As a disabled woman I am in the uncomfortable position of having to take a disabled seat on transit and in the last few years, have noted an increase in the number of people bringing strollers on transit I have to confess that I support this trend and believe that people have every right to bring a stroller on transit - if they need one for their child. However it seems that children upwards of 3 or 4 years old are being forced to use the strollers even if they resent them and try to get out of them at every possibility. I have seen children confined to strollers simply because the parent or accompanying adult wanted to use their cell phone and keep the child confined to allow them to avert their eyes and attention. Sometimes, I see the parent hand the child a cellphone or tablet, and I wince but say nothing. I think they should be charged with child abuse for the way they are exposing their children to the device. I am really happy to be older than these people because I do not have to live long enough to see their maladjusted children grow up to fail as they have done. On the other hand where successful educated parents are using strollers to confine and "protect" their children instead of teaching them to walk and take responsibility for their own little selves I think they should realize that they are living in a bubble and that they are lousy parents as well. Back in the sixties and seventies most families did not want to have their kids in strollers -- children walked and were more healthy than today. Kids feel embarrassed in strollers past a certain age and of course, they take up so much room in the bus on skytrain and on streets -- parents I wish you would learn to have your kids walking and mobile by age 3 or 4 unless they truly need a wheelchair. Otherwise they might easily end up in one if they are afraid to exert themselves at all. Remember, walking is good for you.
