Was this a bit off?

I don’t have children, happy to be told IABU. But:

saw a dad this afternoon pushing baby in buggy. Buggy was forward facing. Dad was wearing headphones. It just seem odd to me that he was cutting himself off from the baby - could neither see nor hear him?

Not at all off. They’re just walking. That’s how buggies work so they can look around?!?

dad was probs out for a walk with a podcast

Fair enough. I know nothing as not a parent.

See it all the time. Father pushing pram with phone balanced on handle watching who knows what. Mother with ear buds in talking on the phone or listening to music 🤷‍♀️
