I once told Daughter that the car wouldn't go if I didn't fasten her car seat and then sat in the driver's seat reading a book in the swimming pool car park until she got bored and told me I could do it up now mummy. But that sort of thing only works with the first one when you have nowhere else you urgently need to be.
I did once sit down on a grass verge and start reading a book when a toddler was refusing to either walk a step further or get into the pushchair as well. Fortunately I had the stubborn and immobile sort rather than the running away sort. And I always had a book.
