You can actually get away with staying out later when they are "buggy-size" because you can take it with you and they can still sleep (despite the noise etc.). It's when they are that in-between stage I found we were going back to our accomodation earlier, cuz they were too big for the buggy but too small to last til late. Mine are 6 and 9 now though, so they have most certainly outgrown buggies. My daughter (9) sometimes whines cuz she could last a bit longer than my son, but it's one-out all-out I'm afraid.. so we all go back to the accomodation together.
