[blparent] taking a baby some where (wagons)

[Eva Adams]

Hey Melissa,
I was wondering what kind of wagon you have, and what does it look like? My 
daughter doesn't like riding in her stroller anymore, so I was thinking 
about getting a wagon. I am looking for one that would have room for her, 
and some groceries. How do you keep your son in the wagon. I mean do you use 
a leash to make sure that he stays in the wagon, or how do you do this?
