Tomorrow is going to be almost 70! Wa hoo! I have got to get the kids out for fresh air. I have a 3 y/o and a 9 month old, and I was thinking about putting them in the wagon tomorrow and go exploring. There are seatbelts in it, but its a far cry from the 5 point harness she has in her stroller. There will be a lot of jiggling too. Now that Im typing this Im realizing its a bad idea. Lol
Anyways, would you put a 9 month old in a wagon?

What can I do next?

yep. I would and I have. just pay special attention to the bumps and dips in the road as sometimes it pops them off center.
By 9 month good core strength.
Have fun!! It is supposed to be 70ish here today, too. Yay!!

Absolutely. Make sure there are some blankets in there to pad the sides. Ask your 3 y/o to let you know if 9 m/o needs help...but a little jiggling? Babies LOVE to be jiggled! :-) I'll be she'll LOVE it. I'd be inclined to MAKE it jiggle just to get a laugh out of baby.

Don't worry, Mama...you'll be right there!

Sure, it'd be like riding in the seat of the grocery shopping cart, which also only has a seatbelt. Enjoy the weather!!

Sure I think at 9 months she is capable of being in a wagon as long as there was a seat belt holding her in so she did not try to climb out.

And seriously its supposed to be 70 in MI tomorrow???? You must not be in MI. lol

Edit: Booooo....you got me all excited. LOL

If my baby could sit up then yes I would put the in the wagon. Just check every couple of seconds to make sure she is still sitting up

I probably would have for a short period of time to see if my child liked it. Both my kids had pretty good core strength by 9 months. Of course my youngest preferred to be held (still does at 3.5!) so I might have carried her in the bjorn. Hope you can enjoy the nice weather!

I think I would put the child in the wagon for a while. They may get tired and want to go to sleep after a bit so I would do a double stroller. But if a wagon is what you have then go for a short while in it.

I think the three year old would be fine, but I would not put the baby in. Since you will be pulling it you can't see if the baby falls or gets bumped (this is why Disney does not allow them in the parks).
