Very cool!

I love the walkadile! I have one of those things with loops that go around each child, but they must walk in a line one in front of the other and I haven't actually tried it yet. I just have it for emergencies in case a wheel falls off of my six seater stroller or something...LOL. I plan to try it out in the summer though and practice on paths at the park. The walkadile looks better though!

But they do have to start slowly and go short distances to work up the strength in their little legs.

My thoughts exactly Momof4! I usually start those in my care around 18 months. However, this girl is new to me has been quite pampered in her previous care. She doesnt know how to cross the street, stay on sidewalk etc. It is quite frustrating when we are on a deadline for the school bus in the morning. I have never used a backpack like that before. Ive been lucky with good listeners/walkers but I think I will scope some out this weekend. Thanks

Does any of you know when I could find one of those back pack? I have 1 17 and 1 16 MO... It wuld be sooooo great

I just found them on walmart website so im going to check them out tomorrow.

I bought my little animal backpacks at Walmart for about $20 but I found one at Value Village for $1.50! I don't know if anybody has a Value Village but it's the equivalent of Goodwill only run by the Diabetes Society.

I will NOT take any chances with a walking child who is not attached to me. One little second of confusion with a child darting into traffic and I would have to live with that for the rest of my life, let alone the family! Noooooo!
