[blparent] Step 2 buggy

[Lisamaria Martinez]

Hey Erin,

I'm assuming the buggy is best for walking around the neighborhood and
similar places, right? I'm also assuming that perhaps this isn't the
best mode of transportation for a kid on a train or bus?

I have no clue what this thing looks like. I'm trying to plan for the
day that Erik doesn't sit in the stroller for so long. I'm afraid that
he's getting close to outgrowing his stroller. Is that even possible?
His feet are already resting on the foot rest. He's getting to be a
better walker but he's no way ready to walk many blocks from BART to
daycare. I've thought of getting something that is easy to pull behind
when he needs to sit and maybe by end of summer he can walk when he's
antsy.

He's really starting to hate the stroller--especially in the
afternoon. Books and toys don't hold his attention much any more
because all he wants is out. Holding him in my lap is a workout
because he's twisting and turning to look at everything and whining to
get down on the floor. The other day, I let him stand up on the BART
floor when most of the commuters had left the train. I held onto his
arm and he was so happy to stand up and just ride BART like a grownup.

Anyhow, I'm just trying to find alternatives for keeping him tied down
for long periods. Sorry for my pathetic stroller woes.
