Initially, when we were still in the car, Papa and Mommy didn't want Juan Or to ride on those kiddy rides in The Store because we knew Juan Or would protest strongly when we wanted to remove him. However, once there, after imagining just how cute Juan Or looks in those kiddy machines, we decided to let Juan Or sit in one. Of course, we did not put any coins, but Juan Or still seemed to enjoy sitting in there (a low back car).

Then we shifted Juan Or into another kiddy machine, this time was a police motorbike. During the shifting process, Juan Or showed some resistance, but eventually he cooled down when he landed on the other kiddy machine.

Then we decided to let him try sitting in other kiddy machines of other shapes whice are found at the other end of the supermarket. So the next one was a helicopter and then finally to an aeroplane (to which Papa and Mommy decided to put in coins to enhance his experience!).

("Hey! I want to ride on the aeroplane one!")
When the aeroplane started to move, Juan Or seemed bewildered. He must be thinking why his vehicle moved by itself! Look at how Juan Or reacted when the aeroplane started moving:
In all the shifting process from one machine to another, Juan Or did not show any resistance. Even after the moving aeroplane experience, Juan Or did not show any resistance when Mommy lifted him out. So Mommy considers this a serendipity tip - a tip which Mommy found by accident - what to do if your kid refuses to let go of kiddy rides and you don't want your kid to kick up any fuss. Of course, the most common approach by most parents is to distract the kid with something else and eventually the kid forgets about the kiddy ride. However, Mommy discovered that if you shift your kid from one kiddy machine to another to another to another, eventually the kid will think that whenever you lift him out from the machine, you will put him in another......until finally you lift him out and continue walking and walking and walking, your kid will think that you are walking to another kiddy machine somewhere in the supermarket. And along the way, when your kid saw something else, eventually he forgets about the kiddy machine! Voila! No fuss! But of course, for this trick to work, you need to make sure the supermarket has several kiddy machines within the same vicinity.
How about other daddies and mommies out there? How do you handle such situation when your kid refuses to let go of kiddy rides?
