I would take my 5yo off a non-moving ride if someone else wanted a go. She is old enough to understand taking turns and not getting everything your own way.
I would avoid taking my 2 yo off a non-moving rise if at all possible. She would likely have a kicking and screaming tantrum. I have a bad back and trying to lift an angry tornado is not good for me and unsafe for her because I might drop her.
It doesn't mean she's a brat with a sense of entitlement, just a mighty toddler. Most parents instinctively understand that and would either wait their turn or offer to put money in. In which case I would of course say thank you.
