In the winter months we only use the stroller if we go to the mall or other events that require a lot of walking that are indoors (rare)...and in the summer we use it a lot for walks. We have a park nearby that we walk to, and it's a about a mile away, so definitely too far to make my 2 and 3 year old walk...although my oldest has done it before! We have a single stroller and also an umbrella stroller but we don't use them as much anymore, but hanging onto them just in case!
-
Almost daily. We live in a walkable neighborhood so unless it's pouring we run around town.
-
We used to use it everyday to commute (we are in a city and don't drive) but lo went on a stroller strike so we now take public transportation on a daily basis. We still use the stroller on weekends though for errands, to go to the park, etc. lo still doesn't want to/isn't able to walk far, so if we don't take the stroller, I basically have to carry her everywhere
-
Almost daily for LO 3.
-
A couple times a week.
To the park or for walks around our neighborhood (which we try and do one of those things on every day it isn't raining), to the mall, to things like the library, the YMCA, open gym, the childrens' museum, the zoo, and occasionally preschool dropoff.
I have 3 kids under 4 and I'm usually running errands and going on outings solo with them, so it is a lot easier to wrangle them in parking lots when I have a stroller.
-
With twins in infant seats, we use it every time we need to take the twins with us (they stay in the car with one parent, if one of us can run into the store). We'll probably always take a stroller with us... unless I decide to wear one or both of them. Let's hope they like being strapped into a stroller or being worn.
-
We have a 2.5 year old and live in the burbs, so not too often. We only use it when we visit the city, zoo, mall, etc.
-
Daily but I live in the city with nearly everything in walking distance.
-
In the 2.5 years I've had kids, I've used it maybe... 10 times. I baby wear instead. I keep thinking I should sell them, but then I think I might use them once the kids are older.
-
Almost every day. We live in a very walkable small city.
-
She really only is in the stroller for walks or as a baby holder outside (like if I'm weeding the beds). It is so much easier just to wear her, plus the stroller is a pain to take in and out of the trunk.
-
Everyday/every other day. With three under three I need to be able to contain some.
-
@Alba4: Same! Living in the suburbs, we mainly just use it at malls, the zoo, the aquarium, etc.
-
every day! We live somewhere walkable and the weather is mild.
I didn't want to be a stroller mama, I hate pushing it and my baby only recently started tolerating it. I love baby wearing but I kept hurting my shoulder and it definitely made it worse : ( Once it is totally healed I am gonna try to practice back carries more.
-
We only use the stroller when we go running. DS started walking around 10 months. Around a year, I stopped using the stroller except for running.
-
Not often these days. Just to the museum and maybe the occasional trip to the mall. Walking around the neighborhood consists of LO1 riding his bike, and LO2 either walking or being pushed in his car buggy.
-
LO basically lives in the stroller. NYC and no car. I wear him sometimes, but he's huge and likes the stroller.
I need a double for when number 2 gets here. I am not really looking forward to that, but with two under two in the city there is really no other choice.
-
If we can take the stroller instead of the car we do it. Aside from really bad weather or unplowed sidewalks we use it every day.
ETA we live in the suburbs too but right near the center of our town and town is not too big. We walk to LO's school, playgrounds, stores, to see the train, or to friends houses. Sometimes we just walk to get out of the house. Sidewalks are not the best in our town but we make due! -
Not that often anymore but a ton when LO was younger. We walk a lot when the weather is nicer and used it every weekend for the park/walking around downtown, etc.
-
Hardly ever. We babywear instead. I can see us using the stroller more when we have another kid, toddler in the stroller, baby in the carrier.
-
DD is 18 months old and we use it maybe once a month. I prefer using shopping carts/babywearing so we only use it on special outings, like the zoo. I wish I had bought a cheapie stroller and invested more in a carrier.
-
Several times a week. Right now I use it slightly less because the baby is still really small and easy to wear and the toddler is big enough to walk a little further away so often we just do that. But if we are walking far at all or I need her contained we use it, either as a double or I wear the baby and use it as a single. (UB vista). Once the baby is a little bigger and can go in the lower seat I think it will be a lot better as a double.
-
Several times a week - we live in a gated community in the 'burbs, but we have a duck pond and playground nearby that we go to several times a week.
Also, the nanny takes LO2 out for a long walk every day, so she uses it everyday.
-
just for running. I wear her 99% of the time!
-
Rarely. We live in the burbs so most places are just door to door in the car; otherwise I wear her.
-
Never. Still babywearing at 18 months, but like @lindsaylou: said, she'll probably go in it a lot more if we have another baby.
-
Everyday. We walk the dog twice a day and take it on most errands except now she prefers a shopping cart more.
-
Not too often. Only at the mall or maybe once a week for a walk. My son HATES the stroller.
-
we go in waves. used it a lot the first few month because i wanted to keep him in the infant seat. once we started getting mobile, he was less interested and once he started walking (10mo), it was just easier to wear him because he would try to climb out. now, at almost 2.5 years old, we mostly just use it when we travel or go to super crowded places and he holds it while we push my bag(s). =)
-
Hardly ever. DS is 3.5, and when we go on walks around the block, he likes riding his balance bike. Been debating bothering with getting a double stroller for when DD arrives but I'm thinking I'll just wear her for as long as possible or push her in the stroller while DS rides or walks.
-
Only if we go to a shopping center - otherwise for daily tasks like kinder drop offs or groceries I have her in the carrier.
-
Multiple times a day. We live in a huge city. We walk everywhere (we do have a car but it's garaged several blocks away so I still need my stroller to lug stuff home ). I love love love our stroller. I had six bottles of wine in it just yesterday. I don't want to stop using the stroller until LO can carry at least three of the bottles herself
