Faith Hill: To Stroller or Not to Stroller?
Country crooner Faith Hill and hubby Tim McGraw take their three daughters — Gracie, 10, Maggie, 8 1/2, and Audrey, 5 1/2 — for a walk around the Yorkville neighborhood of Toronto, Canada on Sunday afternoon.
Faith, 39, and Tim, 40, grabbed Starbucks for the whole family and also brought along one of their pet pooches, Patio. Faith seems to be eating a granola or cereal bar…
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Faith’s daughter Audrey using a stroller at the age of almost 6? Most children are weaned off using a stroller at the age of 4.

I’m not gonna lie I think it’s kinda wierd
Unless she’s physically disabled, in which case she should use a wheelchair, it’s very weird and babyish.
Ya, I’m a HUGE Tim and Faith fan, but at her age, its getting to be to old. Also, the dog’s name is Patio. Both Tim and Faith were interviewed in Redbook, and they mentioned the dog.
Any parent that has taken a child on vacation
either uses a stroller for younger children
or wishes they had one when walking is
involved.
What is a five 1/2 year old doing in a stroller?
My kids were out of the stroller by four. and that was pushing it.
Unless the girl has a disability ..there is no cll for her to be in that stroller. At which case there are stroller for kids with disabilities that would best suit her.
Kids get tired, who cares if they still have a stroller to use.
Thanks, Jessica!!
Thats is just so ridiculous for a child that big to be in a stroller. I can’t believe these people.
My children were walking around at Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, when they were 2 years old. They would not have allowed be to put them in a stroller.
Wasn’t Audrey the one that had health problems at birth? They almost lost her? She could also be under the weather and they are just borrowing the stroller. Come on, quit being so critical. I’m sure none of you would want someone telling you what to do with your kids.
There have been plenty of times when on vacation, yes even at Disneyland, that I have had to RENT a stroller because my 5 year old nephew couldn’t walk anymore. After a break by being pushed he would get his second wind back and would walk just like the rest of us. Frankly, critiquing other people’s parenting based upon A PHOTOGRAPH is unseemly.
hmmmm, almost six and in a stroller? it is weird and yet if i had a kid and was walking all around town would i want to hear whining because they are tired of walking? probably not.
Jesus people get a grip, it’s a stroller, who cares, the kid’s probably tired. Most kids that age do get tired of walking at some point.
It was really hot here in Toronto yesterday. Kids can easily get tired in the heat and some may have lower tolerance for heat exhaustion than others.
We aren’t ctitiquing, it asked us a question and we are giving our opinions, and nobody said anything about their parenting skills. Geez, calm down.
While I am a JJ junkie, I don’t usually post comments. But, I’ve gotta say, it’s a very unfair question to ask. Audrey was born 2 months premature, and was less than 4lbs at birth. While I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with her now, we don’t know the full story, let’s not judge their use of a stroller. It’s like when you see healthy looking people using a handicap decal, you just don’t know. You don’t have to have a limp, or another obvious disability to get one.
She’s 5 1/2 in a stroller drinking a Starbucks! That kid’s already messed up!
Sorry Jared, but its way to odd. I mean, its not even as if the parents have a baby and the 6 year old climbed in messing around. She is way way to big for this.
I realy wouldnt want to be 6 and be seen pushed in a stroller. I remember that age, and yes, kids would most definitly have made fun of me for that.
That is beyond the beyonds!And dare I say, a tad creepy. If the child tires after a while, take a time out. Installing a child that age and size in a stroller invites speculation as to delayed development of whatever variety. It’s good for kids to walk. Period.
And now I’m thinking “Is it still on the bottle? Toilet trained?”.
when audrey was born she was premature and has some motor difficulties, not severe but she may not be able to walk for a long period of time.
My guess is that she is so spoiled and if she doesn’t get her way - she wines, and throws a fit. It probably saves everyone the stress of hearing her cry if they just stick her in the stroller and can enjoy their day. Kids that age get tired of walking around within 20 minutes.
OMG. Its beyond the beyonds? And creepy. Wow, I would really like to know how you came up with that. Like tee said, she WAS premature. And they did have a lot of problems when she was first born. haven’t you noticed the other picture they have put up, seems to me she does know how to walk. And how in the hell do you get on about is IT on a bottle? Apparently you need to check your eyesight because it’s pretty obvious IT is a girl. Seriously, do you even have kids though?
It’s just plain weird. The kid can walk and if she doesn’t want to then make her. Poor kid is gonna go to school and be teased when her classmates find out about that.
