[blparent] Blind walking with strollers

[Leslie Hamric]

Hi Graham.  I take my little boy out in the stroller all the time while
using my cane.  I have a stroller with a reversible handle so I can pull it
behind me.  That way, my cane will hit obstacles before the stroller does.
Fortunately, I was able to get my stroller from a friend for free but I know
that's not always the case.  These kind of strollers are expensive but well
worth it in the long term.  Hth

Hi all, 

I have sort of blind parenting question. 

There are many a times that I will want to take my daughter out in the
stroller, but I am blind. How does a person blind push their little one
around in a stroller if they need to have a cane in front of them while
walking.

I heard something about the parent straps themselves to the stroller and the
stroller is now behind them and can use your cane in front of you. There an
official name or product that is this strap. How would I go about finding
one? Any help would be appreciated.

the rough places smooth.  These are the things I will do; I will not forsake
them." -- Isaiah 42:16
