Help, baby hates stroller and ergo!

Hi everyone,

I recently bought both an ergo carrier and moby wrap but unfortunately my daughter is too heavy for the moby (18 pounds). Shes fine in the ergo until she gets tired and wants to sleep (usually after 40 minutes in the ergo). She then cries and cries until I take her out. Ive tried wearing her on the front and the back but she refuses to sleep in it. She used to sleep in our other baby carrier but outgrew it. She no longer sleeps in her stroller either which makes it difficult taking her anywhere. When she gets tired she just cries and cries until my husband or I pick her up. The problem is my parents are coming for a visit (we live in spain) and we will be out for more than 3 hours a day. She naps every 2 hours. Anyone have any tips on how to get her to sleep in her stroller or carrier? She never had a problem until recently

My son is almost 6mos and he is over 18lbs and I use the moby for him with no problem. try placing her in the stroller after she is sleeping and let her wake up there (keeping an eye on her of course). then try taking walks when she is calm and closer to her nap time. Just try to ease her into it and make her as comfortable as possible. Have you tried Mei tai-type wraps?
