Our (almost) three year old just fell asleep in the stroller, but thankfully she transferred to bed!
Lately she's been passing out really hard, so as long as we transfer her within 15-20 minutes of falling asleep... she'll transfer just fine. For a long time though, she was really hard to transfer!
Is it easy or hard for you to transfer your LO from the stroller/carseat to their bed/crib?

I've never tried! I'm too scared to wake her. If she falls asleep in the car that means we're all staying put.

Easy! This kid is a heavy sleeper! I can go from the car seat, to the changing table, change her diaper, then to her crib and she's like a dead weight! It's awesome! She's almost 19 months and she loves her beauty sleep, lol.

Impossible. Today she fell asleep in the car & she woke up when I got her out, but I consider it a win because I was able to nurse her back to sleep (even though I have been trying to not do that).
If she has been asleep for more than 5-10 minutes she calls that her nap & won't go back down no matter what.

I have never once managed it!! She usually wakes when you open the car door (if she's in the car seat) and trying to lift her out of the pushchair will wake her every time!

My older one I could transfer from about age 1-3. Now he usually won't fall asleep out but if he does I can't transfer anymore. The younger one is much harder to transfer.

Last night was the first time I was able to do it (20 months). Of course, she had a full day with day care, a large group dinner and furniture shopping. And it was more than an hour past her bedtime. So what if she slept in her clothes with her hair up? At least I knew she had a clean diaper and I had taken her shoes off!

I've never even tried it! But I did transfer a sleeping baby from the ergo to her carseat today and felt pretty bad ass for that!

It has been different at different ages. Sometimes he definitely hasn't, and other times it's the easiest way to get him down for a nap. Lately it's been hard, but I've started warning him that if he falls asleep, I will put him in his bed, and that seems to help.

Nope. He's one of those that if the car even stops after he's fallen asleep, he wakes up.

Not at all. He's a light sleeper. He's still in the infant seat so if he falls asleep in the car we set the car seat in his crib so he has a quiet place to sleep without risking waking him up. Lol
ETA obviously just for naps. Not bedtime. Lol

It's about 50/50. If it's in the first few minutes it is easier.

We have never have been able to transfer her. We will just sit in the car if she happens to fall asleep. If I wake her and bring her inside she won't nap anymore

Super super easy. In fact a car ride has been our go-to last resort since he was an infant. Friday he actually fell asleep in the car after daycare (so around 5ish) and slept through 3 transfers... And then slept until 9:30am Saturday morning. 
The new addition.....nope. Doesn't work.

Yes when he's in the car, no when he's in the stroller. I guess it's because when he falls asleep in the car it's usually bedtime anyway, whereas he only naps in the stroller sometimes.
