The backpacks have chest clips so they can't undo them

Like @WhatABore has said, they have a clasp at the front so they cant take them off. Unless they can undo those sorts of clasps? Admittedly MiniGlenCoco was younger when we used ours but i used to tell her she had to hold my hand or else she would get picked up. And she hated being picked up so that worked for us. Now she is 4 and a half, all she wants is to be bloody picked up

If my nearly 2 year old wants to walk, I let her, but as soon as she whinges and asks to carried, she goes back in the pushchair
Same as when my 5yo and 10yo were younger, it was rare they'd ask to be carried but if they did, I'd offer to sit down on a bench before we walk again
I'm just too stubborn
I won't pick her up, I'm not strong enough but she has her dad wrapped round her little finger so she knows he'll put her on his shouldersI'm so, stubborn and refuse to carry

They give in to everything.I won't pick her up, I'm not strong enough but she has her dad wrapped round her little finger so she knows he'll put her on his shoulders
I've always been stubborn with taking them out the trolley seats too if they whinge.
Where as he just takes her out to carry her.
He never did it with the other 2 and they were fine in a seat.
She's awful and I'm pretty sure it's cause he's always got her out!
This is what happens for us too! He’ll always get her out the trolley and now she’s a nightmare, won’t sit in the trolley at all, tries to run around the shop and I can’t actually take her food shopping because it’s too stressful
This happens for us too! I just let him get on with it and he can deal with the fall out
whereas with me she knows how far she can push
I’m so shocked at the fees you’re all paying for your children to go to nursery.
my son goes 4 hours on a Tuesday morning, we pay £100 a month. We are waiting until he has his free 30 hours before we increase to a full day. I’m so confused by it all.
So what does supplements mean? Is that like lunch and dinner etc?

Usually things if they provide snack, nappies, drinks ect
I got a letter yesterday and it says full days are now going to cost £52
from £48 which is an extra £8 a week / £32 a month .. I get the increase as everything is going up including their wages/cost of food etc 
We quoted the twins going to nursery recently, we were looking at £600+ a week for them both.
I wouldn't mind paying thay tbh if they paid their staff a reasonable living wage and not just above minimum.

That’s still pretty cheap. I pay £63.40 a day per child. So £126.80I got a letter yesterday and it says full days are now going to cost £52
I enquired about a nursery for 1 day a week for the baby and it’s £94 a day. And I have to supply nappies, wipes and bottles
When mine was 2 he did 2 full days and it was £600 a term 
It’s ridiculous

My daughter goes to a childminder 3 days a week. We get the 30 hours funding but split across the whole year, so its about 20.5 hrs a week or something like that. I drop off at 8am and pick up just before 4.30pm so she does a little more than 8 hours a day. We end up paying for about half a day a week and our bill is now just over £100 a month, including all food (I provide nappies and that's it). Some of the amounts you guys are paying makes me 
We got the 30 free hours with MiniGlenCoco for her last year at nursery and we sent her 5 days a week from 8am - 5:45pm throughout the whole year. We thought that the nursery would split it evenly throughout the year which meant we would get 20 something hours every week.
Our monthly amounts were so hit and miss with what they would be. In the winter months we paid between £200-£300. But then in the spring and summer, apparently we had used "too many hours" so our bills were £600-£800.
We ended up pulling her out early because we couldn't afford to keep paying that much.

Thankfully mine goes 9-3 5 days a week at a school based nursery!! I don’t know how we’d afford it otherwise.
I was telling my dad how it works and he said so it’s
Not free at all and I said well no! I certainly can’t afford to just do termtime only and have to find childcare for the 6 weeks off etc, it’s madness! I’m purposely staying part time at work (3 days) when she starts school next year as it’s easier to find 3 days childcare than 5

We will have abit of help but the 6 weeks are gunna be a killer, I’ll take 2 weeks off, her dad will have to and then 2 weeks holiday club

I do think it's just your nursery's policy that seem to do it this way.I was telling my dad how it works and he said so it’s

Is there other nurseries?
Unfortunately it's the joy of being a working parent, something everyone struggles with