She`s almost 6 and assuming there`s everything okay with her health etc then its strange and to say it`s totally normal is also weird. Children get tired but using a stroller for 6-year-old?!? First grade, second grade, third grade…and she gets tired - still use sroller?
Assuming this child is healthy with no disabilities:
That’s just ridiculous! She doesnt even look comfortable! I saw a 7 year old in a stroller a few weeks ago in the train and it made me mad. It was taking up room and there was nothing (as far as I could tell) wrong with this kid. The stroller was an infant stroller and it was taking up room.
Let the child walk, they can use the excerise.
Who cares? She’s not my kid. She’s not your kid. If they wanna take a stroller, that’s their problem. I really don’t understand why this would upset people.
What is Faith holding in the first picture?
I THINK it’s a cereal bar or granola bar. She probably picked it up at Starbucks too…
Definitely weird, sort of like carrying your 3 and 4 year olds everywhere like they can’t walk….see Jolie-Pitts.
Yikes, very weird!
I use one with my son who’s that age if I dare take him to the mall, it’s more for my convince then something he wants. I know where he is at all times and I don’t end up carrying him when he gets tired. At Disneyland it was a must. But I do get people making comments about it every time I do it.
I think 5 1/2 is too old. Most 2 and 3 year old’s I know won’t even sit in a stroller. They want to be out and walking. Guess the lazy genes kick in around 5. That being said, I’d rather push a 5 year old in a stroller than carry her. If it were me, I’d make sure to not have a stroller and then make the kid walk.
they didn’t want to have to carry the child, might cramp their style. not upset by it, just think it’s ridicuous.
It is perfectly normal. Would anybody have a problem if she was pulled in a kids wagon, no. The little girl is only 5, and little legs get tired after awhile. My 6yr old still get pulled in a wagon by the end of a busy day at the amusment park, and trust me strolers are easier to push then pulling a wagon. Why do people what kids to grow up so fast now days.
So what?? It’s their business not mine or yours..
yeh it’s ridiculous. Making a very lazy child. My 22month old walks EVERYWHERE now, he refuses to be carried or get in a stroller. He walks miles.
Sheesh everyone. Maybe they usually do let the kid walk, but took it because they knew they would be walking a lot. Maybe the kid wasn’t feeling that well…
Hell, we don’t even know if they use it ALL the time for her. (because if they do use it all the time, then that is a bit odd!)
Who cares!!! It’s not any more weird than all those fat asses on scooters at Disney World.
My guess is all those who are willing to criticize don’t have children. I took my two girls, ages 2.5 and 6 to NYC for a week and was thanking the good lord I had borrowed a stroller just in case the 6 year old got tired. After 1 day and 60+ blocks her legs were tired and I don’t think I could have handled another day of her whining about her legs. As a parent I know not to criticize other parents because I know I’d be ticked as sh** if someone were to say something to me about how I raise my kids.
I took my 2 nieces(7&5 years old) to Disneyland this Christmas and a stroller was a lifesaver. First thing is it was a lot safer to put the girls in the stroller than fight the crowds and pulls their little arms out of there sockets because people do not care who they step on. Also it kept them in a much better mood because they were not as tired. That said using a stroller on a daily basis for children this age is ridiculus.
haha Jeanne! exactly!!
I’m so tired of these hypocrites. Those fat people at Disney who troll around in wheel chairs b/c they are morbidly obese. Ridic. I bet if Angie was strolling any of her kids around this board would totally condone it.
they brought the dog with them. they are strolling around the neighbourhood. so they are not walking 60+ blocks with their kids for whatever reason and it doesn’t look like they are spending a whole day in disneyland.
There’s nothing wrong with a 6-year old being in a stroller if you want to raise a LAZY, FAT CHILD!! Get that damn child OUT OF THAT ******* STROLLER STAT! That’s the big problem I have with society today - far too often, parents are enabling their kids to be lazy, entitled, spoiled, whiney BRATS.
For the love of god, children in other parts of the world can walk miles by the time they’re 5 - walking around an amusement park is not ******* torture (and if they get tired - then stop and let them rest for a minute, get something to eat or some water or plan your day accordingly).
I would use one with my 6 year old if she still fits and if we going somewhere and I knew she would be out during her naptime. I would not want to carry her. Nothing wrong with. Not going to hurt the child.

One of the most intelligent things said today. =)
Yea, that whole family is just a bunch of fat asses, right? NOT. God, you seem to have a big FAT mouth. Judging everybody on things you seem to know NOTHING about.
