The only people with strollers that I hate are the ones that run straight towards me, as if it's my duty to move out of their way. Or the pairs/couples that spread out with their strollers and take their sweet time.

Has it ever occurred to you that you just slowly meandered right in front of the stroller and didn't know it because I know I've ran over some feet because some people don't know where there going

Honestly, strollers are completely out of control in the parks. If I were in a position of power to do something about it, I would. However, since I am not all I can do is say what I would do and hope that someone listens. They need to start by not allowing double wide strollers into the park...period. Next step would be to limit them to children of a specified age group..(up to 3, 4, 5 or whatever). As a previous poster stated it is the "children" who don't even fit in the stroller that need to be stopped most. Strollers should not be allowed to be used as cargo haulers. You don't have to carry your purchases around with you in the park.

Baby hater!

Obviously you have never went with small kids. I went last year with my 2 year old brother&sister and my 4year old brother it is tough and yes I've been with a six month old before too even tougher. Where are they going to put there stuff they buy in the parks carry it all day and handle kids that's just crazy

Nope. I always look where I'm going and I stay on the right half of the walkway.

I guess I'll be part of the "problem" and keep this thread off topic but I just have to respond...

When parents take babies or young children to WDW it's because they want to. I know it's hard for some of you to understand but parents still like to leave the house even after they have children. Just like you'd take your children to the playground, the zoo, a toy store, grandma's house, etc. Some of us like taking our children to Disney World because *gasp* we enjoy it! The children will remember it no more than the last trip to the playground but that doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable or memorable for the parents. (Oh, and by the way there's some fascinating research on babies and young children's memory, while they don't remember specific events, what happens during childhood leads to memories that help develop their contentment level, confidence, etc.) Having a baby doesn't mean you should be confined to the house or have to change your travel plans. Babies and young children are part of the family and get to be part of what the family does (whether they remember it or not). If folks want to tour Europe, snorkel in Austraila, skiing trip to the mountains, or a vacation at Disney World, babies can travel to all those places. Vacationing is more about spending time together not necessarily what you see and do. Sure you get to see and do different things (that's what makes a vacation fun) but it's the people you're spending it with that make a family vacation special. I think it's just plain crazy to suggest that parents leave the child home (with grandma) or not go because they have babies!?! If folks want to leave their baby home, fine - that's what works for them. And I'm not suggesting parents should never get away without the kids (it's healthy and good for a relationship to do so every now and then). But if they want their child with then on vacation than why the heck not?
