How old is too old for stroller/pram?

[bbyno1]

I had one old lady say to me the other day 'oh,get her out that buggy,shes far too old for one of them now' I just sarcasticly smiled and walked away before i said anything.

Shes only two! Big deal shes in a buggy really. I mean she only learnt to walk 1 year ago. She gets tired and enjoys it in her buggy more than walking so thats where she likes to be. If she ever wants to get out of course i let her out,no problem but i wont force her to walk. Sometimes i try encouraging her to walk into and back from town which is 10 mins each way and she enjoys that but soon as we reach the shops she wants to get back in.

It depends how much walking you need to do. We don't walk any long distances so stopped using the buggy a while ago. But if she was very tired and I needed to go out I might consider the buggy. Also if she was unwell. She is over the weight limit for it anyway.

I think it depends on how much walking you'll be doing and how fast you want to get somewhere. I would think a 4 year old is old enough to walk by themselves in most situations, but it does depend on the situation.
