How often do you use your stroller/car seat?

I just read a bunch of articles (focused mainly on kids over 4 but still generalized) explaining how bad strollers are for development. Well fuck me! We live in a small city and I almost never have a car, we use the stroller EVERY DAY at least one, usually two or three times. We walk 20 minutes to our farmers market, walk around for another 20, walk another 10 to the park or the library where he gets out to stretch his legs for an hour, pretty much daily in the summer, then we walk another 30 minutes home. Is this really bad?? There’s nothing close enough for him to just walk to without the stroller, but with it I can’t chase him AND keep track of our stuff, so I have to be particular about where we can get out and run around, but I do it specifically to get OUT of the house. The get away from the tv and the electronics to go out and talk about the trees and the cars and the people and now I feel like I’m stifling him and honestly I’m pissed 😑
