Yes, as a SAHM, I find this ideal. I am fortuante to live in an area that
has lots of boxes and a great group of people willing to place some
kid-friendly ones. My 5yo is my most enthusiastic companion and my 2 yo
just got her own stamp. We started when she was 16 months old. I have used
a combo of stroller, back-pack and letting her walk. I keep her motivated
by playing games along th
e way (great opportunity to learn counting colors, etc) and we always end
with a treat--usually a visit to the park's play area. The biggest
challenge is when I need to go off trail to retreive the box--gotta make
sure hte babe doesn't escape!
What do others do to keep their little ones enthused?

Sorry - what's this abbreviation?
I have a 7 year odl , 4 year old and 2 year old and they're all really into
'boxing. I look for kid-friendly directions - no more than an hour or two
hike, not to steep or strenuous, near other attractions like playground, marsh or
lake or nature center and labor sweatily over how to make this a
tutoring/homeschool lesson, depending on the box. I bring a sling and sometimes a
stroller, depending on the terrain, but the older two walk and I encourage the
youngest to walk. I always plan a lot of time and let the kids set the pace, though
they usually love to run through it and are eager to find the box.
