We walk past the school which has a couple of stumps, cross the street and see the blue stop signy . Then to the stop light and walk next to the desert. Then another stop light and we spend a lot of time on the last 1/2 mile as we walk down the grass (since we don't have any). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1336987 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 21:45:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1336987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a mile is really far and that would be my limit. right now we walk 8-10 blocks for Charlie and Olive's school and it is far in the cold!</p> <p>@brownie: wow impressive! that would take olive like 3 hours because she has to touch everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1336954 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 21:17:31 +0000 katsupgirl 1336954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: I was probably just a grumpy teenager why I hated it. My sisters still complain about me being mean on the walk. </p> <p>If you have pretty decent weather the walk wouldn't be too bad and creates great bonding and memories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1336367 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 16:10:46 +0000 Greentea 1336367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: good point! I am place hunting and just found another that is exactly 1 mile... that will definitely take up a bit of my day... maybe I can walk the dog while I'm at it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1336338 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 16:03:31 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1336338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We walk 1 mile to preschool; it's a good walk but I wouldn't want to go much farther than that mostly because of the time it takes in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1336317 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:57:13 +0000 Greentea 1336317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: perfect! That will be so nice for him and you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1336315 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:56:30 +0000 Greentea 1336315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: oooooouu that's a cool idea. Much faster and I would feel like a special messenger only my message would be my daughter :) that is something to consider... and there isn't traffic along the lake... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1336309 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:55:12 +0000 Greentea 1336309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katsupgirl: I think it would take us about that long with a little kid and traffic... bummers you hated it! I had to walk myself since I was 6 and I HATED IT! I will be there for her :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1327360 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 07:35:20 +0000 looch 1327360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our elementary school is literally down the street, I could stand on the front lawn and watch my son walk to the school.</p> <p>For us it isn't so much distance as he wouldn't have to cross any main roads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1327201 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 00:39:04 +0000 mrbee 1327201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is a bike an option? We're considering a school for Olive next year that's pretty far away, and the plan is to bike there with her riding in a bike seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1327199 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 00:36:35 +0000 katsupgirl 1327199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure about distance but I used to wall my little sister to school. It was about a 20 minute walk. I hated it! I'm starting to think about school too and she's just a little over a year old. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1327101 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:25:22 +0000 Greentea 1327101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: I think I could do it! 4 miles... that is cool he does it and he is so young! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1327048 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:59:26 +0000 brownie 1327048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: You have to be willing to walk twice as much (I walk 3 miles a day) but he can do it at 2 1/2 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1327030 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:52:47 +0000 Greentea 1327030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: okay thanks. The place i am looking at is .9 miles from the elementary but dh was concerned. .. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1327027 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:51:10 +0000 brownie 1327027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We walk 1 1/2 miles to preschool right now and he is 2 1/2 years old. I would probably go 2 miles away for elementary school and 3 miles away from high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-distance-you-would-walk-lo-to-school#post-1326971 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:33:21 +0000 Greentea 1326971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am looking for a new place and want to be able to walk LO to school (she is a baby but I am thinking ahead) :) </p> <p>What is the longest distance you would think it practical to walk? Very cold and very hot weather unfortunately! </p>
