Seedlings need to be hardened off. Hardening off plants means introducing them gradually to the outdoor envirement. The best method to harden plants is to move them outdoors on a mild day. Hopefully on a mild and cloudy one. Leave the plants in partial shade protected from wind. Allow them more and more direct light and wind each day.
