Plano area SAHMs: Strollerskating

If you're looking for something different to do, may I suggest strollerskating? It's on Thursdays 9am-noon at Thunderbird Lane in Plano (off Parker & 75). I go just about every week; sometimes with my mom, sometimes by my lonesome. It's $4 if anyone's interested.

    How cool does that look. I might be a disaster, but it would be fun to try. DD would be safe in her stroller even if I bit it right?

    DH bought me skates last month and I did this at the park a few times.   Can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can go out more.

    as long as you don't tip her over! Kidding aside, having the stroller to push actually helps you keep your balance; think of it like old people using a walker!

    Get a Bob Revolution jogging stroller - it's the best on the market and would be able to handle the streets and trails around Dallas (some of the trails are not well maintained and have a lot of debris - sticks, rocks, litter).  A regular stroller is not built to go the speeds that you will get on skates, even if you think you are on a "flat" surface.  You will also need the brakes that a jogging stroller has; if you do not know how to brake properly then you are in for a world of hurt, and you'll hurt your child too.  Wear a helmet (Gyro bike helmets are the best), wear wrist guards and kneepads too, because helmet hair is easier to fix than a cracked skull, broken wrist or dislocated knee.   I'm a former inline skate instructor and I've skated for over eight years; I've seen a LOT of injuries (and have the scars from mine as well) and I'm not just trying to be alarmist.
