Stroller vs. Baby Carrier: When to Use Each
As a parent, one of the biggest questions you’ll face when heading out with your little one is: Should I use a stroller or a baby carrier? Both options have their perks, but knowing when to use each can make all the difference in comfort and convenience.
Whether you're strolling through the park, navigating a crowded airport, or running errands, choosing between a baby carrier vs. stroller depends on your needs, your baby's age, and your lifestyle. Let’s explore the benefits of both so you can decide what works best for your family.
Emotional Benefits of Getting Outside
Spending time in nature with your baby can strengthen the bond between you. The simple act of holding your baby close, feeling their warmth, and sharing new experiences together can create strong emotional connections. It’s also a wonderful way to reduce stress and improve your mood. When my littles were extra fussy, I’d take a walk around the neighborhood. Even though I

The Key to a Relaxed Holiday with Baby: The Travel Stroller
Do you want to be prepared for anything a vacation with kids can throw at you? Then a travel stroller is really worth its weight in gold. Of course, a baby carrier is a must have and, small as it is, there’s probably plenty of room for it in your luggage. It can be more of a debate though as to whether a travel stroller is worth bringing. But the new Ergobaby Metro 3 makes that an easy choice as
The Stroller Dilemma: Finding the Perfect Fit
Choosing the right stroller is a major decision for new parents. With so many options available, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out the answer to the question: “What stroller should I get?” Do you need a stroller for newborns, a compact stroller for easy travel, or a stroller that grows with your baby?
At Ergobaby, we understand these challenges, which is why we designed the Metro 3 Stroller—a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and compact design. Whether you're strolling through the city, hopping on a plane, or simply running errands, the Metro 3 is built to meet your needs.
But before we dive into what makes the Metro 3 Stroller a game-changer, let’s cover the basics of how to choose a stroller that’s right for your family.
The Basics: What to Look for in a Stroller
When selecting a stroller, there are a few key factors to consider to ensure both comfort for your baby and ease of use for parents.
1. Comfortable
If you’re planning a trip to Disney this year with your little ones, a stroller will undoubtedly become your best friend. Whether you're navigating through Disney World’s expansive parks or Disneyland’s charming streets, renting a stroller can help keep your family comfortable and your trip stress-free. In this guide, we’ll cover all the essential details, from rental options to Disney stroller rules and why the Ergobaby Metro+ is the ultimate travel stroller for Disney adventures.
Why You Might Need a Stroller at Disney
Disney parks are enormous, covering miles of walking paths, attractions, and shops. Here’s why a stroller is a must-have:
- Distance: With over 40 square miles in Walt Disney World, even adults get tired! A stroller ensures your kids can rest when needed.
- Storage: Use the stroller to store snacks, water bottles, souvenirs, and extra clothing, reducing the load on your shoulders.
- Rest on the Go: The excitement of Disney can be overwhelming for little ones. A stroller
From snow to sleet to temperatures and winds so ice cold you feel like you can’t breathe, Mother Nature doesn’t really welcome you with warm, open arms this time of year (unless of course you live in Florida, Arizona or Southern California).
Taking your baby outside for a walk in the winter? Your answer is probably, “No thanks!” And I get it. Staying inside your cozy home sipping a cup of hot chocolate while your baby plays with his toys sounds way more appealing than getting everyone all bundled up to go on a 10 minute walk in 40 degree temperatures. But you can’t stay inside all winter long – you’ll go stir crazy!
According to one pediatrician, and I’m sure many others agree with her, “Unless it’s dangerously cold, being outdoors helps infants acclimate to the seasons and the day-and-night cycle, and it often calms fussiness.” Getting exercise plus having a calm baby who may sleep better at night? We parents should all be saying, “Yes, please!”
As long as you follow the proper safety
When you’re a parent on the go, a stroller is your best friend. It’s your extra set of hands. It’s basically your mobile command vehicle. You need your stroller to safely hold your child, diaper bag, toys, snacks, sippy cup, mommy’s drink of choice, cell phone and keys. But many strollers can’t do it on their own. They need a little help from their own kind of friends we like to call stroller accessories.
Whether you’re an urban or suburban on-the-go parent, here are some of the best and most useful stroller accessories to make your life out of the house a little easier.
1. Weather Shield
When partly cloudy skies turn to rain showers, a blanket or car seat cover won’t cut it. You’ll need a weather shield to keep your little one dry from rain and protected from the wind and bugs. It’s also a great option to keep your tiny tot safe while out and about in congested cities, stores or doctor’s offices, especially during cold and flu seasons. The Metro+ Stroller comes with a rain and wind cover
Parenthood brings with it a whole slew of questions to answer and lessons to learn. How do I know what my baby is trying to tell me when she’s crying? When do I transition her from a bassinet next to my bed to a crib in her own room? When do I start feeding her solids?
Another major topic for new parents revolves around their baby’s sleep schedule: Can my baby nap in the stroller? We’ve all been there. You’re out on a stroll and you go to check on your little one and they’re fast asleep. This poses the question as to whether it’s safe for your baby to continue napping in their stroller or not?
The Short Answer? Yes, it’s Safe.
In short, yes- you can let your baby nap in the stroller. There’s no need to be concerned about your baby’s safety if they fall asleep while you’re out on a stroll together. If you have a newborn, it’s preferred that they fall asleep in a bassinet style stroller that allows them to lay flat. But even in a traditional style stroller, an older baby
How a Compact Stroller Will Help Your Everyday Routine
The everyday routine of a parent is busy and at times chaotic to say the least. And while children are wonderful, they can also make everyday errands into an epic event. Need to run to the store just for milk and toothpaste? Alone, you can be there and back home in 10 minutes. But with a kid, you never know how long it’ll take. You have to pack a diaper bag, put your child and his stuff in the car, drive to the store, take him and his stuff out of the car—there’s 25 minutes right there (not including any surprise setbacks) and you haven’t even made it into the store. It can make any sane parent feel like going crazy.
But everyday life requires leaving your house some days. You have places to go and people to see; not to mention your sanity to keep. Want to know what can help you keep your sanity? A lightweight compact stroller. It can’t pack a diaper bag or put your child into his car seat, but it does add some convenience to your
