[blparent] strollers

[Veronica Smith]

Tammy, she already has it so one thing she wondered if anyone had ever
switched the wheels from the back to the front?  
See, when G was little, I put a leash on the front of our stroller and
pulled her along, but we don't have side walks here so I didn't have to
worry if the stroller was tracking a straight line.  But you would have to
if you don't want to fall of the curb.

Hi,

As long as the stroller has a reversible handle you can pull it behind you. 
You just have to put the handle in it's reversed position so that the wheels
that swivvel are now at the front of the stroller just behind you so you can

turn the stroller easily.    There's a couple out there, the Graco flip it 
is the one I have and it's a dream to use.  There's also a discontinued
though still around moddel of the peg perego Venesia, not sure if I spelled
that right, that is a very good stroller.  It has 4 lockable wheels and a
reversible handle.  Some of the "conventional strollers are able to be
pulled but since their wheels at the back don't swivvel they're often
unstable and hard to turn especially as the child gets older.

A conventional stroller is almost impossible to use, they are harder to use
for sighted people as well.  I heard about getting a jogging stroller and
found one for a reasonable price on Craig's list but even that isn't as easy
as people made it sound.  I tride pushing it, pulling it ... My advice for
your friend ... get a backpack!!  Am very interested now to hear if any of
you have used strollers and how.

A friend of mine who is blind and is or was a member here has recently moved
to NM and at the moment doesn't have internet.  She asked me to throw out a
question to you.
Her baby, Sam, about 10 months now likes to go for rides in his stroller.
Mom says how does a blind mom push or pull a conventional stroller?

I dreamed I met God. He sneezed, and I didn't know what to say to Him.