Ok, I have seen pics of this family before and the child was in a stroller then too. I do think there may be some health problems with Audrey that they just aren’t making public. Who cares though. Maybe they find it would be more embarrassing to push her around in a wheelchair. Either way, it is noone’s place to judge another person’s parenting skills. PERIOD.
I don’t think it’s that weird. We can’t really judge anyone else’s parenting skills.
Besides, if I was a celebrity walking around in today’s celebrity-crazed world, I would do anything to keep my children safe from the paparazzi.
Before you even asked I kept rereading those ages. I was trying to figure out when she had her last baby.
That is too old.
Maybe she had been recently injured and they pulled it out. But, otherwise she needs to be walking.
i wonder what those who say it’s perfectly normal to do this would say if they saw maddox being pushed around in a stroller…. and yeah, faith hill is totally the kind of celebrity who would mobbed by paparazzi. :roll: unless the child is crippled in some way, she should walk.
My daughter was 6 and 1/2 when we went to disney and we used a stroller. You don’t know this child, like our daughter she may get very tired easily or get horrible leg cramps. I don’t think its wierd at all. It is also a good way to keep track of a child in a large crowd. My daughter is now 7 yrs old and we still carry her sometimes when we are out, she is our baby of the family and we just enjoy holding her. she is a very normal little 7 yr old too.
Oh the humanity!
The world will end!
I can’t believe I wasted my time reading the comments of a bunch of uneducated idiots.
First–
this is no one’s business, & who the crap cares if a 6 year old is in a stroller - even if he/she is “normal”, handicapped, blue, black, fat, spoiled, or whatever. The fact is, IF THE KID IS IN THE STROLLER — THERE IS A REASON FOR IT.
Second–
I can’t believe how many people assume there is nothing wrong with the child. Just because “we” don’t know about it, doesn’t mean there isn’t some type of health problem, or developmental delay.
I have a 6 year old & he rides in a stroller. Alert the media!
jesus.
My son was born 4 months premature. He weighed ONE POUND 1 OUNCE. He was on a respirator for 4 months, oxygen 24 hours a day for 3 years, and is on oxygen as needed still at 6 years old.
BREATHING PROBLEMS ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH PREEMIES. If he walks very much he needs oxygen, so it’s safer to be pushed in a stroller versus die from lack of oxygen. (and for those comments- a stroller is cheaper (& therefore easier) by the way than purchasing a wheelchair or other device for the handicapped).
My son is also developmentally delayed, and autistic. So the stroller is also for his personal safety. He has no concept of danger and thinks it’s “fun to get squooshed by a car”. If you do not have a death grip on his arm he is gone. DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS ARE ALSO VERY COMMON WITH PREEMIES.
He does still wear a diaper, and needs help when eating and drinking.
My son LOOKS COMPLETELY NORMAL and in fact has skyrocketed in height, making him tall for his age. Most people can’t tell there’s anything wrong by just looking.
I am so sick and tired of people who feel it necessary to tell me how they feel about what they see my son doing/or what they see me doing with him. “isn’t he too old to be in a stroller” “isn’t he too old to be wearing diapers” blah blah blah….
What makes everyone think they have the right to criticize without knowing more of the story. I’m to the point of- what even gives someone the right to ask at all (I would NEVER go up to a stranger and question them about their child!). It’s none of your business. And all the looks, comments, and speculation make a difficult situation even harder. I’m already stressed when I walk out the door with my son, anticipating not only what he’ll do/say or what will happen to him, but also what some jack*** on the street will say to me. Sometimes I feel like wearing a tshirt that says
—
he’s 6
he was severely premature
he is developmentally delayed
he’s autistic
he’s special needs
& keep your comments to yourself because i’m a very tired single parent and could possibly lunge at the throat of the next person that criticizes my child….
—
& for the record, just in case the level of uneducation runs even thicker around here than I anticipate—- no I never did drugs or drank or did anything to compromise my pregnancy and end up with a disabled micro preemie. My body rejected the “fetus” like it would the flu or something foreign - and they had to do an emergency c-section because we were both dying.
Parenting is hard enough. How about you all listen to what your parents should have taught you –
“if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all”…
There’s a reason for everything. Just because that reason is blatantly apparent to YOU, does not mean it isn’t valid.
