Remembering back to that phase of my life . .

I should have invested in a lightweight stroller, probably, but didn't
-- and the stroller was heavy enough to get in and out of the car to put
stress on the hernia, so I didn't use it if we were going someplace in
the car.

We didn't do much "park" stuff during that phase, either -- I think I
had a walking-comfortably range of about 10 yards...
