We had an infant stroller, which DD is now too big for, we got at a yardsale for $5, which we used on occassion (more to put food underneath the basket at the grocery store than anything else). We don't own a car so whenever we go out we have DD in her carrier, I'd say, 99% of the time.
DH hasn't figured out how to put our carrier on by himself, so in the very rare instances when he has DD out and about by himself he'll use an umbrella stroller (again, we picked this up at a yardsale for $5 too!). So yeah, we do use strollers but so rarely that it wasn't worth it to buy anything expensive, just yardsales stuff. We are thinking about getting a jogging stroller so it'll be easier for me to work out since I work at home a lot and would love to get a run in but we haven't decided for sure.
We bought one of those convertible cribs that can turn into a full size bed. Then you don't feel bad if you don't use it too much (although DD takes all her naps in the crib unless I take one with her). We also always put her down for the night in the crib and then after that she comes into bed with us (it's nice to have some private time in your bed too!).
