The temps are slowly creeping up here. DH is appalled that I want to take LO for a walk in her stroller. What temp would you take your LO for a walk?

I'll go if it's in the 30's. If she's dressed appropriately and shielded from the wind, i don't see the big deal.
There's no bad weather, just improper clothing

usually above freezing - so 32
unless the wind was crazy and making it colder!

Well, I'm in New England, so if I waited until it was actually warm we'd have been inside from October to April. So my threshold for a longer, more for pleasure than absolute necessity, is about 40 degrees. I definitely have taken her when it's colder though, and just try to keep it shorter.
depending on the temp I can keep her really warm in the car seat snapped into the stroller-- her little fleece snow suit and the bundle me or the shower cap style car seat cover and she is really toasty. Her face is the only thing I worry about it, so if it's really cold I put a blanket over the whole thing (I have one that velcros on to the handle) but then I only really go out if we have to. But 40 degrees and up we definitely go for strolls.

I'll go in the 20s or teens, he's so bundled in his stroller that he can't feel the air outside anyway! I'm usually the one who's cold and uncomfortable. Wind chill is the only thing that would really keep me inside.

I'll go even in the teens as long as the wind isn't bad. He has a full snowsuit, boots, gloves, hat etc and we limit the time to less than 30 minutes.
It's 40 out today so I had to tell my brother to take him out! I'm so excited J can finally burn off some steam. Hasn't been this warm since early November.

I'll go as low as -20C (-4F), cuz the dog needs to be walked. I make sure LO is super bundled and warm enough. Then it's just me that's miserable.

All temps, the only thing I wouldn't do is go out in the rain or hard snow.
I had all kinds of cold weather gear, staying inside just wasn't an option.

Usually the 20's. There were a few days where we had errands we had to run this winter where we went out below that, but that's my threshold for recreational walks or when she was a newborn.

we have dogs and live in the northeast, the combination of which means that i do take LO for walks even in the 20s--i put him in a carrier since it gets nice and warm. anything colder and i wait for my hubby to come home and walk the dogs instead. for stroller walks, i would probably wait for 40s or 50s.

Anything above about 10 degrees f. But we use a weather shield and a down ll bean sack in the bob. She has never felt cold coming out of it. I'd go without the weather shield above 32, assuming there isn't wind.

I guess I'm a bit more cavalier. If it's not a blizzard we go out. I guess having a January baby in Canada will do that to you.
