Why this is worth knowing before you go

Stroller or carrier? That's the packing question that actually matters, and it depends entirely on where you're headed. Japan, Singapore, and the Nordic countries have genuinely excellent stroller infrastructure — smooth sidewalks, elevators everywhere, nursing rooms in every mall. But somewhere with cobblestones, broken sidewalks, or safari game drives, and a stroller becomes dead weight fast. Locals adore kids almost everywhere in the world — the real variable is the infrastructure, not the welcome. A quick check before you book tells you what to pack.
