    To prevent the stroller from rolling down, have it facing the same way you would have it if you were going up the escalator (behind you instead of in front of you with the stroller facing upwards). Apply the breaks of stroller and hold it steady with both of your hands. Keep an eye out when you reach the bottom of the escalator and exit fast.

    If you can, take your child out and hold them while balancing the stroller next to you. However, a different and unsafe way would be to balance the back wheels on the step and use your strength to keep it straight. Use the back wheels as leverage to help you keep it even. Make sure you don't tilt and also that no one is in front of you, or check with them to see if it's okay if you do this.

    Use the elevators instead, because they are a lot easier and safer. It means slightly longer but it's safer.

    Can this be done with a special stroller or a wheelchair?

    Yes, it can. You will need to remove the person from the special stroller or wheelchair and carry it separately.
