To think this is a really crap way to carry your newborn and toddler around?

[Norfolkbumpkin]

Whilst shooping in town this afternoon I came across a young mum walking towards me pushing a toddler in a stroller. I did a double take and gasped because hooked over one of the handlebars of the stroller was the handle of a first stage carseat with quite a young baby asleep in it. AIBU to think this is such a dumb idea? The pavements were busy with shoppers and all I could think about was this poor baby being knocked about.

kitstwins am PMSL at the thought of you with a twin under each arm and a golf umbrella down your pants - was it a big umbrella LOLOLOL

Macdoodle it was a giant, stripy golf umbrella. Chosen specifically to give maximum coverage over two (26lb) infants on either side of me and probably visible from the moon. We took up the whole pavement. Image not helped by the fact that I was laughing hysterically (Unbalanced Mother Alert!) whilst staggering along in the pissing rain. Quite what people driving by thought.....

Got me to the car almost dry though and gave me an enjoyable moment of black comedy over the surreality of my life!!
