[blparent] car seats and strollers recommendations

Tue May 13 03:51:49 UTC 2014

A couple of things I found helpful as a blind parent was a talking themometer and a medicine serenge  marked with dots or indentions. I would say go ahead and buy  these ittems is because when there is an emergency or sudden situation you cann not ,at least in my experience, run to a store to pick up fully accessible ones.