Oh and if the kid is “normal” and in the stroller: WHO CARES! If she doesn’t want to walk- and wants to ride for whatever reason- I’d rather toss her in the stroller and actually enjoy the walk with the family than have to carry her or let a whiney kid ruin it or cut it short for everyone. As a parent it’s all about picking your battles. Those of you that claim to be parents and still criticize on here should know that. Perhaps this wasn’t a battle they felt like fighting, who cares- it’s their battle & therefore their choice.
just because the reason **ISN’T** blatantly apparent to you, does not mean it isn’t valid.
typo
I think you should leave this family alone, they live in such a distant place and do not deserve to be disturbed.
You don’t know anything about this particular walk, and yet you’re all so quick to judge. The child may not be able to take the heat, she may get very tired, you just don’t know.
And DirtyDenise, your children may be good walkers, but I sure hope they don’t learn any grammar from mum.
Not quite as funny when it’s your family getting the criticism, is it.
You sound like an exhausted single parent. It’s good that you let it out like that but maybe here isn’t the best place to rant. No one is judging your parenting skills here or your child. You are not under attack. Don’t need to get defensive and call people names.
Nice to see a picture of the kids and family out and about. I like Faith and Tim. Who cares if the younger one is in a stroller. Remember there is a picture of her walking. The girls are cute.
What the hell is going on! That’s so weird, who does that these days. I have to admit it looks really funny and stupid at the same time. Well in Faith’s eyes her girl is still a baby. Haha
Will the people who are complaining get over it already? So, shes in a Stroller who cares, wouldnt yall like it if they made STROLLERS for older peeps? They are FAMOUS but man, let them be HUMANS too, if they wanna put any of there kids or dog in a stroller they have the right, so just leave them alone and let them be…All the complaining people are just jealous of them, so like i said GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!
Wow, the girls are so big. Its nice to see them since they aren’t photographed often. Gracie looks a lot like her Dad while Maggie and Audrey look like their Mom. And yeah, the stroller pic is a bit odd- BUT if I remember correctly, Audrey was born a bit early so maybe she can’t walk a whole lot. Who knows? It’s easier to judge when they aren’t your kids.
I don’t particulary care one way or the other whether the kid’s in a stroller or not, but the particular stroller she’s in is clearly entirely too small. That cannot be comforable.
Why is this even is an issue. They are the parents and everyone else is not!
Who cares if she is in the stroller? I don’t see what the big deal is. Maybe they just don’t feel like listening to her whine about being tired.
I was glad that Brea said what she said. People may not see the disability, just because it isn’t seen, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. My son is also autistic and I relate to Brea in the looks and criticism and such. Who cares if she is in a stroller, it’s their life… they can do what they want.
If you’re on vacation a 5 year old is going to get too exhausted doing all the walking that grown-ups and older children can do; especially when Crocs are involved. Great shoes, little support. Last summer my 5 year old got a nasty case of shin splints from walking many blocks in NYC.
Who cares! You do what you have to do for your own kids.
Real nice. Most of the comments are along the line of ‘My child wouldnt have been allowed to use a stroller at that age’. Why not? Is there a law Ive missed here about the ‘proper’ age strollers should be giving the boot?
Good for all the parents who can proudly say their little tots could walk around Disneyland by themselves and Congratulations to the comments about how their little ones pushed the strollers by themselves at 4 - I hope you feel good about yourselves and the fact that your children are ‘all the better for it’. Maybe it will accelerate their growth and strengthen their legs and propel them towards adulthood in a proper and orderly fashion. Go SOCIETY!. We wouldnt want to bring up a lazy child now would we? God forbid.
If a parent puts their child in a stroller, isnt that your own choice? Do we have to give a reason? You would certainly think so according to all the ‘good parents’ here.
No, calm down, Im not calling ANYONE a bad parent, we are all good parents and we all have our own kooky ways that in the end, make our children unique and special.
But when most (note I didnt say all, put the angry reply aside for a second)parents whilst will complain about the kids being in a stroller, then feed them french fries, coke/cordial/sugery crap, fast food or let them park their backsides in front of the telly for god knows how long - Ill take the stroller over that ANYDAY.
she is way too old to be sitting in that thing.
I dont think it’s weird that she is 5 1/2 and in a stoller. to be honest i was actually more shocked about a 5 1/2 yr old drinking a starbucks frapachino, than i was the stroll. but neither i think is weird…
their children are adorable though, and they have gotten soo big since i have seen them last! :D
Why is it that I am the only one that finds it odd that in one picture they are walking and there is no stroller in sight and then all the sudden Audrey is in a stroller. My very first thought was they must be out with somebody else who has a child (for example Lori McKenna or the Warren Brothers who are 2 of their opening acts both have young children) and that child got out of the stroller and Audrey decided it would be fun to jump in the stroller and Gracie started pushing her. I have know many children that would jump in a stroller that belonged to a younger sibling/cousin/friend and be pushed around for a min. Why are we so quick to judge one moment of somebody else’s life when we have no idea what went out around that moment.
