This is going to sound silly...
How do I get up a flight of stairs at the train station with a pushchair?
I have a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old. I have moved house but not changed our childminder. As her house is 10 minutes from my work. I have booked my driving test for 3 months time as I literally haven't been able to get one sooner.
So for the next 3 months. I have a 20 minute train journey to work and I drop the kids off at the childminder on the way. There is no step free access at the station. So I have to go up 1 steep flight of stairs.
I will absolutely not take the double pushchair. Impossible. Happy to have 1 year old in the sling. And 2 year old in the pushchair but how do I get up the stairs 😫😫😫 I didn't realise there was no step free access.

You sure there’s nothing? Like a lift? Or anything? Anyway, you can have the 1yo in the sling, your 2yo can go up the stairs by himself and you can close the pushchair and bring it up the stairs (you could do it even if you leave it open it’s just easier if you close it).

If there is no step free access you might be able to ask for assistance (assuming the station has a person)

honestly it’s shocking how few stations are wheelchair accessible. Think it’s around 50% now. Wheelchair users often have to take longer routes to use accessible stations, ask for people to carry them up staircases (not really a solution! But sometimes the only way) or use bus routes and taxis.
