Stroller to Baby-Wearing Ratio: What's yours?

    For the first few months, I wore the majority. Now it's maybe 60-40 or 70-30 in favour of wearing. When with both kids together, I still wear most of the time. Depends what we are doing and which stroller I have with me. I will never go anywhere without my carrier though just in case it becomes a necessity.

    DD is 20 months. We probably wear 60-70% of the time, and stroller 30-40. When she was under a year we were probably 95% wearing and 5% stroller.

    I babywear for most of our outings probably 75% or more of them. DH prefers the stroller for the baby but he will wear her if someone is around to help get her in the SSC. He's a bit clumsy.
    We mostly used a stroller with #1 but sometimes an Ergo.

    Baby wear 80% stroller 20%. DS isn't a big fan of the stroller. I've used it a couple times without bringing a carrier and ended up regretting that decision so now I always have a carrier on me. But at 10 months he's getting to be pretty big and is starting to do a number on my back! (He's 23lbs and 30in)

    I babywear my daughter 95% of the time (or even more), she's 10.5 months and have only been in the stroller a few times in her life!! It's so much easier to pop her into the carrier to run into the store or go to the park with my toddler.

    My son is almost 3 and he walks pretty much 100% of the time

    I definitely do more stroller-ing because my daughter's preschool was within walking distance and my son took naps in the stroller but I do love to keep my Ergo in the car for quick trips and errands.

    I wear S for a few hours a day at home but, if we are going out, I tend to use the travel system (car seat that snaps into a pushchair) because we go everywhere in the car and its easier to take her out in the seat than get her out of the seat and into the carrier. I also find the logistics of babywearing out quite difficult - carrying the nappy bag is cumbersome and where do you put the baby while you eat hot food?!

    I've probably been at an average ratio of 50:50 here throughout DD's 12mos, so far. I always take both the Ergo & travel system stroller out, & will choose according to where we are, whether she's awake, etc. I wear her at home several days each week (or more), too, and DH wears her half of the time when we go out for walks or while traveling.
