I think if you use this option in moderation it is acceptable. I've done it many times, and some people seem to actually enjoy talking to my babies/toddlers as we walk by. Everyone needs to smile now and then, and kids have a way of making people do that - if they are behaving, of course. :) By the way, it's amazing how different a 3 year old is from a 2 year old. You just might be surprised! Have a great trip and come back to let us know how your toddler did and what the passengers thought of your wandering.

I doubht he'll change, and right now he just wants to run around and grab things. Do people think it is acceptable to let kids go for a wander provided they are supervised to some degree? (I'm not talking about letting them run riot, I'd be behind him the whole time). I wouldn't mind personally as I know what its like travelling with kids, but I wouldn't want to be public enemy number one!
