Do you bring stroller to mall or other shopping place? I saw some parents did it in mall and it seems not handy but holding a baby while shopping is a quite challenge too.

I bring both carrier and stroller whenever i go shopping with my kids (i have two) If i go out with one kid(19mo) i would strap him in a baby carrier to make him have his nap before placing him in the stroller to snooze while i shop with ease. Of course i have to avoid those crowded shops as pushing a stroller around isn't easy. If i have an elder child with me (4yo), he would sometimes sit in the stroller as move around the malls so i don't have to keep chasing after him
