The 3-wheel "Bob" Stroller - for babes; what about the elderly?<\/p><\/div>\n

The sporty strollers like the “Bob” above, are not quite big enough for elderly folk.\u00a0 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? \u00a0 Is it age segregation?\u00a0 Is it denial of the fact that we’re aging, or what?\u00a0 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!).<\/p>\n

My mother is 85 years old.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 She still gets out every day because she wants to but she cannot walk very far anymore.<\/p>\n

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?\u00a0 Of course, and why not?<\/p>\n

I did\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
