[blparent] on public transportation with a baby

[Tatyana]

Erin and Bran, thank you.  Of course, It's all depends on situation, most 
likely I'll be having  the baby in carrier, but just in case I needed to 
know where and how  I can put a stroller on a bus . I just thought there may 
be some place on a bus where   wheelchairs are strapped or buckled- I don't 
know how exactly it works. I just saw how a driver helpt a guy in a 
wheelchair to do it. Would it be same thing with a stroller? Folding might 
not work, since my both  arms wouldn't  be free. I don't use a bus too 
often, and when I see parents with kids, usually they are older ones, not 
babies, so I'm trying to guess.

Thank you.
Tatyana.
