I still put my almost five year old in our double jogger sometimes when we hike. It's nice because the kids can do some of the hike walking and some hanging out. I also like using our dueter backpack for my almost three year old, but it can be kind of hard to get on by myself.

@Mrs. Cereal: We still use our double bob occassionally for our 5 and 3 yo kids for long hikes/walks. As a family walkkng we top out at about 1 mile or 30 min. We will do 5-6 miles in the stroller. We aren’t going for strenuous hikes. When we hit hills I kick the 80lbs of kids out of the stroller and make them walk.

ETA: I might be an outlier because I’m wishing I could use the stroller to get my soon to be Kindergartener to school quickly. Somebody tell me that’s ok.

@Mrs. Cereal: we have a bob and my 6.5 year old still rides in it sometimes when she gets lazy at the zoo/parks etc. my 3 y/o rides in it more.

We also have a hiking backpack that we got when our first was 1. We used it I think until she was 4 or 4.5? Right now with the (just turned) 3 year old he rides in it a decent amount and walks a little at the beginning and the end for hikes. We have a Chicco one and have liked it. It was definitely cheaper than a bob if you don’t have either right now!

@Corduroy: no judgement on big huge kids in strollers!

@Mrs. Cereal: my little is 32ish pounds and 37 inches and fits great in her toddler beco. But I totally get not wanting to carry that on your back

@Mrs. Cereal: i was really surprised at what a difference the bigger toddler panel made. Wearing her in a baby sized panel is painful!

I much prefer a woven wrap with how much she weighs but she usually won't hold still long enough to be wrapped

I still put my 3 and 5 year olds in a stroller when needed. No shame

@cnidaria: We have the Deuter Kid Comfort II as well and still love it with our 35 lb 3 year old. It's very comfortable!
