My daughter’s 3 and I still use it quite often. She doesn’t like going in the pushchair but it’s not her choice. I just strap her in and let her protest. She tends to wander off in shops, but this behaviour is getting better as she gets older. She has so much natural curiosity which is great, but sometimes I just don’t have time! I can also sympathise with the slow walking, my daughter stops to smell every flower and turn over every stone! It can be infuriating when I’m in a hurry lol
My eldest daughter sat in the double pushchair until she was nearly 4 for the same reason - wandering off; my son (2nd born) was almost 3 when I stopped using with him, but he would always stay near me.

My son is 3.1 and we still use it for his nap - he still has a 2 hour one every day. He doesn't really use it other than that.

We took it with us on "full days-out" till she was 4.5, but we live in a city and do not use a car, so there is a LOT of walking involved. I wanted days out to be fun, not knackering, so there needed to be somewhere for her to crash when she got tired.

When we stayed with my parents in the suburbs and had access to a car, the buggy was used less and less from age 2. Depends on what you are doing that day, though. A trip to the zoo (including taking a picnic with you) can be more pleasant with a buggy.
