I am fairly new to driving a pushchair, ds is 5 months old but I used a sling most of the time until ds reached 20 pounds recently.
We have had 3 unfortunate experiences today.
First we went to pick up ds's passport, the passport office was packed, there was a row of chairs down one side of the room and lots of people milling about, there was a small pathway between the seated people and the milling people. I looked, all clear, I started pushing the pushchair towards the desk I needed to go to, I should mention I am short and the pram is high so I don't have great visibility at the front of the pushchair. I felt a bump and a seated lady screamed, I had run over her foot, she must have stretched out her legs after I had checked because all was clear moments before, I said sorry the best I could (I am not originally from the country we live in) but she was furious.
The next incident was in a shop, I walked behind a lady at a till, again there was not much space. The lady steeped backwards into the pushchair and stumbled, she was also very angry.
3rd incident was very scary, I went to use the escalator with the pram (everyone seems to do this here, it seems very dangerous I'm not sure if people do this in the UK) I have successfully done this before when ds was in the lie flat part of the pram, now he is in the sitting bit of the pram and when the escalator went up the pram tiped and ds fell forwards making full use of the 5 point harness.
Aibu to think I am a danger to the general public, ds and myself and it would be best if I just wait till ds learns to walk before going out? I don't drive a car and am dyslexic with spacial awareness issues, it all just seems a bit daunting.
