Napping in the stroller

I have been putting Emilia down for naps in her stroller because she refuses to go to sleep for some reason and I thought the stroller might help. I have walked hours and hours in an infinite loop around my living room, and well, it worked maybe for 3-4 times but she is now crying as soon as I put her in the stroller and she doesn't want the canopy to cover the stroller. She wants to see my face and the light! So now I am back to nursing her to sleep and then sneaking her into her playpen or crib. I at at a loss for solutions to her sleep problems that have been on-going since she turned 3 months old.

*** Actually the best way to help her sleep without tears is to wear her in a baby sling called "maman kangarou" (a Canadian product). Normally she will fall asleep in 10-15 minutes. However undoing the sling and taking her out of it is very very tricky and 90% of the time I end up waking her up while taking off the sling and putting her in the crib (since I am only 5'3" and the crib is too high for me to hurdle with the sleeping baby in my both hands).
