[blparent] Buggies and canes

[Wendy Meuse]

Hi:  I found that pushing a buggy or stroller just did not work out.  Pulling the stroller behind me worked out grate both using a 
cane and a dog guide.  Congratulations.  The hardest thing I found was getting the stroller down the curbs.  Now mostly of course 
there are cut aways or ramps and that sure does make things easier.

Subject: [blparent] Buggies and canes


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
