Don't use a stroller.Buy a sling/baby carrier.It will make your life so much easier.

Buyin a baby sling or backpack will greatly help the situation because it will give you both hands to help you toddler! Start taking her out now and walking up and down the steps holding your hand and in a month or so she will be a pro at the stairs... practice makes purfect. They also have the strollers that come with the big kid step... that way that toddler can stand on a step and ride on the stroller but I am not sure how this would be on an esculator!

Get one of those baby carriers you put on your back then you can still carry your daughter when needed and you've got both hands to help her.
If you really want to use a pram when out and about, check out which tubes have lifts and see if you can plan your journey to use those stations. Most train (although not all tubes) stations have lifts as well to accomodate disabled passengers.

Well, first if you are travelling by air so many airlines offer (Meet & Assist) service once you are at the terminal they will send a person o help you till you reach your destination. from A to B. But if this service doesn't exist buy the baby sling it's very easy to handle the baby & also there is another ones for bigger babies. I'd my friend was carrying her baby 2 years in this Asian slings available in so many stores & on line. You'll have your hands free for one of them so u can carry anyone of them or use the trolley ... Good luck & travel safe.

Somewhere, there's probably an elevator tucked away for people in wheelchairs. Have a hunt for it; ask somebody to point it out... There's got to be one if even just for maintenance purposes.
Alternatively:
Ask for help. From a transport employee, from a likely-looking grandma-type.
Nuts to a pram. Get a baby carrier/sling and strap the baby on.

Your toddler will learn the stairs quite quickly. Just give yourself lots of time at first for her to get used to it, and soon it will be a breeze. Also, when the baby comes, she might be even more driven to do it on her own anyway. i was like that before my sister came along, and it was like i grew up overnight! Just try to remember to make conversation and games with her and she'll be more interested in going, and not get bored. That's usually when problems arise in situations like that. good luck and congrats on the baby!

Definetly use a sling if possible. I find that a lot of the staff at the stations will help if you take the babies out they will carry the buggy up. If not if you stand and look desperate you will generally get help from a passerby. Make sure that the buggy you get is as light as possible.

Use a carrier for the baby that you strap onto yourself and hold your 2 year olds hand and carefully walk up and down the stairs. She'll get the hang of it and the baby won't be a problem because he/she will be stapped onto you.

try taking someone with u. that person could carry ur baby up the steps. u could even practise walking up the stairs with her to make life easier. a pregant ladt shouldn't carry heavy things. good luck wit ur new baby!

does she have a disablitlity that causes her to have so much trouble?
how far along are you in preg?
at 2 she is capable of walking up stairs while holding your hand. get a front carrier for the baby so that you can carry her and still have your hands free and hold your toddlers hand so that you can help her up the steps.
