> I had some fights with kids at that age, but it definitely was not every single time we walked. You are exaggerating how bad it is.
Every child is unique. Some are more stubborn than others. This is a challenge with any parenting advice because there is so much variance. My experience is my kids do fight or linger every time despite the routine and nudges.
Sure. But the whole "heh your plan to have daily walks with kids is impossible" is just not true. Families with kids walk to places.
Plus, there are millions of single parents around the world who don't have cars and walk+public transport their kids to daycare daily.

I'm not saying a daily walk is impossible. Rather some will find it easier than others. Still, with two working parents and car focused city planning it can be very challenging to do seemingly trivial things.
What you do is normal at that age. If you walk to store frequently it is normal routine and lead to fights only occasionally. And while kid stops to look at boring things, it is not like they would stop for hours, most of time you nudge them after few seconds and they go.
It is slower then adult speed, but not that impossibly slow.
