I bought this product over a stroller.  My car had broke down and was not able to be fixed so I had to catch the bus (public transportation) for a while. This was so helpful I could walk to the bus stop with ease and my son was very comfortable in it and I think he actually enjoyed it. I didn't have to worry about folding a stroller or pushing a stoller up and down the street and when I needed to stop at a store for any reason I was in and out in a flash. Plus my son usually fell asleep with no problems on some of those bus rides and it was a lot easier to just carry him like that without disturbing...
