how do the parents get exercise in with a 3 yr old? I used to use a stroller, then a push car and she outgrew them both. Looking for ideas, I miss taking long walks!

    Can you put her on your shoulders?

    Have you gotten her on a bike? Once my son got the hang of his little bike (at 3-4), walks became awesome. He was fast and loved being out.

    Get one of those bikes with the long handle on the back end for you to push and she can "ride".

    Balance (pedal-less) bike. My kids (now 4 and 6) could ride one at 2 and could ride a regular bike with no training wheels at 5. They can zip around pretty fast! Just wear closed toed shoes (they drag their feet to stop)

    Oh I lied - my son is 4 and he rides without training wheels now ;)

    I realize it's a little late, but I have a 3 yo and we recently both started ice-skating. Eagan ice arena has the lowest admission rates and great hours for open skating.
