Stroller, carrier, or carry in arms? 🤔

Hello! This might be silly but I kinda just wondered what other people do lol.. My little guy is 11 months old and has outgrown his infant car seat and has been in one of the convertible ones for a couple months. I’ve been finding it easier just to carry him everywhere 😅. I rarely ever even have a stroller in the car anymore especially since it’s winter and I find it’s a pain in the ass with all the snow (we’re in Canada). I’ve always hated carrying him around in the car seat especially being a short person 😬 stairs are particularly challenging. Anyways, thoughts? Suggestions? What works for you and your family?

I used the baby sling!! I highly recommend one. There are so many brands and styles. Here is a link for a google search https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=baby%20sling%20wrap&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5

My son is 19 months tomorrow. I go between carrier ( sling is the word across the pond)... and carrying him, but we do have a few strollers also

Honestly it depends on how long you’re carrying baby… what you will be doing— do you need your hands?

Up until about 8 months I used a carrier, then he was strong enough to just toss on my hip and go lol so now I just carry until we get to a shopping cart. I also have a 3yo so a lot depended on if I also had to carry him or if he could walk the distance I was going

Definitely not a sling or carrier at his age! If you havnt been using one, I can imagine it would probably mess your back up 😂 plus he probably wouldn’t take to it so far along. Those hip seats are good for toddlers though to take the pressure off. Just carry him, he will be walking soon haha

My boy is 11 months and I mainly use a carrier with him. Only use the pram for dropping his brother off at nursery and that's about it. If we lived closer to my eldest's school we wouldn't use a pram at all i don't think.

I try using a stroller but I don’t know why anymore because my LO always wants to be held. I got the TushBaby seat and it’s a godsend. I still have hope he’ll use the stroller, though, and always end up carrying him in one arm and pushing the stroller with the other 🫠

@Jess he might be might not be :/ Not every kid walks at one :/ ( signed a mom to an older baby who is biologically toddler aged )

I’ve heard the tushbaby is perfect for carrying my friend uses hers every single day

Oh wow thanks everybody! When I said carrier I meant car seat 😅 I wasn’t even thinking of wearing him. I’ve been wearing him around the last couple days and it’s been SO much easier! Even just from inside to the car

Hey there! Never used a stroller....okay, maybe twice ... I couldn't get the damn thing to open half the time and I said f*uck it. On my hip or toddling around beside me. Now I hate seeing big kids riding in them who are perfectly capable of walking 😂
