how old do kids need to use a stroller?

Answer 1

That depends on the child. Some are good about holding hands & walking with parents by 2 yrs, other kids are runners, they need to stay in the stroller longer. Most strollers do have a weight limit listed, so definitely not longer than when they reach that weight. I think by about 3-4, kids should be able to walk with parents rather than using the stroller, unless it is going to be a very long walk to where you are going. I have seen in the mall parents with kids at least 7-8 sitting in the stroller, clearly too big to sit in the thing (legs are too long to fit, some kids drape their legs over the stroller tray), I think that is just laziness, and the parents are promoting it.

Answer 2

it depends on the child... some kids are small for there age and they are still in a stroller until 5 or 6. some kids are lazy and they dont like walking...my nephew is 3 & he has been walking to & back from every store in the mall since he was 1 1/2 years old and my son is the same age & he is lazy & does not walk not even to the corner store. i guess you use the stroller until the child doesnt want it anymore. there is no problem being in a stroller... i believe you should take the stroller away when the child reaches the age of 4..

Answer 3

Depends. After 3, they should be able to walk just about anywhere but if you're going to Disneyland, I've seen 5-6 year olds in a stroller because that's a lot of walking.

Answer 4

Even though my daughter is 3 years old I still use my stroller in some situations, like the mall for instance. People dive like A$$holes in mall parking lots so I use it to make a safe entrance inside. Also its great to store all my shopping bags in as well.

Answer 5

I would say 2. I see people putting newborns in the real cheap ones and the baby is all squashed. It is cruel.
Depends on your child and the quality of stroller you buy.

Answer 6

well it really doesnt matter just strap them in really goo. /
