Stairs everywhere, stroller stuck
Parents push strollers into stair-only stations and dead-end sidewalks. Outings turn back halfway.
1. The problem
City parents plan outings that collapse at stair-only stations. Elevators break unannounced while ramps hide. Sidewalks end without curb cuts. Nap windows shrink as detours grow. The hardest part is step-free truth before leaving. A map might show routes that strollers cannot use. That uncertainty makes it hard to promise outings that work.
“Stations trap my stroller weekly with broken lifts. I need step-free routes with live elevator status.”
2. What exists
Google Maps accessible options, mom blogs and transit apps guide strollers, while parents scout manually. Mainstream maps mark some elevators unreliably. A blog might review one park, yet city-wide truth stays scattered. There is little help with stroller-first routing plus live elevator status and parent reviews.
3. The solution
The solution could be a stroller-truth layer for cities. It could route step-free with live elevator and lift status. It could rank parks by shade, gates and changing tables. Parent reports could refresh conditions daily. The goal would be outings that roll smoothly every time.
