To think it's common sense to let a w/c user have the w/c spot

[SparkyStar84]

I've just seen the ruling on disabled people getting priority in disabled spots on buses. Isn't that common sense. What kind of person would deny a w/c user the space because 'pushchair'?
I'm a w/c user it makes it easier in a way to get about with children, though I know some w/c users still have a buggy.
This is about the parents who refuse to move, when asked, by someone who might have an appt or something important to get too. Not saying the parent doesn't. But isn't that the point of foldable buggies over great big travel systems?
It just bugs me that people have had to leave the bus because a parent wouldn't move. As a parent with kids of many ages, also remembering times gone by, the purpose of easy foldable buggies is that you can decamp when on the bus.
Do you think it's an issue that buses need to provide buggy spaces too?

The buses in London say they are disabled spaces or you can put baby buggys there if there are no wheelchairs. There's nothing said about luggage and it's asinine to compare. Luggage can go elsewhere on the bus and if you have it on your lap and it falls over it doesn't matter. The same can't be said for a small child in either case.
Also luggage doesn't get unwell waiting around in the cold for the next bus.

Only bothered with page 1 so I do hope trifleorbust isn't still going on.

This is a no-brainer: wheelchairs have priority, as is right and proper.

I had three under 5's in the 90's when you had to fold your buggy on a bus. It was difficult sometimes but people are so willing to help. People on the bus held the children or carried my bags. In half a generation some mothers have become paranoid about anybody other than themselves touching,looking or speaking to their children. Of course wheelchairs come first that is a given for any right thinking person!

Luggage can go at the back, where there is a gap between seats, by the door etc.
You have not answered either my point about it being dangerous for little ones if they fall compared to luggage, or about the fact luggage does not get cold or unwell waiting in the cold.
I also never said there was a legal right to a space for buggys but was very clear about the fact that the buses mention buggies and not luggage.
If you are going to respond to my posts please take the time to read them properly.

or about the fact luggage does not get cold or unwell waiting in the cold.

Babies can be dressed in warm clothing. Hope that helps.

I'm well aware of that thanks, you can still have illness exacerbated from the cold unless they're covered from head to toe.
I can't believe anyone is genuinely suggesting a suitcase is more important than a baby.
