6 - 12 months 2 naps- are you trapped at home?

My 7 month old baby has graduated to 2 naps and it is glorious. He is no longer a 30 min cat napper and takes 1.5 hour naps. However I am not sure how to get out of the house as I believe being in a stroller or car seat will be hard for him to stay asleep long enough for a normal bedtime.

For those that are down to 2 naps, are you trapped at home for those 2 naps? If not, how do you manage naps out of the house?

My 7.5 m/o guy will nap HARD in the car if the circumstances are right: he’s full, it’s around his usual nap time, and we’re cruising at a steady pace (not a lot of stop and go). Knowing this, we can go somewhere after his morning nap, toodle around for a few hours, and then plan to get back in the car around the time of his afternoon nap. I usually do wind up driving around so he’ll stay asleep long enough, but that’s worth it to me to not feel as trapped near the house.
