I never used a stroller.

At that time, people said I was a bad parent for not using one.

I carried my children when they were babies, and once they were old enough to walk, I let them walk. I put them in a dog harness and leash so they would wander off too far or get lost, but walk they did. And when they got tired, I carried them.

At the zoo, the park, and the Book Sale, they rode in a wagon. In fact, we were responsible for the trend of zoos renting wagons out to patrons with children because in a wagon, we could load all the kids, an ice chest, and snacks. The children could get in and out easily, walking when they wanted and riding when they tired, and it was so much easier to deal with than strollers for multiple children. It was easier to maneuver, and the kids could use it to stand up in for better looks at things. The wagon held things and kids so much better!

I never did like strollers.
