It lives in my car. I plan to use it a bit more, but now that my daughter walks, not so much. I don't believe in extended stroller usage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-kids-in-a-stroller#post-492708 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:55:08 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 492708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I'll take it!

He's not even a chubby kid! He's super tall and really solidly built.</p> <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: Where I live looks more like this: </p> [attach=1353/13/mge28f.600x398.8118693617_1a629210ce_z.jpg] [attach=1353/13/mge28g.600x400.mes_Graves-_near_Thetford-_Norfolk_-_geograph.org.uk_-_41510.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-kids-in-a-stroller#post-492678 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:41:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 492678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: omg a 45 lb 3 year old?!?</p> <p>My sister is 8 and a tiny little thing - she'd still fit in a stroller easily!</p> <p>50 lbs is definitely long enough to get full use out of the stroller! I think you can use a stroller until your child is strong enough to walk at least a mile with you... so 3-4? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-kids-in-a-stroller#post-492676 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:39:53 +0000 loveisstrange 492676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: Haha, I had to look up what Doc Martin is. I live on the opposite side of the country from where that show is supposed to take place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-kids-in-a-stroller#post-492667 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:37:06 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 492667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: so off topic, but is it just like Doc Martin makes it out to be? And if so, can we switch lives for a minute? Or several? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-kids-in-a-stroller#post-492627 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:19:25 +0000 T-Mom 492627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 4 and still uses an umbrella stroller on occasion. She's 35 lb. I can see her needing it until she stops napping (around 5). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-kids-in-a-stroller#post-492624 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:18:15 +0000 loveisstrange 492624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in rural England, so we deal with cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, etc. a lot. I'm also a SAHM, so I needed something light and easy to handle. We also wanted a "forever" stroller. We decided on the CityMini, which has the 50lbs weight limit too.</p> <p>I think it depends on how big your kids is, to be honest. I have a friend who has a 45lb 3 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-kids-in-a-stroller#post-492620 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:14:45 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 492620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I have an infant carseat and caddy (Chicco brand), now looking for a stroller to use for...forever? I want something lightweight; we live out in the country and even our basic walk in the neighborhood requires some offroading so we don't use a stroller very often. So something I can keep stowed in my car all the time and that is easy is ideal. I am leaning toward the First Years Jet. </p> <p>Anyway, the weight limit on this stroller is 50 lbs. Stupid question, but a kid who is 50 lbs is still in a stroller? Isn't that like, a kindergartener? </p> <p>So, how long do most kids stroll? </p>
