There was an idea put forward on the
Transportation of Elderly and Infirm Thread that might work for the cart/wagon option on this thread.
Now, to respond to your comments
It sounds like you are off to a good start with your daughter.
I thank you for your compliment about the start with my daughter.
Re: hiking. It sounds like your daughter can go quite a ways on her feet. I bet that in a few years, she'll be able to go really far on her own power.
You are right that for a two year old she has great endurance for walking on the relatively flat trails at sea level here in Florida, and I have no doubt with my continued guidance (training or whatever you want to call it) it will only increase, however, the fact that she Can do it is not nearly so important as being able to Motivate her to do it.. and from what I've read in an article in the February 2007 issue of Backpacker titled Family Camping 101, it just becomes more difficult to motivate them in the 3-6 years range and they begin to become too big and heavy to carry if they suddenly decide that they are done walking.
Ah the joys of potty training. All I can say is that it does get better. And when it is better, it is much better than diapers.
I've heard it is hard, I guess I'm just very lucky because she Wants to 'go potty like a big girl', wear 'big girl panties', and 'poo-poo on the big potty like a big girl', she will boldly announce 'Potty Daddy' or 'Poo-poo Daddy' and emphatically insist on useing the 'big potty chair' and she does not like haveing dirty (wet or otherwise) diapers (which I no longer use) or pull-ups (which is what I use for bedtime and long outtings) so much that She is the one trying to get them off to go all the time.
Anyways, this is all mostly outside the relm of this forum, but I have a hard time not talking about my daughter when the opportunity presents itself, like most loveing parents I suspect.
There are some car seats that double as strollers and can be used as booster seats in a pinch, and can also be taken onto an airplane.
Are these the carrier car seats for infants? If not, could you find an example on the web and post the link? I'd not heard of anything but the carrier travel systems.
