what if you have a baby (or two) and a toddler? Not enough hands to go around....

British streets are very different from American streets, it really isn't necessary here for the most part. I don't know about Aussie streets, but I'm going to guess they're more like American ones than British ones. I was kind of shocked/horrified that here they will push 3-year-olds who are perfectly capable of walking in a stroller. Especially when they rarely walk any notable distance. I guess it overcome the need for a leash, though. potty training is also much later here. There's no right or wrong, just cultural differences.
