Bay Area Moms

We're going to be in SF for 4 days and I'm trying to figure out if a stroller is a good idea or not. I feel like it might be too hilly to use one but really have no clue.  Any suggestions?  We'll definitely bring the Ergo and Moby.

I'm lurking here, but in the Bay Area, so.. anyway, when we're out all day I have a stroller and carrier because my LO gets really fussy being confined for too long, so then we'll put him in the stroller to stretch out a bit [and give my back a rest]. If we're only going out for an hour or two, I'll just bring the carrier. If we're in the East Bay, sometimes we'll just bring a blanket and let him stretch out on it in a park.. but it's sunny and warm here. SF parks are still very muddy this time of year. I was just at Golden Gate Park yesterday.

But try a not-so-bulky stroller, if you have one, because SF is always crowded every day all day forever and ever and maneuvering around in a tank would be a PITA, I imagine. The hills themselves aren't a big deal, though.. unless you let go, of course.. but, just don't do that ;p

Ha!  I'll make sure I don't. Thanks!
