Traveling is more convenient
Any mom that has traveled with kids, either by train, plane or automobile, knows the inherent trials and tribulations associated with lugging a stroller around.
Strollers are bulky, heavy, and don’t fit well in crowded areas. Albeit, they are more convenient than grabbing several little hands, there is a better way.
Ditch the stroller for a lightweight carrier that can be worn with or without the toddler in it. This option also makes nap time easier.
Your little one most likely wants to be held close and safe in all the new environments associated with traveling, but 35 lbs can wear on someone quick if you have to hold them.
