HELP! Daughter does not want to go in the stroller and wants to be carried on the way home from the park and not get back in her tricycle. Nanny says it is hard for her. What should I do? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Don't take the tricycle for a little while and get her in the habit of riding in the stroller on the way home. If she won't get in the stroller, time out. [ Reply | More

NP: I went through this with my DS at the same age when I was juggling a newborn so carrying the toddler wasn't an option. He just had to get in the stroller--sometimes accomplished by bribes and sometimes by yelling. [ Reply | More

Maybe she is, but this is a very common issue. The real problem now seems to be consistency on the part of you and your nanny. [ Reply | More

Don't turn it into a negotiation. You are the parent. Stick to your guns and she'll cool it soon enough. [ Reply | More

Mine used to get out of the stroller by undoing the straps. I used a home child-safety thing (the looping cabinet door closure) in conjunction with the straps to keep him in. There are things out there, you just have to be inventive. [ Reply | More

As the mother of a 2.5 yo who can climb out of/unbuckle anything, my suggestion is not about what vehicle to bring her home with, but perhaps to change the timing. (Try to leave the park earlier, go at a different time etc., have an established destination for AFTER the park. That might help. [ Reply | More

YOU do nothing. This is an issue for the nanny to sort out. But really, she's 22 months. She does not deserve or demand to be carried by anyone. Just let your nanny know you support her. [ Reply | More

My pediatrician reminded me that for a NY parent, the stroller is a non-negotiable..not a bribable or sometimes. It is our version of a car seat...a safety issue. When we have the stroller with us, the stroller is what we sit in. Yep, strap 'em in and let em scream. OTOH, I did have one chidl who hated the stroller. We purchased one of those little tikes (I think, or maybe step 2) push cars. She never,ever fought us on that. It was good for little errands. If DD is fighting nanny on her tricycle (which I assume she is using as stroller and can not be strapped in), nanny needs to go back to the *real* stroller until dd is ready to cooperate on the trike.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS. So, today was the day! I stapped my little one in at 10 a.m. and she cried all the way to central park. Then she finally stopped and she got in and out for the rest of the day without a fight. Am I dreaming? Let's see how it works out tomorrow. OH, BIG help... I bought a harness thing for the top of the stroller strap. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM. THANK YOU THANK YOU [ Reply | More
