[blparent] O&M advice

Hi,

Jogging strollers don't seem to work well when pulling them behind you and having them backwards. I have a jogging stroller that I absolutely love and it's very easy for me to maneuver it with one hand while I walk next to it using my cane. I also pull  the sun cover down and curl my fingers around the front edge and pull the stroller behind me if it's a narrow spot. 

I don't know if that makes sense but don't  give up the jogging stroller and just use the carrier. My son weighed 20 bs and was 27 inches when he was six months old. I had a carrier that can hold kids up to 35 pounds too, but he was so tall it began to be very awkward to carry him in the front. And, I didn't quite like the back carry. Strollers should be one more tool in your toolbox. Okay for now, I am off my soapbox.

The O&M specialist has also come up with the thought of using a baby carrier and I found one online that actually goes up to 35 LBS if the stroller idea doesn't work for me. Which I know starting to think that the stroller may not work for me the way it needs to. Because I did a trial run with it using it for taking a donation of some items that I donated somewhere I tried pulling it behind me and it didn't work very well.
