Okay so how do you get your stroller through manual doors?
For example, if you go to the library, most of the doors are manual open and are a single door wide. So even though your stroller may fit through, most parents put them selves in an awkward pose while trying to hold the door and get the stroller through at the same time.
Some try opening the door with one hand, pushing the stroller through with the other with the body behind it. Even though most are able to do it, there’s a better way to do it.
Some try opening the door with their butt and pulling the stroller through front first, which is a bit hard to do.
So are there better ways to you get your stroller through doors?
Yes there are, but here are a couple of things that you should do before attempting these methods.
- Always check for a door stopper first. If there is one, use it, it will save you lot of hassle
- If you have a person nearby, do not hesitate to ask for help (most parents avoid asking for help)
So coming back to the various ways of getting your stroller through manual doors. Here are some methods that you can try.
The backward approach works for many. You can back the stroller up to the door, open the door, & pull the stroller through (backwards). A little tricky initially, but you will get the hang of it.
