[blParent] Using cane / dog with stroller

[Judy Jones]

Hi, very true, the umbrella stroller does not have storage, but we only used it for walks, and when we had trips to make, used the frame pack that did have storage.

I don't remember what we used but went to a store that sold lots of strollers and tried them out.  Some strollers won't go backwards very well.  The ability to turn was very limited.  Finally we found one that did go backwards and turned very well.  I think there are models that do allow you to put the handle in front of the stroller so the baby is facing forward but I never found any of them.
By the time my daughter was three, I just held her hand and we walked with the occasional, "I'm tired daddy."  So I carried her.
Wish I had a more definite stroller to recommend.

Thanks Ken, yes I may have been unclear in my earlier email. I have such a carrier that works for now. My concern is how I will manage when he’s too big / heavy for me to carry (i am pretty petite) And I want to use the stroller. Actually there are already times when I’d like to use the stroller for various reasons.

We chose to get the one that straps on the front of you. Your child can sit in this either facing you or the can be facing outwards. WE got ours from Walmart and we still have it today even though we don’t use it anymore. I need to get it out and see if it has an expiration date on it cause if not a local family that i know can use it. I am also a dog user and a cane user, this worked very well for us and it allowed me to still carry my children, work my guide or use my cane and also be able to carry the infant seat with me in times when i needed it as well.
