[blparent] two completely unrelated questions

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I believe several people on the list have bought double-seat wagons that 
work well for traveling with two small children.

Hello:

My name is Agnes and I am a parent who is visually impaired with 2 children,
my son who is now 5 and a daughter who is 17 months old.  One of the best
techniques that I have learned with traveling, is to carry my daughter in a
baby carrier.  I carry her in the front and hold my son's one hand and a
cane with the other.  Since my daughter is going to evenutally grow out of
the carrier, are there any other suggestions for travel?
