I use a double stroller, baby wear the smallest and the olders hang on to one of those things that is a rope with a handle for every kid. We practice a lot to hang on that rope! I am just not strong enough to push 3 or 4 kids so whoever is walking learns the rope rules asap.

I think I might get the Sunshine Radians. I think they are about 180??
And fro the stroller the triple with two of the wrist thingy's. (Thank you Nan for the link.) My walkers are 4 and JUST 3 - hope the 3 will do ok.
Thanks, all, this was very helpful!Comment

My kids start walking alongside the stroller about six months after they have started walking.Originally posted by Mom_of_two View Post
If the kid is froggy, low muscle tone, and/or clumsy then I hold off until they get more adept.Comment

I like the Walkadile but its $$$ and it only works for up to 6 kids. The other one we WILL be ordering...our kids are pretty good at staying together on field trips, but we just about wear ourselves out making sure everybody has their partner. I saw that on a training video a few weeks ago, and I was thnking about trying to make one...but at $25 we can just buy it. Thanks!Originally posted by meganlavonnesmommy View PostI dont have any experience with strollers. But I used this when I had a group of 2-3 year olds. It worked great!
They also have this, which would work better for kids that want to run.

I have transported three across in my Nissan Murano with a combination of $39.99 Costco convertible seat(s) from Target, a fairly narrow MicroCosy infant rear facing seat and booster seats with backs. Always a tight fit, but w/enough room to safely secure seatbelts. All three are shoulder belts which is a little trickier. I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a combination of car seats that will fit three across. What I had trouble with was finding a rear-facing convertible seat (the Costco one from Target did fit) that didn't butt up against the seat in front of it when in the rear-facing position. Because there should be space between the rear-facing seat and the seat in front, it took a few tries to find one that worked.
As far as the stroller, here was my solution...I purchased a used double stroller with a toddler jumpseat. If I have an infant, I wear the baby and put the youngest 2-3 in the stroller. I had a 2 year old at the time that was a pokey walker. Because I needed my hands to push and steer the stroller, I wasn't able to easily encourage the 2 year old to walk at our pace (which mind you, was quite leisurely). So I took a long silk scarf from our dress-up clothes and tied it to the side of the stroller. She keeps up because she is holding onto the scarf. I also don't have to worry too much because she won't fall behind or wander.
Sorry this is so long, but it worked really well for the entire school year and I'm quite proud of my child care train! That's a young 2 and toddler in the stroller. A young 2 in the jumpseat. I'm wearing an infant in a Baby Bjorn, and there is an older 2 year old walking holding on to the scarf. Finally I had one or two 4 year olds walking. They know the drill, so I never have trouble. On the sidewalk they get to run ahead to some sort of obstacle and stop until I get close and yell out the next obstacle. We crossed at a school crossing. We did this for a year while picking up my son from kindergarten. Whew!Comment

I have the six kid angels stroller. I have 4 walkers holding straps I attached to the stroller. It works for us.Comment

Wonderful- thank you all! I feel much less anxious about this. Hoping the transition to my daughter going to pre-k will not be as hard logistically as I think!!! Emotionally, that's another story.
