[blparent] umbrella strollers

[Brandy W]

I've never had luck with an umbrella stroller. They don't pull strait. I
also think I stand out enough as a blind person, no I don't anything to
hide, but we already are noticed and to be pulling an umbrella stroller
tipped back behind us to make it work just really looks weird. I either ware
babies, pull them with a reversible handled stroller, or use a snap and go
where the car seat can be on top and pull it by the handle.

We looked at some umbrella strollers, at honestly, they seemed like they
would be harder to pull, due to the lack of a centralized handle. Are they
easier to deal with than they seem?

Thanks,

Angie
