Strollers apparetnly are annoying at malls!?

Question

My next question is for the actual huge stroller people.?
Why? Why so big? What happend to carrying or hand holding? Are you nice or mean with your double occupancy wide stroller? Isn't it just as hard to put all that crap back in the car as it is to take what you need?

Answer 1

I hate the double wide strollers too. If you do need a double there are so many other strollers out there that are the same size as a single. And so many moms take way too much crap with them. I have a 5 mo old and a 22 month old, plus my sister has a 1,3,4, and 5 year old, when we go out, I can get everything I need in my diaper bag. Which is the size of a largish purse.

Answer 2

I think the double wides are the stroller equivalent of Hummers driving thru parking lots. For some reason people who drive Hummers and people with double wide strollers are both rude and completely ignorant of basic traffic laws. BTW there is an actual H3 stroller on the market, and a Jeep stroller.

Answer 3

OMG I AGREE!!!! i thought i was the only one that felt way. i swear! the limo strollers are ridiculous. they take up so much room. you could put a bouncy in the back of those things. charge an entrance fee. show a movie on the side. another way to flaunt pretentiousness. when my kids were stroller age, we had a simple single wide umbrella stroller and tossed the backpack on. easy in easy out.

Answer 4

Apparently taking one child out in public must now be supported with more gear than an expedition to Mount Everest. Do we really need strollers that are approximately the same size as the car that I drive. Really do you need more than two diapers a bottle and a change of clothes? That's one small bag and a little hamock strung betwen four wheels.

Answer 5

Annoying to whom? You are obviously not a young mother, trying to shop with one, two or three little ones. The mall is a big place. The children don't enjoy the walk after a short period of time. And why would a young mother want to have to run out to the car ever so often to put her packages in the car, only to have someone steal them out of her car. Strollers are mother and baby friendly. Give them a break.

Answer 6

I have 8-month-old twins. I didn't ask for twins; I just had them. You try to carry two 20-pound babies and their stuff at the same time, for as long as it takes to buy something at the mall. If the weight weren't impossible for a 95-pound person like me, the manipulation of them, while trying to purchase something, would be.

It's not about being nice or mean; it's about being able to go somewhere and get errands done when you have more than one child under walking age. Try to think about other people.

Answer 7

I have 2 small kids, 1 is 17 months and weighs 26 pounds and the other is 4 years old and weighs 36 pounds. When they get tired I invite you to carry them both around a mall!!!!! plus their sweaters plus their milk or juice bottles, the diapers in case, a few toys, your handbag and anything you have bought.
I only weigh 130 pounds myself.
Try to be more tolerant of parents with small kids - they too want to get out there and enjoy shopping as best they can.

Answer 8

I know what you mean. Especially at wal-mart! The damn aisles are so narrow and women just push the stroller in the middle like they own it.

Answer 9

I have seen people with DOGS in strollers. Oh the humanity. It's hard not to wish awful things upon these people.

Answer 10

Haven't they heard of babysitters? If they have $ for the mall, surely they have $ for a sitter. Just one Mama's opinion!
