All to take a kiddie for a bit of a walk (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

total

'all' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a kiddie for a bit of a walk' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to take' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for total that I've seen before include "Ruin" , "Including all" , "Absolute; sum" , "French oil and gas company" , "Utter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
