Re: Buses do a U-turn?
A foldable buggy is a lot different to a pram designed for a newborn baby. Prams are a lot smaller these days than the old coach built prams but if it's a small baby then the pram (even if people call it a buggy) may well not be a fold downable one. When Mimi was a toddler, before Emz was born, I used to struggle with just her and a fold down buggy and some shopping. It's extremely difficult to hold onto a toddler and fold down a buggy. One time I was struggling to do so and the bus driver simply drove off and left us.
I'm a non-pram pusher these days but I know it's difficult when people try to fit more than one in the space(s) - I've been on the Fern Gore bus sometimes when there have been three - but my sympathies are still with the mothers. Even if people haven't had children of their own they sometimes seem to forget that they must have been children themselves once, even babies in prams.
