My latest article at Eco Child’s Play in my weekly series, “Baby Essentials That Aren’t“, is now up and this week we scrutinize the stroller!

Of course strollers have their usefulness.  I’ve even used one with Pomme… once or twice.  But we can certainly get by without them, and in most situations a sling is MUCH more practical.

In this series, I’m not saying that any of these non-essentials should 100% always be avoided and discarded… I am saying that we should question the pros and cons and all sides of the issues, and make decisions on baby-gear with informed intelligence, not merely assuming that we really do need what the stores tell us we need!  They are legitimate options to consider, but we shouldn’t just blindly accept them as the default.
