With car seats you're not supposed to have puffy coats and such on because it makes the straps too loose for safety. With our kiddo, she doesn't wear much and gets in a warmed truck with a blanket over her car seat, so if she were to go play outside afterwards she'd have to get her winter gear on after retuning. For whatever that's worth.
Thanks to those that are local for posting your insights on the area! Arnie, Lori, and anybody I missed.
I have created a map of the area with the Command Center marked, based on this article: https://uicnews.com/2016/03/24/search-continues-for-missing-2-year-old-boy-in-manitoba/

(Notice the creek near the property and the three grain silos that were shown in the media of the press conference.)
Oh still no Chase.
I think the emergency vehicles were moved to an area behind the house because they think he is in the creek. Maybe the dogs followed his scent to that area.
@LoriMcA, Thanks for your insights on farm life. I agree with you, it is normal for children on a farm to be allowed to play outside unsupervised. It's just what they do. It's hard to remember when my two started playing outside without an adult. I think it was when they were about 5 and 6 years old. Before that they didn't really want to be outside without us and simply preferred to be wherever the adults were.
We also had a fenced area that I could see from the kitchen with their play equipment. The reason we put up the fence was to keep the goats off their play things and not necessarily to keep the children confined. Funny how much different our view is compared to people living in more developed areas. However, I can't imagine letting a 2 year old play outside unsupervised. Or, a 2 year old even wanting to play outside alone.
The underwater recovery team concerns me.
Thanks for the link to the presser. While I run the a/c and wear shorts, y'all still have very cold weather and snow.

Thanks for the map Claire! I can't see a press conference link on that uic page...if you have one that would be super awesome to see....I'll keep looking in the meantime!
As far as I know...the command center is at the farm yard ....The farm yard is almost exactly 1 mile west off 34...on Rd 72....
Here is an article with the aerial shot of the yard and their drive...which goes north to Rd 72....they are quite near the bush that is north of the creek....

& here is the yard area circled on the map....the driveway shown in the above article is not completely inside this circle....their lane goes right up to Road 72 ...
