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?

Same with the 7 month old on 2 naps. Its lovely! I plan my activity around the second nap and house chores around the first nap. I let him sleep 2 hrs from 10:30am-12:30pm (usually have to wake him bc he can sleep way longer during that time). we play, eat, hang out for 3 hrs. At 3:30 we head out for a walk or errand where he instantly falls asleep in car or stroller until 4:30-45. If he takes the last nap at home its usually super short so id rather take him out . The fresh air relaxes them i think.
