Public Transportation or Van?

[playfelt]

While talking about outings thought I would post this ad I just got from www.avronforkids.com

It is called the "Gaggle" and it looks like something Fred Flinstone would have driven but it is all plastic, seats 6 and has a solid roof. Cost is $2199 so more than most caregivers can afford but interesting all the same.

If you can get a really sturdy double stroller you might be able to actually get all three children into it if the seats do not have a middle separation - squishy and not for winter snowsuits but I know there were many times I would put the kids in the stroller and then the youngest baby on the lap of one of the kids for going to the school - usually the one holding the baby was able to walk just slow. I used the walking harness to strap in the baby so there was still a belt being used. Again not ideal but a way to do it for outings on the bus so your hands and body are free. Also if the group is that young you really have to weigh whether the outing is really necessary in terms of meeting a need or something that could wait till group is older and more could walk.
