Hey parenting vets, what should I do? Stroller escapee...

My son is the same age. Luckily the strollers we have he can't open. We do have the McClarin finger remover so we have to get that fixed.



The only suggestion is to get another stroller that is harder to open.



Otherwise just put these on.

[quote author="traceimage" date=1257856376]Thanks for the replies. He's 21 months old. It's not an umbrella stroller, but a lightweight regular one - the one we got with our travel system before he was born. It has a 5-point harness, but it stays together with just one button in the center. So all you have to do is push the button, and the harness falls apart. I don't think my son is actually trying to get out of the stroller, he's just a typical curious toddler who wants to push every button he sees. So today he realized he can push the button and pop, the strap thing just fell apart. The stroller does have a tray but it lifts off vertically and doesn't have a thing that goes between his legs underneath, if that makes sense.



He can walk, and would of course LOVE to walk everywhere if I let him, but it's just easier to get things done if I can confine him to a stroller for some outings so he's not trying to dart off and ask "What's that? What's that?" about everything he sees. And I'm kind of against those harness things...they seem like leashes to me.</blockquote>


The type where you have to pinch from two sides are the best. I even have a hard time opening it.

Me too. If I end up buying a new stroller, I'll get one like that.
