Anyone tackled this problem with success? I live in a Florida neighborhood that has an HOA in place. Over time, speeding has grown out of control. Since most of the residents are the speeders, they aren’t too interested in stopping it!

We’ve been able to get speed traps, etc which have sadly netted many excessive speeding tickets on 25MPH residential roads. Yes, people routinely whiz past baby strollers, pets, and kids doing 40+ on NARROW residential streets with no sidewalks.

Lately, I just can’t stand it. I drive all around the city in my line of work and my neighborhood is one of the worst! If you drive anything close to the speed limit they just tailgate the !@#% out of you. I’ve gotten in road rage within a block of my house! Even more ironic is that this neighborhood has a number of police as residents.

I’ve been told that I should hammer on the HOA to get speed bumps, more signage, etc as the “internal” streets are really their responsibility. TIA for any ideas!

Can a hand brake be added to my baby stroller?

Rainy asked:


I am an inline skater who would like to take their baby along for the ride. I have a jogging stroller however it does not have a hand brake (like on a bicycle, not like the emergency brake on most strollers). Is there any way that I could add a hand brake to my existing stroller? Has anyone done this? Or should I just consider it a loss and pay up the $150 bucks for yet another stroller? Any input would be fabulous! Thank you
I have googled the question without much luck. I’m just looking to see if anyone else has had similar experience and what they found or suggestions they may have :-)

Could my stroller fly around the Subaru SUV back during an accident & hit the baby’s carrier. How to prevent?

I have a very compact baby stroller and there is no ‘built in’ way to tie it down in the back of my Forrester (Subaru). I am not sure the best way to secure it to prevent it from being dislodged during a car accident.
