Fair play to the reader who commented that they should be folded down though. The space could've been filed up already and she wouldnt have been able to get on without folding it down or waiting for the next one. Or she could've got a taxi if she was that concerned about the cold and her baby.

The policy is unfair in the sense that a 3 wheeled pram is not unstable compared to a four wheeled pram, thats like saying reliant robins are unsuitable for the road and you still see the odd one of them out and about doing fine with the 4 wheeled cars!

I think they were just trying to find excuses for not letting as many prams on the bus, and to be honest, you see so many mothers putting their prams into the buggy bit the wrong way that no wonder the bus drivers are concerned. If they crash and the buggy isnt in the right way, or they havent crash tested with a 3 wheeled buggy to make sure the baby will be ok then who's going to be to blame. I'd be shocked if anyone pointed at the mother.
