Help me to get my 17mo DD to like her stroller again!!!!

- have you tried just a normal pusher? Not pram??

What do you mean? Do you mean a stroller? We have a steelcraft lightweight stroller instead of a bulky pram if thats what you mean lol

I guess I was hoping also to hear from anyone who's cheeky toddler did this for a while then outgrew the stage and went back to loving (well, not loving LOL) liking their pram again for short bursts?!?!

My dd used to hate the pram, so it's possible she might like it again.

Dd uses her stroller around the house as a toy...she puts Teddy in and other toys and pushes them around and makes them go nigh-nigh (pulling the hood down saying "shhhhh"...too cute!). She also has a toy stroller that Teddy goes in (she mimics everything I do, so Teddy has a nappy and clothes etc...and she has a bag on the handle).

I am just thinking...what if you modelled behaviour using a favourite toy...So she can see that pram equals going out and fun. Or could you get her to push a toy stroller around?? Less likely to run off then I would think.

Just thinking out loud (or on the page) so I hope you find a solution soon.

You've made some great suggestions Arcadia thank you!! BUT yep we've tried that...... !!! DD has a toy stroller that she LOVES pushing around with her dolls and teddies in it...... does it all the time!! I could bring the stroller with me out to the shops (her toy one) but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be long before she was distracted by something else and took off the opposite direction!!! LOL I just think she is much safer in a stroller, ergo or trolley She's just a little houdini..... my little explorer who won't sit still!!!!
