Carrier for toddler?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a carrier that would suit a toddler.
My son is 2 1/2 years old and it has become extremely difficult to get exercise done or go for walk with him now.
He won't stay in the pram anymore and refuses to walk 50 meters after taking him out of the pram - which results in me carrying him with one arm and pushing the pram with the other.
I like to take him with me as I feel guilty that I'm going for a nice walk without him haha
Any ideas on good carriers that aren't bulky that can comfortably carry a toddler 14kg+

Could you buy a little bike with a handle you can push, you can strap him into? We are about to get one quite cheap from target...

Tula Toddler! I carried my now 3yo in it - very comfy, Ergo-style carrier but wider for excellent support.

I know you can get bigger carriers from camping and hiking stores. I would also suggest a little bike where he can just sit and you can push him. Or maybe give him an ipad or a book or a toy while he in the pram? However if he's not wanting to stay in the pram he's probably bored and doesn't really want to be on the walk in the first place lol so i wouldn't feel bad about leaving him behind. He'll probably have more fun at home playing with his toys anyway! And sometimes it can be good for you to just get out by yourself for once and have some mummy alone time :) are you doing it to be fit? you can always join a gym with a creshe?

Really? An ipad for a 2.5 year old?

My 2 year old and my 4 year old fit beautifully in my toddler sized tula carrier, I got mine second hand. It is the best and so comfortable!
