📋 The Bottom Line
New Delhi presents the ultimate stroller challenge while offering incredible cultural rewards. Infrastructure varies wildly - New Delhi areas are better than Old Delhi. Air quality, crowds, traffic chaos, and limited accessibility make this extremely difficult. However, Indian culture absolutely worships children, and you'll find help everywhere. This requires maximum flexibility and carrier-only planning.
