She is often seen walking by her mother's side on most occasions.

But Jessica Alba's four-year-old daughter Honor is still clearly fond of being pushed around in a stroller by the famous actress.

And it seems that the 31-year-old star may be struggling with the task at hand.

Struggling? Jessica Alba appeared to nearly lose control of a stroller, containing both four-year-old daughter Honor and eleven-month-old baby Haven, in New York today

The Fantastic Four star appeared to nearly lose control of the pusher, containing both her growing girl and eleven-month-old baby Haven, in New York today.

Crossing a set of lights, the buggy almost tipped over as Jessica put some muscle into the activity.

It appears that Honor is a tad too big for the particular double decker mode of transport Jessica was using today, and hardly fitted in the front carriage while her infant sister slept underneath.

The little girl's legs nearly reached the ground as Jessica wheeled her around.

The actress was taking her girls to the Hudson River Park for an afternoon stroll.

The group were also joined by a red-haired friend.

The actress, meanwhile looked summery for the outing, wearing a sleeveless white and tan polka dot blouse paired with beige trousers.

She accessorised the look with a wide-brimmed fedora hat, some strappy sandals and tortoiseshell sunglasses.

As the group reached the river and Jessica and her friend took in the sights, Honor still didn't get out of the buggy, and rather looked out at the view from her seat.

Blue rimmed sunglasses and stylish black and white heels completed the look.

Jessica recently appeared on daytime talk show The View to discuss her new endeavour The Honest Company, which she co-founded to provide non-toxic baby and family home products.

As she recently revealed, Honest just received B Corporation Certification, meaning, according to its website that it 'harnesses its power and resources for public good.'

Jessica explains on the website: 'When I became a mom, I finally became the person I am, that I always should have been. It’s the most satisfying job in the world.'
