I got a baby carrier and I never used my stroller. I have a car seat that only a car seat, I think it is evenflo and gets up to 50lbs. I have been removong inserts as he grows up.

As a small baby I used the moby wrap. I got hands free and a content baby carried around. When he was about 4 months I bought an ergo carrier I still use today at 16 months. I am only 100lb and carry a 25lb baby on that thing and I can hardly feel the weight, he is very content on it and even takes his naps on it. I can carry him in front or on my back. And the models are very cute.

I never used that pesky, bulky, heavy stroller that don't fit anywhere!
But that is just me.
Well, not really, I see mom carrying their babies and toddlers on bare arms while pushing an empty stroller. what is wrong with that picture?

I don't push an empty stroller around and my kid is next to me at all times, I get free hands. I am still thinking what to do with the stroller I have. My ex uses an umbrella stoller in ocassion because he will not wear a baby carrier. Ergo are the best!

Come to think of it, I used a Snuggli to carry my DD EVERYWHERE when she was little. It was so convenient. I know a lot of people don't like the quality of the Snuggli as much as they like other carriers, but I found it just fine. DH use to make fun of how I walked with her strapped to my front, apparently one waddles a little, but it is a great way to tote a youngun around. I never could get the knack of carrying her on my arm like some mothers do, so having her secured in a pack was great.

I tried a sling and an Eddie Bauer front pack, and hated both, so it all comes down to personal preference. My son spent tons of time in the carrier until he outgrew it at 5 months, and he walked at 9.5 months.

Probably a mom's forum would be the best place to take a poll if you're undecided.
