Re: Stop,Drop and Floppers! :)

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

We just moved for the second time in 6 months, so I'm down to

actually reading only a few emails a day. I happened to click on

this one and couldn't agree more on the stroller issue! :}

Little Josh is a runner and has escaped from our home three times in

the last two weeks. I think we have him secure now, but are still

working on it since he's likely to figure it all out soon. Long,

long scarey story . . .

On the stroller . . . a lifesaver for me too. Josh has always been

perfectly content to lay down in the middle of an aisle anywhere we

go (or the middle of the parking lot) so I was homebound until the

local hospital told us where we could go to get one of those

oversized strollers on loan. When we got there and they wanted to

take a picture of Josh in his new chair, he wouldn't cooperate.

They finally said " just take a picture of mom - look at THAT

smile! " In reality they gave me my life back!

I can't recommend them more highly. The magical stroller lets us go

places we thought we would never see again. Medical appointments

are easier if they can do the exam while he sits in his chair.

(Please notice I said " easier " - it still takes four of us to hold

him down.)

Be sure to let us know when you get yours. I think both you and

will love it!

INSTEP jogging stroller for the last few years but it's on it's last

leg and he's getting too big. It has been a life saver though.

's neuro-ped told me she can get us a Maclaren Push chair and

I think I'm ready to ask for it. We go tomorrow to see her! I had

mixed feelings about getting it because it truly looks like

a " handicapped " chair, if you will. I think I need to get over

whatever feelings I'm having on that and just get it.
