Both have their advantages, and many families have both a stroller and a baby carrier at home. The most obvious reason to take a carrier on an outing is that it’s nice to have your baby close while you’re on the go. Or because your little one clearly prefers it!
Many parents also like how a carrier works with public transportation. Getting a stroller onto a train or subway can make anyone nervous. With your baby on your chest, getting on and off public transportation is easy.
And once your child is old enough to ride in a bike seat, it’s handy to bring a carrier along, so you can easily continue on foot after the ride, for example when you go into a store.
