask because i see quite a lot of the prams/buggies say suitable until age 4. do 4 year olds really go in a buggy?
my 3 year old mostly walks now, and we recently got rid of her buggy (as it was worn anyway and wouldnt have done for the new baby), but tonight i was nipping to the bank and as she is tired at this time, and cause of the bad weather and just cause its quicker and easier, i put her in the new babys buggy (well its a travel system, but the buggy part)...but now i have realised how simple it would be if she went in a buggy more often...i miss being able to get places quick and just get my shopping done without chasing her around etc (well shes actually quite good at walking beside me, holding hands etc but it is just simpler)
so what i want to know is does anyones 3 or 4 year old still go in a buggy?
obviously once the baby comes she will need to walk or use buggy board but for now it would be a lot simpler...she is quite tall and people tend to think she is 4 anyeway which is another concern....i worry too much that people will be staring cause she big in buggy.

she definitely prefers walking anyway, and knows she was just having a wee shot of the babys buggy so it will be fine. thanks.

My oh's mum is a childminder and one of the lo's who is 3 walks on her own but the other one who is nearly 3 goes in the pushchair. No-one really looks though as he is so tiny as he was prem. I think it depends on the child!

I was in town about 6months ago and some guy commented on Amber being in the double buggie, didn't she know what her legs were for? I went mad, told him that if he'd like to walk the 3miles home with us and carry her when she was tired, (we walked i and around for a couple of hours) then he was quite welcome to comment, if not, could he please mind his own business!!! He's like, sorry, I didn't know. Well don't say anything then!!!
Sorry, rant over!
