I love my sister in law, but she is a little out there. I cannot imagine what she would come up with. Is there a way that I could suggest that I would rather for one of my sisters or my best friend do it. I know if she does it, I will probally end up with a baby stroller with spinners and a system, with little 8 balls hanging from the handle. No Thanks

deetrosa asked: In the past few years, baby strollers have gotten larger and larger in size. When I was a kid, or even a teenager (I’m 25 now) they used to be little seats on wheels. Now they are portable beds with multiple storage units. I understand people want babies to be safe, and these larger strollers offer that, but all reasons aside, you have to agree baby strollers are significantly larger than they used to be 10, 15 years ago.
My hometown is one that is very blue collar, and the public bus system is heavily relied upon by many people. They are always packed during peak hours (people standing) and usually never under half capacity. When people bring their baby strollers on the bus, there is no designated area for them and they literally take up the entire aisle. People have great difficulty getting by them (especially with bags or if they are elderly) and they take up a good 4 or 5 spots where people could stand (during peak hours, those people have to wait for next bus)
So my question is what is the solution? I know families with babies need the bus too, and a stroller for when they get off, but they are taking up space of 4-5 people and often forcing other riders to get the next bus. Should they use smaller strollers for the bus? Let people be inconvenienced because they have a right to the bus as well?
I am curious of your opinion/solution for this problem. Thanks!
i agree the buses should have designated spots for strollers but keep in mind a city can’t change its entire fleet of buses in a few years, or even a decade
vienna v, you are delusional. re-read my entire question before you say asinine things.

Glenn T asked:
I accidentally left my baby stroller in a town park’s parking lot. I did not put it in the car after I took my baby out and I drove off. (I was a bit sleep deprived). When I discovered it missing, I went back to see if it might still be there, maybe someone kindly would have pushed it aside, under the pavillion.It was gone, of course. I contacted the town’s Park and Rec in hopes someone honest might have turned it in. I even contacted the police to see if they might have it in their possession. What gives people the right to not TRY and be honest? There were options for that but someone chose to steal the stroller anyhow. I am just wondering what you would do if you saw an item like that? I just feel sorry for the child that is put in that stroller because their parent is such a low-lifer to be dishonest.
I left contact info. with town’s Park and Rec as well as town police. They said they’d keep their eye for it in case some kids just were playing with it and shoved it in some bushes. I hung signs and put an ad in the paper. It’s very disheartening that people in this world do this. In this area where I live, I find it hard to believe that a person could be that desparate…I live in a “nicer” area of the community. I know all walks of life steal, unfortunately.
Yes, I would have most likely just left a stroller there , too, if I had seen it in the parking lot. I would have figured someone just left it there accidentally and would be back for it. I might have moved it out of the way, esp. if there was a shelter at the park,or pushed it near a tree. I would NEVER have taken it for it did not belong to me. I might have contacted the park and rec to tell them in case someone reported it missing. This is an uncommon item to be just “left”. As for being sleep deprived, I bet most mothers with small children are sleep deprived. The park was only down the street from where I live. I have five children, total, so along with that I was probably distracted by one of the others after getting the baby in car and completely forgot to put the stroller in the car. Could happen to anyone. ( But you can bet I don’t talk on a cell phone while driving for the person who was a bit disturbed that I was sleep deprived!!)

Brothaman asked:
It is really bad in shopping malls. The women will run over you and not apologize. They will not look where they are pushing the stroller, they think that they always have the right away.
