Sleeping in stroller

My daughter is 16 months now and she has been sleeping in the stroller (night and day naps) for a few months already. She refuses to sleep in crib or bed. She will Only sleep in the stroller, strapped in. My question is, is there anything wrong with her continuing to sleep that way? Is is bad for her physically? Meaning, will it hurt her back or any other physical...??
I don't mind her sleeping in the stroller until she is old enough for a bed if it is not detrimental for her development..,,
She is already walking and doing everything...

Hey my opinion on all sleep idiosyncrcies is, if they're sleeping, don't interfere!

My first liked to sleep in his car seat as an infant. At the time I was with a really dogmatic doctor who read me the riot act about babies MUST learn to sleep in cribs, but he didn't really have any good reason for it. My next pediatrician said why not?

If your baby won't transition from the stroller, you can always buy her a lazy boy for her bedroom!

my first went through a stage (around age 1) where she still needed a nap and wouldn't take it unless we strapped her in to her stroller, let her scream a little, and then she fell asleep.
But ALL night EVERY night? I don't know....
