How to Bring and Pick Up Three Kids to and from Daycare

We don't have a car, nor would I drive if we did (I have a license but have never driven after getting it). This means that, wherever we go, we either walk, bike or take public transportation (which is great in Berlin). The distances to school / kindergarden (in one building), stores and friends are usually so short that it's easiest to walk. As our school / kindergarden are literally across the street, I don't even take the buggy for the youngest of our three (I try go get our kids to walk as much as possible on their own, the girls stopped using the buggy at 2 years). When our smallest was a baby, and it was winter, this meant that I not only carried the baby, but also all extra clothes, bags etc for the girls. I was one ridiculous-looking bag woman then. Things are now easier, as our eldest has a backpack and goes to class herself, and the youngest walks. But I nevertheless face one logistical challenge, which is that all three kids have different pick-up times, at least until our youngest has settled in properly and all school activities get going for the year (we have great afternoon clubs at school, so I don't need to take three kids to three different hobbies elsewhere). At least the distance is as short as it gets, and soon at least our eldest (6) can come home alone. With small kids, repeating the mantra "things will get easier" helps - and is at least in some respects true.
