I have a very active eighteen-month old and a very tall three-and-a-half year old. Until recently, I've been able to pack them up into our double stroller and head out for a walk. Lately, it's been a nightmare! They both fuss and fight the WHOLE time we're out - the younger can't stand being restrained and the elder complains about not having enough room.
At what age did your kids outgrow the stroller?

My son is 4 and I still put him in one. But thats because he is a special needs little boy and its just easyer to put him in a stroller.

My kids were out of the stroller by the time they were 18 months, except for really big expeditions or places I was really afraid they'd get lost (walks over a mile or next to major traffic, day at the fair or museum, long trip to the mall, etc.). Even for those types of trips, we didn't use the stroller after they turned 3 (unless we brought it for a younger sibling who of course never wanted to be in it, at which point we'd occasionally let an older sibling ride around) I'd rather have them walking and getting some exercise ... and so would they!

Mine are 13 months aside, my youngest is 5 weeks now, and that i purely offered a stroller the day till now at present after finding around, studying for months, borrowing strollers from others and finally finding out to purchase, making use of, being disillusioned with and then returning a perego - i offered a Combi factor via factor, that is meant for twins. It has a small storage basket under each seat and yet another small pocket on the lower back of each seat. I in uncomplicated terms intend to apply it for walks and longer outings as I usually have one baby in a provider, so that is wonderful. It strikes very nicely and that i attempted it at a finding out to purchase mall the day till now at present and had *no* problem getting by means of doorways. i did no longer see many that had greater storage, apart from some incredibly effective walking strollers, yet they does no longer fit in my vehicle. one factor i found is you will no longer get each little thing in a double stroller no remember how plenty you spend- that is why I decrease back the $seven hundred perego and went with the $220 combi! There wasn't adequate distinction to justify $500 distinction i did no longer like the front/lower back strollers in visual attraction and additionally i did no longer think of my 15 month previous could like it- they're close adequate in age that they are going to decide to take a seat down next to one yet another, and that i do no longer decide to hearken to arguing in 2 years over who sits in front!

my daughter is 3 and she still uses a stroller when we go out only because she likes to wander off. she doesnt like to be restrained either, especially when we are sitting somewhere, but as long as we are moving she is usually fine. I'm due with my second in April and I've been wondering how the stroller situation is going to work. I've thought about buying a double but i think im going to try one of those 'backpack harnesses' for my daughter first so she can still walk around but can't get too far.

I have a grandson who is turning 5 this week and he still loves his stroller- BUT he's a teeny-tiny 28 pounds and has little, teeny, skinny legs- when we go to places like England on vacation, or Disneyland... places where there is lots of walking, it's just easier for him to ride, although he can certainly walk whenever he wants. We don't make him stay in the stroller- he wants to! And we still have a place to store purses and packages!

My kids were out of a stroller by 2. They all prefered to walk, so I let them. We were all much happier once the stroller was out of the picture. The going was slow, due to little legs, but there was no crying and screaming!

I have 3yr old twin girls that can still sit in their jogging stroller since it holds up to 80lbs. The could still fit in their tandem stroller but its more of a pain to take around since they can walk!! but I wouldnt want to take them out of the stroller if I had an 18mth old.

my daughter is rather independant. by the time she was 2 she rarely used it, in fact if I did bring it, she would end up pushing it part ways as it was empty. However for the zoo or long long walks, up until 4 yet.

When you spend more time pushing it empty than pushing it with the kids in it.
It depends on the kid.
