Buggies on escalators...

[Hrc152]

Thoughts? I live in greater London and occasionally use the tube and until now I've never been near an escalator with the buggy. Always gone routes though stations with lifts. But now I am just exhausted with spending hours going really long routes and I see people going on the escalator with their buggies and seem perfectly fine! I have a baby jogger city elite and gt, but feeling I probably need an umbrella type if I'm gonna attempt this one... Oh and LO is 18months...

I did it loads back in the days whdn I lived in London and dd1, then dd2 were pushchair material!

This is before there so many fancy pushchairs too so if was a M&P pliko and later a lightweight maclarrn, no priblem at all! Babies were strapped in tightly to avoid escapes and buggy held tilted slightly towards me.

Must have done it hundreds of times.

Ps I'm pretty sure there used to be a sign indicating buggies needed to be folded on the escalators but no one ever said anything to us.

Chattychatty I'd love to do a petition - perhaps Boris would be a good mascot? Now men are pushing buggies more I imagine it won't be long before more facilities arrive, but perhaps too slow for us lot!

this is all i could find hardly sufficient

I do it all the time with my Phil & Ted double, loaded up with bags and panniers and whatever we are carrying. At rush hour, busy stations, quiet stations. I've had one negative comment and most people have been quite friendly about it.
