So yeah, it was a bit busy. Mostly with parents (and a large percentage of Dads) getting out of the house with the kids. First stop was the kids area for the family time at 10:30 - and stroller parking.
The stroller seemed like a good decision when I was racing through the wet rainy parking lot. It helped us keep up a decent pace. I didn't have to chase him everywhere and he could sit and snack between attractions. But I had to lift him in and out of the stroller a lot of times. Plus it was crowded and waiting for elevators is annoying. There were a lot of other young kids running/walking/being carried around without a stroller. And I wondered if perhaps that would have been a smarter choice.
We aren't stroller dependent folks. And our little guy likes to walk. What do you think? With a 2 year old. Do you take the stroller or go free at the aquarium?
I generally go free, or use a baby carrier. However, when I tried that with my 14-month-old at the aquarium it was a nightmare. People almost tripped over him more times than I could count, and he almost escaped a couple of times. So, in the future, I would err on the side of bringing the stroller for sure.
ReplyDeleteIf I was to go to the aquarium before say...next summer I'll bring a stroller. Amelia is hell bent on escaping any chance she gets! She does like holding my hand but ONLY if I am going where she wants to.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that by the tme she is two she'll grasp the idea that running away from Mom is NOT a good idea! Just in case though, I'll bring my unicorn harness ;)
