The 3-wheel "Bob" Stroller - for babes; what about the elderly?

The sporty strollers like the “Bob” above, are not quite big enough for elderly folk.  I suggest somebody invent a stroller that is specifically designed for elderly folk if it ain’t invented yet OR the stroller is adaptable to accommodate babes, handicapped and the elderly; like, has the “baby boomer” generation forgotten about our parents?   Is it age segregation?  Is it denial of the fact that we’re aging, or what?  I know my mother would love to go on a hike, like out to the Boy’s Cub Scout area out Eagle River beach – it’s a beautiful walk any time of year in just about any weather (even a blizzard!).

My mother is 85 years old.  When she retired at the age of 65, she began to walk at least 6 miles every day; she walked steady and strong – even faster than her own kids – until 2 years ago when my father passed away, and shortly thereafter she cracked 3 vertebrae.  She still gets out every day because she wants to but she cannot walk very far anymore.

Wouldn’t you like to take your grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or anyone you know who is “handicapped” out for a stroll in the country – especially if the person would like that too?  Of course, and why not?

I did  a little research on line to see if strollers for elders have been invented yet; I didn’t find any – the closest thing were the sporty wheelchairs and that won’t do on our graveled Juneau trails.  If you know of any strollers out there for elders, please drop me a line – I want to take my mother out with us, and I’d like to post the info on this blog, thank you!
