When I lived in the Metro DC area (Bailey's Crossroads in NoVA) with a 1-2 year old we kept that stuff in the bottom of our stroller (mostly in a single medium-sized bag). We took the stroller everywhere via buses and trains. We very rarely drove our vehicle while living in DC since a couple grocery stores, several restaurants, and several department stores were within easy walking distance (about a mile) from our house. With the stroller, we used carabiners to hold bags on the walk back. For longer excursions (all day to a museum or zoo), I'd bring a backpack with misc stuff in addition to what was in the stroller. Our stroller had a detachable car seat integrated (the car seat set locked into the stroller when using it as a stroller), which allowed us to use taxis if needed.
- jedberg 9y agoYes, we've done all that too when traveling. But it's a lot easier to just hop in the car and go, knowing that all that stuff is already there.
- Johnny555 9y agoIt's only easier if you know you'll have parking at your destination. If you live in a city with convenient transit service, you don't need to worry about parking. And if you want to take a long stroll down the waterfront, you don't need to return to your car to go home, you just hop on a different train.
