The answer depends on the places where you'll be going, the time of day and the environment. A stroller demands less effort in easily-accessible locations cleared of obstacles, but becomes cumbersome in cluttered environments, rough terrain, stairs, going through doors, moving through snow, and up and down steep slopes like hills and mountain trails. An experienced babywearer would probably tell you that carrying their baby is effortless to them in comparison to handling a stroller. In all honesty, everything depends on one's habits and techniques. When you carry your baby often and starting from birth, your body strengthens itself, day after day, as your baby develops, without you even realizing it! Getting a stroller out of the car, or getting it up a set of stairs or through a crowd is less than fun. A common sight on the streets is a mother with her baby against her in a baby carrier but still pushing a stroller full of grocery bags. We can say that a stroller can be handy to have extra space to carry things, but the baby itself will be happier sitting in his baby carrier.
