Speaking of Getting Around on Foot with Kids

Do you have a rolling backpack/bag yet? Get one…or three… right away!

After the kiddos outgrew strollers I suddenly had to carry all our necessities, which was most noticeable when coming home from the library!! Even before we were homeschooling, we checked out SO MANY books at every visit, this was us:

A meme featuring the character Chidi from the NBC show "The Good Place" He is standing between library bookcases, behind a rolling cart full of haphazardly placed books, speaking earnestly to someone out of frame. The text is a quote from the show. "What is the maximum number of books I can check out? Is it 12,000?" he asks.

The wonderful thing about rolling backpacks is that even little kids can pull a surprisingly heavy load of books. One mom and two kids, each with a bag, is like 50+ books every time!

I don’t recommend getting the cheapest one you can find, this is an item that will get a tremendous amount of wear. We once bought a brand new, cheap rolling bag that immediately got holes in it on the walk from the store to the train! 😒

How do you manage getting books home from the library? How many do you check out on an average library visit? We’d love to hear your tips in the comments 😃
