Walking with little kids can be difficult, especially if they don't follow the rules (or if there aren't any). I worry when walking with kids that age, even though mine follow the rules, because they are so unpredictable! They could be walking nicely holding the stroller, then see something shiny and dart off to pick it up.

I only have to walk down 2 houses to my daughter's bus stop, but we do not have sidewalks and it stresses me out with the kids! Not just the walk, but then getting them to stand nicely at the corner until the bus comes. For this reason I changed my opening time so I don't have to bring kids. They are too unpredictable for me at this age!

So my point is, if her hands are completely full, holding one child while pushing a stroller, how is she going to stop anyone if they decide to dart off into the busy road?

Then the leaving 2 young kids home? I don't even have to say anything about that.

I would mention something to her like another poster said.
