[blparent] Flip handle strollers

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Jodi,

With most strollers, when you turn it around so you can pull it, the
child is facing away from you. Just try it with your stroller if you
have one. Flip handle strollers are exactly what they sound like;
instead of turning the entire stroller around to pull, the handle simply
moves forward so it now is near you, and the child is still facing the
same direction as you. Do you know what a pram is? It is like a pram;
the child faces the handle as opposed to typical strollers where the
handle is behind the child. Clear as mud, grin.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Hi. Maybe it's because I've never seen, but I don't understand how you 
can pull a stroller behind you and the stroller and the baby are still 
facing you. I like the idea of the stroller and baby facing you because 
the idea of pulling a stroller behind you with your baby in it always 
disturbed me for safety and security reasons. I always pictured a
kidnapping.
