Until when do kids stay in a stroller?

My title is clear. My son is 2 and a half, and yes, I still find a stroller really convenient. So my question is: up to what age can a child use a stroller?

    I mean, up to what age?

    Can someone change this quickly?

    Until the point when your child can walk longer distances. This will be until about 3 to 4 years old. Before that, they can walk parts/pieces, but you have to keep in mind that if the child is tired or having a bad day, distances can take 2 or even 3 times as long. Also, a stroller is still very handy for doing groceries or carrying other baggage :-D

    Hi young mom,

    I personally find it very handy. It depends on how far you walk with your little one. For longer distances, I prefer using the stroller since that's what it's for. My youngest daughter just turned 4 and still doesn't walk very far; if she gets tired, I have to carry her. I do that, but the stroller is easier. Recently, I've been taking the stroller everywhere with her because otherwise, I'd have to pick her up every time.

    For example, in the park near us where we go regularly, I always carry my youngest because she's too tired to walk to the parking lot.

    So yes, a stroller is still handy. We're taking it along for her again these days.

    So it really depends on the child.

    Greetings, Madelene

    My son is almost 2 and very rarely do we bring a stroller anymore.
    When we do long day trips, then yes. Because he still needs his afternoon nap.
    But if we just go out to eat and drink in the city and we're gone for about 4 hours, then I leave the stroller at home.
