What type of town do you live in? City? Suburbs?
I don't see a lot of people in my town using strollers. I guess because it might be a PITA to drive to a store, open the stroller, put LO in, go inside for 10 minutes then pack it back up and drive home?

we only use it on weekends since our daycare is a block away. we carry olive and charlie walks. we live in the city where we walk a lot anyway!

I use ours 2-3 times a week. We live downtown in a major city. I imagine when the weather gets better that I'll be using it daily.

I live in the suburbs and I use it about once every two weeks. I think I will get more use out of a stroller during maternity leave so I better look into a double!

I drive everywhere and I use my stroller all the time! To me it's really not the big of a deal to pop it open and put the car seat in. Especially now when she's so little and falls asleep in the car. If I had to pick her up or put her in a baby carrier she would wake up.

We have two, a BOB and a B-Agile. For errands, I use the B-Agile, but only really use it at the mall. She sits in the cart or I wear her everywhere else. We use the BOB every day the weather is nice for neighborhood walks (a few times a week right now) and when we go on longer outdoor outings.
ETA: We live in the 'burbs, but spend a good bit of time in the city as well.

City. I use it more that I thought I would. It really depends on the store/area as to whether or not I will break out the stroller . . . I can absolutely say though that it is well worth the 1 minute to pop up the stroller and snap LO's carseat in for even a 10 minute trip (I have the B-Ready) . . . car seats get heavy quickly!
Sometimes, if I know the shop(s) are too small, I will just plan to wear BabyGloss (I have the Beco Gemini carrier). With just a little practice, I can now get her out of the carseat and into the carrier in about 2 minutes (tops).

Only on weekends and it's been so frigging cold in Boston, we haven't used it then, either! I tend to wear my son too (9 months).

Anytime we go out with LO! We live in the suburbs, and if it's nice out, we'll go for walks as often as we can. And once LO is old enough, we have a BOB, and we'd like to run with him once his head is steady enough.
On quick grocery trips, we use our click and go. But anywhere major, we take the BOB.

We used the snap 'n go a lot when LO was in the infant seat. We moved her to a convertible car seat at about 6 months and now I either wear her in the Ergo or sit her in the shopping cart.

suburbs, and we use it 3-5 times a week? not at the grocery store, because i need more basket space, but everywhere else, and for walks around the neighbourhood! we have the citymini.

Never! She hated it (we had an UBV too so thought she would love it). We live downtown so we babywear now, much easier on subways and esculators.

We live in the suburbs and use it all the time! We have a BOB and we go on walks really frequently and we'll also use it when shopping.

Suburbs. We drive everywhere. I wear her more than use the stroller right now because she's in an inbetween stage where she hates the car seat but I feel she's still a bit too small for the stroller. I think as she gets bigger, we will use the stroller more. I used it a LOT when she was 0-5 months.

All the time! It just stays in my trunk. I live in the suburbs and we drive everywhere. Only time I don't use it is when we go into a restaurant.

Urban. Right now, 2-3 times a week, but when the weather gets better, probably every day!

We walk him to daycare and pop him in the snap n go. I don't have a coat big enough to go around him if I were to baby wear so for now, I bundle him in his snow suit and strap him into his car seat and off we go in the snap n go. Once it gets nicer and I actually am able to borrow my friend's Ergo, we'll probably wear him more.

I live on a smallish town and I use our Mountain Buggy pram just about everyday. LO and I try to get out walking with the dog during the week and I also walk the 3km's to and from our local shops a couple of times a week.
In the weekend we quite often throw the pram in the car and go to our nearest city to go shopping.

Suburbs. I use my stroller only on the weekend. I also WOHM so there isn't opportunity to use during the week.

Probably 2-3 times per week. We live in the burbs, it's in my trunk all the time. I don't use it at the grocery store anymore because she sits in the cart now, but we used to use it everywhere.

I would be using it a lot more if DH fixed the wheel.
In the summer/fall we went on a walk every day! I also like bringing it places such as shopping or long grocery trips.

We use it during the weekdays when I have to walk the dog with the kid(s). I'm trying to use my jogging stroller more now that I'm getting back into running.

every time i go out. i even do groceries with it. i put my groceries in a reusable bag attached to the mommy hook on the stroller and then empty it and pay for them at the cash and put them back in. i live in cold weather so i can't really wear him when i am walking from the car into a store. i think in the summer i will try to do without the stroller for errands and wear him more often. sometimes when walking around the mall though, i will wear him and just push the stroller with my stuff. i also go for walks with the stroller around my neighborhood.
overall i would say i use it almost every day.

Never. My trunk is always taken up with DH's goalie gear and I just carry the carseat everywhere.

I use it a lot, but I will be using it less now that she's out of the infant seat. It will be a little more of a pain to put her in the stroller without the infant seat. Plus, she won't be able to face me anymore. I live in the burbs.

We live in NYC and I tend to walk everywhere, so we use the stroller a lot on 3 days a week. I have the UppaBaby GLuxe and Britax B-Ready. I use the GLuxe more if its a short wall and I am not bringing much and use the B-Ready if its a long walk or I plan to shop (it's more comfy with more recline positions and a very large under carriage basket). If its cold or we go somewhere crowded though, I tend to wear DD in the Ergo.

NYC, so we use it pretty much every day when walking around or taking cabs. DW prefers to use the Boba on the subway, though.

We only use ours in the weekend when we're out and about. When we go grocery shopping, I wear him in the Ergo.

Every day! I'm short and I have a tall and heavy baby (almost 17 lbs at 3.5 months) so wearing him isn't too comfortable. The parking lot is not too close to the daycare entrance so I put his carseat in the snap n' go when I take him from the car to his room. I also like that I can put extra things like the diaper bag or shopping items in the stroller basket so I have less things to juggle when I'm out.

We live in the suburbs and used the caddy for our carseat alllll the time when LO was younger until he started sitting up well on his own. In the past couple months we have sat him more in a shopping cart. We will probably use the stroller more once the weather gets warmer.
