Managing toddler stroller and car seat resistance

It is very common for toddlers approaching walking age to experience 'movement frustration,' leading them to reject strollers or car seats in favor of exploring on their own. This is usually a temporary phase; once they gain more confidence in their walking, they often settle back into using these tools for longer outings. To help, encourage independent movement at the park or home, and consider bringing the stroller along even for short walks just in case they tire out and need a break.
