Up until about 2.5, Olive wanted to walk everywhere, which of course took forever. Charlie was the same way. When they get older, they realize that they don't have to walk and become so lazy! They don't want to walk anywhere and want to be carried or ride in the stroller. That's how Olive has been for the past almost year.
How old is your LO? Do they want to walk or stroll?

Ha! That reminds me of last year when the kids were 3 and 5.5 - I took the stroller just in case my 3 yr old needed it - guess who walked and who rode in the stroller 
Stroller is gone now so there isn't the option!

OMG, my dream is the day he will be satisfied sitting in a stroller. My LO is 2 now, and he's never ever been happy sitting in a stroller, or shopping cart, or anything. I can barely go out alone with him because of it. Yes, please be lazy and sit in the stroller! haha. But I hope he's not going to want me to carry him. At this point he just wants to walk.

20 months and she wants to walk everywhere! Which is fine, but she has a tendency to get excited and run away from me...so stroller it is! She lasts about 20-30 minutes before getting antsy though.

I guess we mostly drive but when we do need to walk, they just walk. Or now they like to ride their bikes.

E always asks for her pushchair because we very rarely use it! We make her walk everywhere. She gets so excited when we say she can go in it!

About 70% of the time she wants to walk. I wish she wanted to just sit and relax more lol

depends on her mood, really! I almost bought a sit and stand but didn't love that she wouldn't have a seat if she wanted one. I got the contours options elite and I face the seat in the front outward, and she easily climbs in and out if it like a sit and stand. the lack of fight makes shopping much easier too!

We've got a walker here. She always has been, since she first learned at 10 mo. Now sometimes she'll ask for a stroll but most of the time she just wants to push the stroller instead.

Walk. But she's a runner and we live downtown so the stroller it is.

DD currently runs and jumps in her stroller when I take it out at home to go for a walk. Out shopping or something, she would much rather walk...and touch everything she sees.

29 months. If we have the stroller out she will want the stroller. If we don't have it out she doesn't ask for it.

It depends where we are. Sometimes he's content to stroll, but for the most part, he prefers to walk. We hardly ever use the stroller nowadays though.

DD always wants to sit, and DS always wants to walk. I'd like it to be the other way around please!!

At 2 she doesn't want to sit in the stroller but if she gets out she walks for about 2 mins and then starts asking for up. Kid I am not carrying you everywhere while pushing a stroller.

22 months and wants to always walk. It's so hard to get her in the stroller. I have more luck piling her in. Wagob but then she always wants to get out and pull the wagon herself.

Walk. When we tried to use the stroller at Disney the first time, my son refused. It took two days before he realized we could stay longe if he sat.

We pretty much had to ditch the stroller sometime around 20 months. It's been ok since DS is so good about holding my hand and staying right with me, he's not a runner. I used to get so annoyed with DH because he would always let DS walk when it was the 3 of us so then DS would always want to walk when he was just with me and I couldn't handle running errands without him in the stroller. I got over it though and now he is happy to have some independence and I'm happy that he is learning to stay with me, hold my hand, etc.

DS is 22 months old and will sit in the stroller if we put him in there. But if we stay stationary too long, he wants out. So as long as we're moving, he's totally happy with sitting.

She has days where she's okay in the stroller and days where she wants me to carry her while I push the darn stroller. RARELY does she want to walk along with me (she just tries to run out into the street, or run back into the playground--NEVER where we need to go).
