[blparent] strollers recommendations and going for a walk with a newborn

[Brandy W]

Most of us prefer to where children in baby carriers. Many like the Ergo's
and the Beco carriers. Strollers that seem to work well are the Graco Snap
and Go because you can attach your child's infant car seat to it and it
becomes a stroller eliminating the need for a place to put the carseat when
you arrive. It can also easily be pulled behind you. I recommend the Graco
35 for the infant carrier because when he outgrows that carseat he is able
to have a high back booster carseat. Another stroller is the Graco Flip
which the handle can flip to be pulled behind you. Others pull by trays, or
the sun shade of the stroller. A carrier for when your child is older is the
Kelty backpack. It has wheels for when you want to set it down, and holds
kids as old as 4 or 5 if your back can handle it.

Hope that helps some.

Hello all,
My little boy due is in three months and I think we need to start thinking
about baby stuff. If not getting it right now,  at least  to learn
everything about  it and keep in mind what we want when the due date is
closer.I would like to ask  you for your recommendations on strollers. Looks
like I would need to pool it behind me? Are any particular brands or models
for that purpose are the best?
What front baby carriers do you recommend? What features in strollers and
carriers I'd need to look for so it would be good for a baby and his blind
mom??  I've seen on the list someone mentioned some wagons, what is that?
And in general, what stuff I would need to consider besides strollers for
going for a walk with a baby? I mean, I just don't know if anything is
available on the market  that would work better  than a stroller for a blind
parent. Or may be some tricks and tips exist that I don't know. And my baby
will be born in November, so he's going to be a winter boy and enjoy  his
first walks in the Winter.

Sorry for  many questions, I'm clueless and hope very much  to hear your
advises and opinions.

Tatyana.