First of all, yes Tim and Faith are the parents and it is their business if their child is in the stroller or not. However, I do get the impression that she is ver spoiled. If you read any of their interviews or magizine articles, she is the one they talk about the most. Well, they talk about Gracie alot too, but they talk about Audrey the most. I have noticed that neither of them ever mention Maggie and in ALL of the pictures I have seen of the family she is excluded in some way and she is NEVER near Tim! I have heard others talk about this too. In Redbook Tim and Faith both talked about Gracie and Audrey and neither mentioned Maggie. I think Audrey is the spoiled one (probably because she is the youngest and had health problems when she was an infant) and Tim and Maggie don’t have much of a bond (because I have NEVER heard him talk about her but I have OCCASIONALLY heard Faith mention her). I know Everyone is going to get all upset over this, but find me proof that I am wrong and I will change my opinion!
Wasn’t the youngest born early with complications? Maybe she tires easily, but is too big to be carried. Why does anyone care if she’s in a stroller anyway??
I have notice Audrey being the spoiled one too. I have read of Faith saying that the only thing Tim would not do with the girls is wash Audrey’s hair, because she throws such a fit over it. etc. Also, I have read where Tim does stuff like coaches Gracie’s basketball and softball team, but I haven’t read too much about Maggie either! I wonder why they don’t talk as much about Maggie!
Okay, I’m 22 and sometimes walking around, I wish I had a stroller to sit in! Seriously people. They are not your kids, who cares! It’s not like she is 5 years old and still sucking on a pacifier or drinking from a bottle or something.

I’ve read various interviews of Tim and Faith, and they always refer to her as the outdoorsy girl. Also, a few weeks ago, Faith did an interview on CMT and it talked about Maggie getting something in her hair or something like that, anyways, Faith said she was about to cry cuz her hair was so long, and Tim had to cut it out. Faith also mentioned that Maggie thought it was the coolest thing, having her dad cut her hair. So, she does get mentioned. I’m sure they love her just as much as the other girls.
Ugh, I don’t like Faith Hill. In interviews she comes off as arrogant to me. I don’t know much about her or her family, but in interviews she rubs me the wrong way. Then there was that whole hilarious Carrie Underwood incident. WHAT?! Haha. Anyway, I noticed how someone was like, “why do you want kids to grow up so fast these days.” I have the opposite perspective. I think that these days, kids are staying kids for too long and don’t want to grow up (or don’t really know how to.) And parents don’t want them to grow up either, because admitting that means recognizing their own aging and the fact that their kids don’t need them as much. Although I don’t know the circumstances surrounding this photo, I do know that no kid that’s almost 6 should be in a stroller regularly. That situation indicates someone who is unwilling to let their kid grow up. Parents often have difficulty letting the youngest child grow up; they baby them as long as they possibly can.
Maybe she was tired or had a sore leg.
I know she was born very early and could easily have problems with walking. You never know. I do always see her sitting in Faith’s lap and I have seen pictures of Audrey walking but maybe she can only handle so much. Or, it’s just that..lol They decided to let her ride in the stoller. Don’t think it will make or break anyones day!
At least they are taking care of their kids unlike some other hollywood moms or moms to hollywood kids.
By the way the dog is palio. Nobody looks too happy in this picture.probably because they are tired of pictures being taken all the time. the stroller being used for a child this age. Tim use to always carry one of the kids on his shoulders. maybe they were not thinking about what others would think, but I guarantee, they will think twice about this the next time they want to use a stroller. It could be that Audrey gets tired real easily and they didn’t want to have to carry her or had no plans to stop anywhere. the fact is that they are a closeknit family and care about spending time with their children and are trying to do right by them.it is not right having a child that age in a stroller, there
must be a health reason for this.She could have kept bothering palio while it was walking, that is possible. Boy, Faith has her hands full, with a dog too. no wonder they decided not to have any more children.
Wow, so many people in here are acting as if Tim and Faith are pushing around Baby Huey in that stroller…LMAO!
Six years old or not, she’s a little girl riding around in a covered stroller on a hot day…go to any theme park in Orlando in the heat of the summer and see how many older kids are pushed around in rented strollers just to save on time and tears.
