Hi, listers.

Melissa really has a point about feeling overwhelmed. I had a really
difficult time finding a stroller I could pull easily. By now I would
need a double stroller, but it almost feels too late; my daughters are
3-1/2 and 15 months old. Maybe I'll see if the Graco FlipIt model is
available as a double stroller. The point of my email is, it would be
tremendously helpful if those responding to Melissa's question mention
the model of stroller they're using and where they got it. These
questions come up from new parents all the time and while fellow blind
parents are well-meaning and extremely helpful, it's best to give them
information that's as complete as possible.

I'm thinking we should keep lists of tips and ideas to send out to new
parents when they request information so that it's easier and faster
to find out what they need to know. Sharon, do you have lists like
this already in connection with your parenting classes at Hadley?
