Yes other companies do allow it but Lancashire United apparently have a policy of not allowing some buggies and wheelchairs. It was a three wheel buggy (not a coachbuilt pram) which other bus companies allow on but LU say they are unstable. The H&S guy says they are not unstable because if they were they wouldn't have been allowed to be sold. LU insist the mother buys a new buggy. H&S bod says she shouldn't have to.

Good innit?