Before you call Child Protective Services and/or Dr. Phil on the McGraws, consider this…when you’re a parent (and I’m sure many critics here AREN’T), you pick and choose your battles. When you’re on a vacation that involves a lot of walking and you have a small child, you bring a stroller - that’s what smart parents do.
Yeah, heaven forbid there be something ‘wrong’ with this little girl. That would make Tim and Faith less perfect wouldn’t it.
Personally, I dont care if Audrey rides around in a stroller. I’m 29 and if I could still fit in one you can bet your booty I would.
Why do you refer the daughter as only Faith’s? Tim had a role in producing the child too…
Guys, come on. Stop being so judgemental. You have no idea if the kid is sick or disabled. Someone mentioned that the child has difficulties at birth. Maybe she has trouble walking or breathing. I live in Toronto and it’s been 35 degrees celsius (almost 100 F, I beieve) and it’s HOT. Maybe she does need a wheelchair or something and doesn’t want to use one. Can you blame her? Leave the kid alone.
this was posted as a comment on celebritybaby.com
“Ok here is a perfect example of a picture only telling a certain part of a story. We saw them this Sunday. They were not alone. They were with others and they seemed like they were going somewhere (park etc..) They only stopped at Starbucks and the kid that was in the stroller got out and was waiting in line with her parents. The older daughter pushed the stroller as the younger one jumped in for a bit. They were trying on some princess dresses first. She jumped out when they met back up and took the dress off. (it was over her clothes) that is why you see no stroller and no dress in the other pics. They did not seem there to shop as they were all dressed down and this is a very very ritzy high class part of town. There hotel was probably there and they just went past Yorkdale. Did not see them stop to shop.
This was not her stroller she just sat in it to enjoy a drink and a little ride from older sis.
So glad CBB did not post it to rouse up the stroller conflict again as this was not the case.
…. it was and for a very very short time they waited outside of the store. It is a very small store to take a big stroller into. they crossed the street as the intersection was busy lots of walking going on at Yorkville. When the couple came back she hoped right out and took the princess dress off and shoved it under the stroller. Funny how so many conclusions can be drawn from a picture.”
im sure the person who saw them, then posted that wont mind if i post it here.
I think you all need to stop critizing. No one knows why the child is using the stroller. It could be for various reason. A question like the one asked is not fair but saying she is not a good parent and that the child is messed up is not nice. You all came up with all that from one picture of a small child in a stroller?
I have no problem with the stroller issue - Depending on how far they are walking….I know I would like to be able to sit in a stroller sometimes after a long day of walking!! haha
What’s the big deal - Maybe a bigger stroller of some kind would have made her look more comfortable - But to each their own.
If Audrey wants to be in the stroller let her. I wouldnt put up a big fight about it because its not that big of a deal!!! She could be doing a lot worse. I dont see why all of you people are making it seem like she is dumb or spoiled or anything because shes not. If i were Faith or Tim I would not care!!! COME ON AND GET REAL, KIDS GET TIRED WALKING,AND WHEN ITS HOT IT DOESNT HELP. we do not know any health problems she may have. If she has asthma it would be harder on her to walk because of the heat causing her to have problems breathing. she is not our daughter, she is Faiths and Tims so just leave it at that! It is their choice. NOT yours so dont worry about it!!!
one picture is worth a thousand words. I could tell by looking at the other pictures that this child symply climbed in for a short time. you can see she is too big for it. big deal. I do not think their kids are spoiled. they take care of their kids and they only use nannys for short times,like when they have to be someplace without the kids. and many times I have seen pics of them, Audrey was walking. and Tim spends plenty of time with all three of their daughters. they have shared parenting since they started their family. they both have talked about that. she says he does everything she does when she isn’t around. Except of course when she was nursing. I think
the reason why they decided not to have any more kids is because of her health when she had each one, they were all early. She is probably afraid to have anymore and he said he doesn’t want to be 50 and have a ten year old. he does not think it would be fair to the child. so big deal they used a stroller, there are a lot of people who have done that. it is true, if the child has an asthma problem, heat is bad on that, and a stroller would help.
I forgot to mention that they are a very attractive family. the girls are realy adorable. I don’t think either of the girls is spoiled, either.
I totally agree with you Myra. I also love that they take the girls wherever they can with them. They all are adorable and none are spoiled. Tim and Faith would do anything for their daughters and Tim does as much as Faith does. People need to worry about their own lives instead of talking bad about someone elses.
