to stroll or not to stroll

My verdict on using a stroller when traveling is a little mixed. I had a five hour lay over in London and couldn't have made it without a stroller. Holding my daughter in the back pack or letting her walk around the entire time would not have been welcome. That said with two to three hours in an airport I would have prefered not to have a stroller. I found it cumbersome even though my stroller is small. My bag was a little too big to fit easily under the stroller and when I hung it on the handels the stroller would tip without my daughters weight holding it down. I love my Ergo baby carrier and still think this is the best travel gear around. On the way home I found the stroller to be more trouble than it was worth, it is almost impossible to wheel a stroller and a suitcase through an airport. If you can do curb side check in and have a small carry on bag then a stroller is okay but the baby back pack is still easier to manuver through security, ticket lines, air planes, etc..
