So, here's another one.
Is anyone still using a stroller with their almost 3 year old? We went to the zoo today and I thought about taking it. We ended up sharing a wagon with my neighbor instead and the kids barely spent any time in it. I'm wondering if we'll ever use the stroller again.
That said, it seems like it would be handy if we were downtown (Seattle) or travelling somewhere. I think the thing I'm going to miss most is having a way to store stuff while you're walking around.

I still use the stroller a lot...the jogging one. She likes to ride in it on walks and it's handy when walking to/from music class downtown & the grocery store. Today, she walked to the store with me, but she promised she'd walk both ways (she did). Typically she asks to take the stroller to ride one way. I don't see giving it up soon. I'll just need to figure out how to push the twins & her around if need be....

Yes, for sure, we never take anything but the double stroller, so that means two kids are going to sit in it, and if LJ doesn't one of the big kids will, and he doesn't like that, so he'll come back and kick them out

I never really use my strollers anymore. I have a 'big' one and a travel sized one and neither of them gets used. I think it's time to sell them but then maybe I might want to use one for travelling to the USA this summer.. what to do?

I always have a single one with me and the sling underneath. Ana walks to school, but sometimes shes so tired she cant walk the mile back up the hill home, so she jumps in the pram and I carry inés. I am going to buy a buggy board as Inés is now almost 16lbs and getting heavy. If we go out for the day then I take the double pram, Ana still sleeps 2.5 hours every afternoon and she sleeps well in the back seat.

I still put James in the double stroller when we go places. Our oldest walks and James & Ellie are in the stroller. He doesn't always like being in there but he doesn't listen well enough to walk on his own. I can't really be chasing him around when I have two other kids to watch. He hates "leashes" even more than the stroller. If I have another adult with me he walks most of the time but if it is just me with the three kids he stays strapped in the stroller.

We still use the umbrella stroller for Bella a LOT. She hates holding hands and walking and John totally encourages this by carrying her around whenever we are out. I hated using the double strollers with the boys so I guess I'll be getting a carrier for Mason. I refuse to put any sort of leash on any of my kids, so Bella will just stay in the stroller a little longer.

Yep, if she'll be walking for a while or in a place where she'll get into things. We have a Mutsy light weight stroller.

Angelica doesn't listen the greatest so we use the stroller a lot. Just the Jogging one. I really don't see us giving it up anytime soon. It holds up to 50 lbs so we still have room to grow.

We have never been able to get Presley into a stroller for longer than 15 min, so we never take one with us. Her stroller's main occupants are her dolls.

We use our umbrella stroller whenever we feel we're going to do a bit of walking. Neither of us ever want to carry her around (she is heavy at a whole 27 lbs!). I feel as if it's win/win for us anyway - if she's not sitting in it, I have a place to store my bag and other things. If she's in it I don't have to worry about chasing her around

We use our stroller when we can as well. It's harder now that Kenzie is here. But if I don't feel like chasing Hannah (or arguing with her about holding my hand, lol) then I will put her in it. We have a double stroller, but I haven't used it yet.

Adrian actually asked me if we could take the stroller to the zoo. I guess that answers that question for now. It's easier to transport than a wagon I guess.

Still use mine for sure. The double one at least. Aiden sometimes will walk but other times he wants to sit or at least part of the way.
