yep, that's the thing... when you have more than 1 child to supervise it gets harder and you have to be tougher... I let my middle child walk around more... but I don't have enough hands to hold my 6yo's hand and push the pram and hold my 3yo's hands when we are crossing the road etc.
I've been trying to let DS walk sometimes, but its never been very successful. One time he wanted to wander into every single shop. Another time he ran like a banshee through the supermarket (although that was funny- it was quiet and I let him run, he had a blast). And the other day I put him down at Bunnings and all he did was stand still and stare around at this HUGE place he was in. Seems like I always end up carrying him if I try letting him walk, so if I'm not prepared to do that, in the pram/ trolley it is!
