You could always get an umbrella stroller. They're more lightweight
and easier to stow in a trunk than other strollers.

We don't go to many places that require a lot of walking, but many
parents do. Even older kids can get pretty tired while out walking
for a long period of time, like at a theme park or fair.
I'd prefer the stroller over carrying, or listening to my almost 6
year old complaining constantly!
