Harper Beckham in a buggy now at 4

Hotgossip · 25/08/15 - 12:14

The other week she was sucking a dummy now she's being pushed round In a buggy!

She looks a big strapping girl for her age and very healthy so why are they treating her like a baby?

I've just spent a few hours mowing grass and weeding so I'm in need of some light entertainment.

Don't tell me, this breaking news and accompanying pap pictures were brought to us by the Daily Fail?

Chief_Wiggum · 25/08/15 - 12:41

Proof?

Why does almost every popular thread on the Showbiz sub forum have to involve the Beckhams in some way?

GracieL · 25/08/15 - 12:58

Omg not another thread about a Beckham offspring.

Look, they were in Disneyland which would be a lot of walking around for a (just) 4 year old and it's also crowded. Plus it's just easier and faster to put her in the push chair.

Strange thread. All kids are different, try carrying a 4 year old who doesn't want to walk then come back and tell me you still don't agree with it.

I believe many Disneyland blogs/websites advocate bringing a buggy for kids under 5. It's a long day for them, lots of walking in the heat, they probably get overexcited and overtired.

Seems like sensible parenting to me. Plus it's not as if you always see Harper in a buggy - I can't remember seeing pics of her in one before now.

The DM and their dedicated readers just love to judge the parenting of celebrities. Unfair and nearly always making a huge fuss over nothing.

Harper Beckham is in a buggy. And.....?

I'm no fan of the Beckhams, as previous posts will attest, but Disneyland is huge and it's tiring for anyone to walk around let alone a four year old. My four year old had a lightweight buggy that lived in our shed and was used only on holiday when we'd be on our feet for long periods, we've only just got rid of it, our holiday next month will be the first without a buggy

If she was at Disneyland thats a lot of walking around for a small kid to be on their feet all day. You can easily get tired.
Whats the problem with a buggy?

aggs · 25/08/15 - 14:49

Frankly, with a 4 year old and a place the size of Disneyland, they'd be bonkers not to use a pushchair.

Anyone who has trailed anywhere with a small child who insists on walking, then gets too tired too soon, then wants carrying, then gets grumpy knows a jolly day out it does not make - and that's before you factor in the eyes in the back of the head alertness you need in a crowded place filled with things to make a small child stop, stare and change direction even if they are in reins.

Heck, I wouldn't turn down a push, let alone a 4 year old!

We recently took our boys to Legoland. We didn't bring a buggy for the 3 year old and the first day was fine. The second day however, he was tired and by the afternoon was crying to be carried and whatnot. When you have children at different stages - our eldest is seven, so queues and walking long distances don't bother him that much - you have to prepare for the little ones getting tired and whingeing, despite the fact they are having a great time.

As for the Beckhams, I do question the use of a dummy so late in the game but they know their child best. And bringing a buggy to a theme park where you plan on staying several hours is the only way to go.

2 years ago I was still putting my 6 year old in a pushchair at times. Once was Colchester Zoo. He has been a big lad for a while and for places like Zoos with a lot of walking involved. It was easier to put a tired 4 year old in a pushchair.

I question the use of the dummy too but a pushchair in a theme park is definitely the way to go.

You should have gone out for lunch instead. Then you could have started a thread in GD about badly behaved children in restaurants.

Giving a 4 year old a dummy sounds a bit weird, but a pushchair at a theme park is a very sensible idea.

I agree, and the buggy would be handy for everything no one wants to carry

No, the next thread is going to be about people who have a compulsion about reading through old posts.

:D:D

This is digusting. With the money the Beckhams have got swilling around, Harper should demand nothing less than his own 1:4 scale Rolls Royce.

grimtales1 · 25/08/15 - 20:52

Harper is a she

Nothing really much wrong with a child under school age being in a buggy if a lot of walking is planned.

The exact same as when I took my pre schools to Disneyland, plus you get on things cheaper

That'll be why they shoved her in a buggy:p;-)

I've just come back from Disneyland Paris and I wish I had a buggy!! Knackered.com. And it's no fun carrying a shattered 6 year old to boot.

Aurora13 · 26/08/15 - 21:54

Don't they hire out carts at Disney land for pushing kids Harper age and older. Seems sensible to take buggy and it can transport other bits and bobs rather than having to carry it. I know many want to criticise Posh and Becks but they do seem to have the kids central to their lives.

Hollie_Louise · 26/08/15 - 22:42

So what? If they want to put their child in a pushchair who is it affecting? If I took my 4 year old nephews to a theme park I'd have them stitched into it

Hey there!
