baby strollers and wheelchairs

[+Nader60]

Is it possible to search for only those geocaches that are wheelchair and/or baby stroller accessible?

[+SSO JOAT]

Yes. You can either make a PQ and specify those attributes be present or you can use GSAK and filter for those attributes.

I did a google search and quickly found this bookmark list.

 

Betting you can find more that way. Found some other pretty super bookmarks that way too!

I doesn't really answer your question but I know of a few geocachers that bring small children along in one of those child backpacks like this one:

 

 

The kids seem to be having a good time and the terrain that the parents could negotiate was pretty significant.

Got the baby back pack, rather use a stroller, easier to trade off.

The pocked query worked perfectly. I have 18 places I supposedly can take the stroller. Thanks so much.

When setting up your query, terrain level 1 would indicate accessible from the pathway. 1.5 would indicate a step or two off most of the time.

I just skimmed the first page, but about half the caches were archived. Does that mean people think they can't hide a well-hidden cache and also have it be wheelchair accessible?

Doh! Hope they don't think that! As soon as I read this my mind started turning on some great specifically themed puzzle ideas for terrain 1.

I have found that there aren't many caches I can't get a stroller to, with a little determination and a friend to help. Most of my finds prior to early 2009 were done with a stroller.

We use a stroller for ones that are longer hikes and then my DS either walks or we carry him whatever distance is left. The problem with weeding out ones that aren't listed as being accessible is that you will miss a lot of good caches that you could do without much trouble. I have a sling that is great for carrying my son while I cache. If it's a longer walk and worth getting the stroller out I will just toss it in the bottom in case I need it. It's easy to slip on and slip him in to save my arms. When he was smaller and lighter I carried him for miles very comfortably in it. So many caches are less than 100' off the trail and very easy to do with a young child but you'd be hard pressed to get a stroller them. Those are some of the best.
