[tri-med] Re: please tell me about strollers

We had the KidKart, too, but like you it wasn't the greatest for short runs.  
We had a Convaid Cruiser and it was probably mine and Morgan's favorite.  It is 
lightweight and folds almost flat like an umbrella stroller.  If I ever had to 
get another one I would probably get one of the Convaid ones again.  You can 
get lots of supports for them, but they come off easily, too, so when she sits 
better you can gradually remove some of the supports.
We currently have the Axiom stroller that Jude said she didn't like much.  It 
is definitely bigger and bulkier and doesn't fold flat.  It is not for short 
runs.  We only use it when we are going to be out for all day or when we go to 
outside events that might be off pavement (in the grass or gravel roads.)  This 
stroller, even with the small swivel wheels on in front, goes very well off 
road.  
We paid for the Axiom ourselves.  The Convaid Cruiser we happened to get 2nd 
hand locally very, very cheap.  Our DME supplier says that our insurance (Blue 
Cross) rarely pays for strollers, if ever, and won't now because Morgan has a 
wheelchair.
