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

[Erin Rumer]

Hello,

It really comes down to personal preference and we can bombard you with what
we like the most but I really advise that you go the stores and really feel
the different products out for yourself to see what you like the most.
Bring a doll along that you can put in the carriers and strollers and that
will help you get an idea for how things will feel and work.  So you aren't
left completely in the dark here, I advise that you just get a stroller that
turns on a dime and has good quality tires.  As for the carriers out there,
you'll want something strong and will allow you to use it for a long time.
The Ergo Baby carriers are extremely popular now and you can pretty much
keep your child in it until you can't carry them anymore.

Happy shopping,

Erin

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.
