When do you stop using stroller with your child?

I think this is really depending on your child and you will depend on your stroller for at least 2 years of age. Our kid is 20 months now and I still need the stroller when we go outside. After a short distance of walking, our son would want to be carried. So carrying him plus the diaper bag, etc becomes heavy for longer distances. For that reason I believe we will likely bring the stroller for at least another year or so.

For my older daughter, I stopped at about 2 years old when she was able to walk and run much more confidence. I didn't want to spoil her by pushing her everywhere and would rather her be walking and exploring areas on her own (within my sight of course). If she needs a nap, I'd usually go to a nearby cafe to chill while she sleeps on my lap. It works perfectly fine for me coz I get to eat and rest too

I stopped once my boy started walking stable which is about 18 months. If not they will get used to pushing them in a stroller and they do not want to walk their own. Sometimes if we are going out the whole day I will bring it out and put it in the car just in case he needs to sleep but other than that, we don't allow him to sit on it.

Its a very personal choice, or to rephrase, its often the kids' personal choice. My 15 month old likes to walk now and refuses the stroller but if we're travelling of walking long distances, we usually take the stroller with us. Its also super helpful to double up as a storage/ trolley for all the kids stuff and our shopping!

For my kids, the oldest i used till almoat 7yrs. It really depends. I used it till almost 7yrs cos need to ferry 2 kids to childcare at that time. Distance is also far say ard 15-20mins walk. Kids don't usually walk fast, in fact, they like to hold you back.

For me about 3 years she completely stopped. Started around 26 months to stop.
