Do any still have children in them?

One or two do. The squalling distracts Oscar while he's trying to pee on them.

I have nothing to say but want to chime in on this post because mamacita is tryin to relieve the "attack" mode of other threads. I am reaching a point where if I say anything I get attacked.

Can I give your non-existent 5 year old a hug?

Well Anastasia... I am happy to hear the "good news".. Hey the whole thing is a so what. The thing I think is terrific is that many people who post here DO understand each other and there are so many people who have met here and have met in the real world as well.

This is such a popular question from people who don't have kids. Here's the answer:

In the city, you walk everywhere. It's not uncommon for someone in Prospect Heights to walk to the South Slope for lunch or Smith Street or Dumbo or whatever. It's not a huge burden on an adult but on short legs, it is. But mostly it's about time: if you've ever walked with a child you'd know they don't get anywhere too quickly. The meander. Plus, again, short legs don't conquer distance too swiftly. So in order to make it somewhere, you need a stroller.

A granny cart can hold a child quite nicely.

OK to go to a bar? Gee, I thought legal drinking age in NY was 21, not 5.

And, mama, you had me going for a second too until I saw what you were asking for, LOL

But nonhipold - I used to stuff my 5/6-year-old in a jogging stroller on long (2 mile-plus) neighborhood hikes because I wanted to *walk*, not take the bus. I'm not sure I see how taking the bus is more virtuous than getting there by foot, albeit w/ the aid of a stroller. Anything closer to a mile they could walk just fine - when we went on vacation this summer, both kids were able to go on 2 and 4 mile mountain hikes with us and the 7 year old was still talking a blue streak by the end, so I know they aren't couch potatoes like so many suburban kids (my own childhood included).

BUT - can anyone recommend a stroller for a 75-pound sheepdog so I can walk her in the park without a leash after 9am? (I'm sorry, I can't resist!)