I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. My three-year-old barely needed a pushchair when she was two, and my one-year old is encouraged to walk if she wants to. By the age of 5 1/2 if there is nothing obviously wrong with the child (in which case use a wheelchair) then I think that the parents are just being lazy, taking the easy option trying to always please their child. I’m they are great parents, but babying a child will not help them in the long run.

Ok, first we really don’t know how long the child was in the stroller, so we really can’t judge. Neither do we live with Tim and Faith, so we can’t comment on their parenting (good or bad)! I have noticed Tim’s (not Faith’s) lack of attention toward Maggie, as was mentioned in a couple earlier comment, in pictures and interviews, but like I said we don’t live with them, so we don’t know. I have also heard that Tim and Faith have very respectful kids, from comments from their help, but we don’t live with them so we don’t know. We have heard of Audrey’s health problems at birth, but we don’t know for sure of her current healt (good or bad)!
Who cares, I live in Toronto and apparently they were with other ppl and the stroller was theirs, the littlest on hopped in for a ride with her dress on and hopped out a few minutes later.
Really ppl need to find something more signficant to pass judgement on LOL
I was at both thier concerts in Toronto and they were amazing and it was so adorable when Maggie was on stage singing with Tim.
I don’t think she’s too old for a stroller if they were going to be walking for a long time. I’ve had instances where my 5 year old wanted to sit in an umbrella stroller we were no longer pushing his younger sibling in (we were carrying her) because his legs were tired. I think it looks odd because the stroller is more of what you would use for an infant than for an older child.
there aren’t a lot of pictures taken with the kids, but that does not mean that Tim doesn’t spend enough time with Maggie. He was on cmt insider with her, and she said “last dollar” was not her favorite and Tim was laughing and said she doesn’t like my music and that doesn’t bother him and Faith. I read that maggie enjoys music from plays. Their kids are also into piano playing. they are not pushy parents but encouraging their kids all three of them to go after their dreams. they always talk about being so opposite but they are more alike than they realize. I saw them in Omaha, I was not able to see the kis though, they were not out during that show, but the show was still AMAZING. THE HOTTEST ONE THEY HAVE HAD.

BY THE WAY, PANDORA, I HEARD THAT ALL THE KIDS WERE POTTY TRAINED EARLY, SINCE THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THE ROAD. GRACIE AND MAGGIE WERE EARLY AT WALKING AND TALKING AND GRACIE WAS POTTY TRAINED BY THE AGE OF 2. I THINK THAT IS PRETTY DARN GOOD. IN OUR AREA DAYCARE WILL ONLY TAKE CHILDREN WHO ARE TRAINED BY THE AGE OF TWO. I HONESTLY THINK THAT IS PRETTY EARLY, BUT IF SOME CAN DO IT, MORE POWER TO THEM. AS FAR AS THE STROLLER GOES, SHE WAS ONLY IN IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. PAPARAZI HAD A FIELD DAY WITH HIS ONE!
Honestly, why does it matter if she is disabled or not, maybe she is and they don’t want it to be public knowledge whether or not she is, and what if she just has an issue with walking for a long period of time? I mean come on, she is 5 1/2 and in a stroller, it isn’t like she was breast feeding a 5 year old in public or anything, it is a freaking stroller
If you don’t know what happened before and after the photos were taken people shouldn’t be commenting. Like I said on the other site I am sure Tim and Faith know whats is best for their children. And really has anyone with small children walked around a big city like Toronto. I have, its hard on the parents and the child. This heat doesn’t help matters.
Brea,
My child is also Autistic and sister, I know where you are coming from. You were NOT “ranting,” but if want to chat with a single Mom doing this alone too…julyruby1970@yahoo.com Bless you and yours.
Everyone that is condemning Faith and Tim…small, shallow minds ridicule others without the benefit of knowing all of the facts. we do not know for sure what is going on with Audrey, but if you have healthy, vibrant kids with boundless energy and no limitations, THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS, thank God, thank whatever higher power you believe in or don’t.
And while you are at it, google “Welcome to Holland” and have a little, just a little, humanity.
Imagine what our world would be like with less contempt and more compassion…
My kids Mommy
djs and any other parents with children with health challenges, I include you in the above post…prayers to all.
I am thirty years old and sometimes wish someone would let me ride in a stroller. Who cares why she is in it. Its none of our business and as long as she is fed, clothed and has a place to lay her head at night, then Tim and Faith and doing a fine job.
