How do you handle a newborn and a stroller in a walkup apartment?
Answers:
Take the baby up first, baby is more important than anything else, or buy a light stroller and carry both together, if you feel tired rest in the mid way, hopefully some gentlemen will help.
Or get a baby carrier to hold the baby to you and you have the free hand to carry the stroller.
Other Answers:
Get one of the cheap strollers that folds up really tiny (like from Wal-mart, they cost like $15). Practice opening it one-handed. Carry it down in one hand and the baby in the other. Once you get downstairs, open the stroller, put the baby in it and away u go. It's a lot harder when you get back from your outing though, even the little strollers are hard to fold up one-handed.
take the stroller down first and go get baby. i have to do that all the time. make sure when you take the stroller down the only thing you have to do is go get baby and lock the door.
4 me i put my baby in his car seat and carry it in the crack of my elbow,on my left arm,therefore both my hands are free,and i would carry the stroller w my rite hand.it can be done.
They have small frames at Wal Mart.com that just hold the infant seat and weigh about 5 lbs. I would get one of those. It is important that you don't strain yourself too much since a fall down the stairs could be dangerous for you and your babe.
Lol I had the same problem... I usually carried the baby up in the stroller, it was a workout beleive me lol I
I'd make sure to get a baby carrier. The one you have your baby on you. That I think would make it easier. Good Luck.
Do you absolutely need the stroller? Have you considered using a baby sling (or other carrier) instead of the stroller most of the time? It doesn't make it more difficult to get up and down the stairs the way a stroller does. It is easier to get through narrow doorways and through crowds, too.
I have two month old twins and my way of doing this is.. I leave the stroller in the trunk so all I have to do is take the twins up the steps.
