You could use the URL rewrite module to redirect to the parent page if you have a pattern you can match on the URLs... Or have a macro/in line logic based on some boolean document parameter on your child pages to redirect to parent if the child page is hit? 

Hi Roald

Another approach could be to set a different template for the child nodes, and let that template redirect to the parent page.

If it's just one level up you can do something like:

var parent = Model.Content.Parent;
if (parent != null)
{
   Response.RedirectPermanent(parent.Url);
}

Cheers,

Thank you for the answers!

I created a short URL check that redirects back to the parent node in case the Request.Url is the same as the URL of the node itself.

Uri umbracoUrl = new Uri(umbraco.library.NiceUrlWithDomain(CurrentPage.Id)).TrimPathEndSlash();
Uri requestUrl = Request.Url.TrimPathEndSlash();

if (Uri.Equals(requestUrl, umbracoUrl))
{
    Response.RedirectPermanent(CurrentPage.Parent.Url);
}

This seems to work perfectly. I am not sure if this will work in all cases, but for now I am satisfied.

is working on a reply...
