Stroller etiquette

[Dismama2boys]

I honestly don't see people at Disney ramming others with strollers. I'm sure it happens, but aggressive stroller operators are in the minority, I believe. I do think people get accidentally rammed when they cut in front of one, and assume it was malice on the part of the stroller operator, when it was merely an object in motion staying in motion.

I totally agree with this.

Old People forget how it is to parent and young people haven't experienced it yet. As long as you think you're doing the right thing, I'd let it roll off your back and enjoy yourself. I very rarely find strollers to be a problem there. Now my mom terrorized all of WDW with a ECV about 10 years ago but we don't bring her now.

I totally agree with this.

Sure it's not deliberate, but I do think some people are just "clumsy" stroller drivers. My husband was one, and after he rammed HARD into my ankles 4 times in about 10 minutes and tore the skin off so bad I was limping all day, I had to permanently revoke his stroller pushing privileges. I was not cutting in front; he just never paid attention and would be looking off to the side or at his phone so wouldn't notice when the foot traffic started to slow up ahead. So I have some sympathy for people who say that bad-stroller-drivers are a real thing--they sometimes are--but so are people who only have themselves to blame because they cut sideways suddenly in front a stroller without looking.

The common theme: when in a crowd, whether with or without a stroller, it's always good to pay attention to your surroundings to avoid getting hurt or hurting others.

Hahaha, stroller etiquette is one of those oxymorons like "military intelligence". *walks off, shaking her head laughing*
