[blparent] First time mom with many questions!

[Judy Jones]

Greetings from a blind mom whose kids are grown.

The car seat we had had a handle at the foot and a handle a the top.  These 
handles would swing up over the car seat and you could carry it like a suit 
case in one hand.

The stroller to have is the unbrella handle stroller.  It folds up nicely 
and the handles come up from the back and curve upward at the ends like an 
umbrella.

This stroller is very easily pulled behind you when either using a cane or 
dog guide.  Take care maneuvering corners, doorways, curb cuts, and any 
uneven pavement.  But you will find this very easy.

Judy

Hi all,

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in April, and we’re super 
excited. I’ve been a member of the NFB most of my life and have had a good 
amount of experience with babies, but this preparing for baby thing is way 
more overwhelming than I thought. The internet almost makes it worse. There 
are about 3263 things I’m supposed to put on my registry, not to mention 
that most things don’t come with a “great for blind parents” disclaimer. 
Anyway, any tips about necessary gear or useful blindness specific products 
would be amazing! I’ll take any advice, but my numero uno priority is an 
infant carseat that’s light and sturdy without a base since neither of us 
drive, and a good stroller with an easy fold.

I’m excited to hear from everyone and to get to know you.

Best,
Briley
