I took a gimmick idea from an addon and would like to expand on it with 2 things.
It was making wardens tameable and rideable, as well as able to have a baby.

The problem I found out is the baby may never grow up.
While figuring out how to let the baby grow into an tamed warden, I had a thought of having a tamed warden pick up a baby and then carrying them until the baby grows up (thus forced to dismount).

This is strictly meant for private use for myself and friends. And I am not sure how to go about this exactly.

🔹 Is there a way to include an event for the baby to grow up? (similar to most passive mobs such as horses with an item to speed up growth?)
🔹 Is there a way for a tamed warden to have a behaviour to go to a baby and automatically pick them up? (the baby may not need to share a behaviour and the idea of the adult chasing down a baby to pick up is adorable).
🔹 Thinking ahead to avoid the baby growing up and the adult is stuck riding another warden. Should the grow up event include a component that would force the warden to dismount? (if it happens to be riding another warden at the time) And thus prevent wardens inadvertently riding each other.

So far, borrowing parrots' riding player is a no go. Because I dont think it could distinguish a baby from an adult warden.
And using a strider's jockey code seems promising, I dont know how the baby can interact with a parent to ride them.

Not to mention prevent a player from riding a warden that is riding a baby.

All in all, I'll take this as a valuable lesson on having an idea vs coding said idea into minecraft. 💀

I'm trying to do something similar for a Koala entity that I'm making for my daughter. I think I can help you with 1 and 2, but I don't know how to force a grown baby to dismount.

To make a baby grow up, you can use:

"minecraft:ageable": {
                    "duration": 1200,
                    "feed_items": "rhodes:eucalyptus",
                    "grow_up": {
                        "event": "minecraft:ageable_grow_up",
                        "target": "self"
                    }
                },

Then in the event, add or remove the component groups. I used the cow example to learn from.

To have the adult "pick up" a baby, you can use the rideable behavior with pull_in_entities set to true:

"minecraft:rideable": {
                    "seat_count": 1,
                    "family_types": [
                        "rhodes:koala"
                    ],
                    "pull_in_entities": true,
                    "seats": {
                        "position": [
                            0.0,
                            1.0,
                            0.5
                        ],
                        "lock_rider_rotation": 181,
                        "rotate_rider_by": 0
                    }
                }

Otherwise, just have your baby's component group have a find_mount behavior:

"minecraft:behavior.find_mount": {
                    "priority": 1,
                    "within_radius": 16,
                    "start_delay": 5,
                    "max_failed_attempts": 20
                }

The problem I'm having with getting a grown baby to dismount is that removing the find mount behavior does not cause a dismount. I've considered removing the rideable behavior from the parent, but that doesn't seem ideal. I really would like the minecraft:ageable_grow_up be able to target multiple entities (self and parent) so that I can handle both cases, but I don't think that's possible.

Did you try using family types?

#

Once the baby grows up

#

So that it is not listed in the families allowed to ride
