We live in a big city and do not have a car. The daily things like nursery school, groceries and the park are all within walking distance (10 min) but we use the stroller for pretty much everything else. I'm wondering how long your child needed a stroller? At what age was your child really able to go out and about and do errands without using a stroller? I know this will really depend on the child, but I'm curious. Our son is 28 months.
