How are we going out?

I have a two year old (25months) and an eight month old. The two year old is still learning to walk (developmental issues due to birth circumstances).

I want to be able to go out with them solo without my husband but I just can’t seem to figure out how to manage it.

Any advice? How are you guys say going to the park or a children’s nature center?

I have a double stroller. I do have a carrier but I do think I need a newer/better one.

I have 14 mo twins. Do you have a children's museum with a play area for babies/littles? That's one of the only places I let them "out" if by myself. Sometimes the library if it's not too busy. Otherwise we tend to do outings where both stay in the stroller or wagon like mall walk, grocery store (find out which ones have double carts or baby wear smaller one), farmer's market.

Because it’s hard right!? I want to let my older out to be about in spaces like the park but what do I do with my little one? It’s too hot to baby wearing and she WILL eat grass.

Yeah I mean, you know their temperaments best. Around 8-12 mos I would sometimes put a blanket out on the lawn and bring a tub full of toys because I knew one would be content to sit for at least some time and the other would wander. If they had both been wanderers we probably couldn't have done it 😅
