I know I'm going to get flamed over this but I don't care.
I can't stand the things, I think they are stupid, day after day I see them clogging up the shops and buses, they are nothing more then the baby version of a Chelsea tractor.
I hate walking past them in the shops what with them having spikes on the wheels for off road and they take up far too much space on the bus, the things can't even be folded properly not that anyone even tries to fold em even when someone gets on the bus with a wheel chair.
Why do people buy them? they are so stupid, this is London, there is no off road to be had, why do you need a Travel system that costs more then a small second hand car with your carry cot attachment, car seat attachment etc and then spend all day clogging up small shop aisle with it and blocking the gangway on the bus with it?.
Whats wrong with a simple small, light folding buggy that can be bought for less then half the price and in most cases can carry a child up to an older age then the Travel Systems.
AIBU?
To hate three wheeled /over sized buggies with a passion

Re your disabled DD and I had a lady in a wheelchair once offer to get off for us! But she was just as happy to have (delighted) dd2 sit on her knee!
Aww that was lovely. Really lovely. 
I have a M&P Sola. I can push and steer it with one finger. It pushes easily on any surface (even easy one handed on woodland and fields). I also have disabilities and cannot manage pushing most strollers at all. Some I can manage for very short distances. I also prefer DC to be able to face me until older (7-9m), the sola allowed me to do this (using seat attachment not carrycot - I didn't get the carrycot). The Sola can also take a good amount of heavy shopping in basket and hung on handle bar, unlike a stroller, which would tip. So there are reasons for them.
It is however the height of rudeness not to fold a pushchair for a disabled person to get on a bus.
