[blparent] Buggies and canes

[Judy Jones]

No problem.  Depending on the kind of stroller you have, it can be very easy to do.  When our kids were young, we successfully used the umbrella stroller by tipping it slightly on the back wheels.  It is narrow, also folding, and was very easy to take places and fold when not in use.

Nowadays, there are other options I am not aware of since our kids are grown, so I'm sure many will chime in here on good options and methods.

Hi all,

I'm an NFB Member at Large living in the UK, and our first child - a daughter - was born on Friday.  I'm blind but my wife is a sightling.  Touch wood, all is going well so far.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to use a buggy while navigating with a cane.  The only thing I can think of is to pull the buggy behind me, a bit like I would with a wheeled suitcase, and ensure the cane ark is wide enough to cover the buggy.

Is this what others do or are there alternatives? I'll probably use a sling or a babycarrier for longer trips, but a buggy might be handy in some circumstances.

Apologies, I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but I can only work out how to browse and not search the archives.

Cheers,

Ed
