Saw this blog post and thought it appropriate for a group of moms who not only maneuver the world with strollers on a daily basis, but take it a step further by exercising with this all important piece of equipment. Below is an excerpt:
"Call ‘em what you will: buggies, pushchairs, strollers, prams, baby carriages, perambulators or carrycots. Although we’re aware of the function they serve, some of us seem to be unaware of the imprint these means of transport will leave on our bodies and minds."
"In my mind, whether it is pedestrian vs. buggy or buggy vs. buggy, the following should have the right of way:
Parents behind the wheel of a double/twin buggy
Parents who look severely sleep-deprived and are behind the wheel of a buggy
Parents who are pushing a child who is having a tantrum
Parents who are simultaneously pushing a buggy and carrying several bags
Parents pushing a buggy without a raincover in the pouring rain
Parents who are trying to simultaneously push a buggy and hold an umbrella
Parents who are behind the wheel of a buggy at the same time that they have lost one shoe, have a foot in plaster or are using a crutch
Parents who have one child in a buggy and another one or two running in a different direction to that in which the buggy is being pushed"
