[blparent] Blind walking with strollers

[Michael Baldwin]

We recently purchased a Radio Flyer wagon with seats in it.  The one seat
can be in a few different positions, so I can use it to haul my 2 year old,
and my 3 month old in her car seat. Or lately I have gone to wearing the 3
month old, and the 2 and 4 year old ride in the wagon. It has soft wheels
and is made form plastic, so it is not as noisy to pull as a metal wagon.
 I know this don't help much with the pulling stroller, but is an
alternative method.

I've posted an article once or twice about pulling a stroller while working
a guide dog, but I would guess you could use a cane as well.  Should I post
the article again?  It should be in the archives.  To tell the truth, I
never tested how well the technique would work because I found it easier to
just carry my daughter in my free arm till she got big enough to walk and
hold my hand.
