To want to take my baby on public transport?

[ETUMP]

Just returned from a trip to London with my 3 month old baby. Very busy train on the return journey with a lot of luggage so there wasn't room for my pram (quinny with basinet) in the luggage area as i'd politely hung back to allow others to get on in front.

I put it in the next carriage, as advised by a staff member and then a manager asked (very loudly) whose pram was parked next door and it couldn't stay there etc. He was obviously harrassed, but was quite rude and sarcastic to me. After a very publuc discussion he said 'well these trains are not made for prams really'.

If that's the case - why sell family railcards?

I've fashioned one from a pallette and shopping trolley wheels.

That'll learn 'em.

It's a long time since my kids were push-chair sized, but when DS1 was little, I often had to take him on buses and trains in rush hour - no choice - because I went back to work when he was 4 weeks old and had to commute and didn't drive. It was a nightmare. People don't realise how difficult it can be, or they forget. OP included, probably.