My nephew is 7 and I bought a double stroller specifically for my 3 year old daughter and him. We don’t know how much walking they are doing for one. Kids get tired and some tend to whine. Everyone has there reasons for strollers. for one my nephew does not sit in it all the time, but it is very helpful shopping and in busy places. Especially if they need to get some where quick. My daughter is adopted and her bio parents did try to kidnap her. She is ALWAYS buckled in her stroller when I don’t have enough people to watch. they have three children and are very high profile. they can keep there eyes on the other two while pushing her. I am sure they have reasons for this. I don’t think we need to jump to the conclusion they have a lazy daughter or she is disabled. That’s my 10 cents =)
What’s the big deal people, I am 22 and I get tired of walking to, she is only 5 and its eaiser to just put them in the stroller so they wont run off. So lay off Faith and Tim. Its not like all of you people are perfect parents.
This is such a ridiculous thing to even try to comment on based on a picture. I have one son who is 15 now and remember when he was little and how easy it is for other people to critique our parenting skills.
I’m just really disgusted right now with how easy it is for some of you to pass judgement on others.
First of all, pictures of celebrities with their kids in a private situation being published appalls me. We live in a very sad time.
Look, she was premature weighing only 3 Ibs 11 ozs. measuring 17 inches in length. Maybe she has a disability, maybe she doesn’t. It’s no one’s bizs but their’s. At least their happy and seemingly healthy. I probally wouldn’t let my 5 1/2 yr. old daughter ride in a stroller but that’s their child not mine.
If anyone has more pictures of their kids please e-mail me at:

There is nothing wrong if a child wants to ride in a stroller. Children do get tired, at 9 or 10 I sufferred from aching legs and cramps and would have jumped at the opportunity of a ride in one.
Even young teens can beifit from a sit down or ride in a stroller and many do so when their siblings vacate it.
For long walks a stroller can also double up for carrying bags and surplus clothes. I say always take a stroller on long walks and let your kids use it when they want to. They are never too old to rest their legs.
If it’s a agressive stroller, better watch out..(it may have a bad temper)
If it’s a friendly stroller, it’s ok
Here’s a thought…. Maybe Faith Hill should take some time off from running around and eating out with her husband, and talking about her personal experiences to spend some time with her kids. Notice that you haven’t saw a pic of her with them since this? It is always ONLY her and Tim, the kids are never included. She says the same things about them everytime she is asked…. like she probably doesn’t know much more about their lives. Let’s compare…. You have Angelina and Brad Pitt who are rarely photographed without their kids and you have Tim and Faith who are only photographed with their kids about once every couple of years….Is there even a comparison as to which parents are better?!?
Who cares? Seriously, When I was younger and we had to walk around town all day for errands or whatever, IT SUCKED!!! I got tired and didnt want to walk - this is actually a GOOD IDEA!!!
Josh
come on ppl give them a break im not syaing this to every one because i agree with some ppl in here kids do get tired of walking after a while and prahaps they had been walking round for a few hours and she was getting tired so her parents hired out a strole in stead of going back to where they were staying because the little girl was tired of walking or somthing its not that unsual ive een it happen alot especical when people are are on holiday or at the beach for a day out
U NO WHAT? I THINK FAITH AND TIM DO A GOOD JOB AT PARENTING, SO ALL U HATERZ SHUT THE HELL UP OK?
AND WHO REALLY CARES IF AUDREY IS IN A STROLLER THATS THEIR CHILD NOT OURS MAYBE SHE JUST WANTED A JOY RIDE FROM SIS PLZ LETS JUST ALL LEAVE THEM ALONE OK?
-COURTNEY,DANELLE (TIM MCGRAWS #1 FAN) AND FAITH LOL
Well, I was using a stroller in Disneyland when I was 6. But that’s cause I got really tired really easily. And I got lost the first day….
I have followed Faith throughout her career and I’m sure if she seen any of the comments on here she would be appauled at some of them. Audrey was premature and because of that, I’m sure she probably tires more easily than most children her age. There is nothing wrong with them pushing her around in a stroller at that age. Especially if they were walking a lot that day.
Get a grip people, she’s a child and her mom and dad were just trying to make her more comfortable.
I see nothing wrong with it. If they were doing a lot of walking and she tires easily - it makes her comfortable. If I remember correctly, she was premature and very sickly when she was born. So there may we reasons for using the stroller.
Also strollers are easier to manipulate than wheelchairs and more comfortable. I know because my niece is disabled.
