Your point is not lost Hattie but agree that on this forum you will get a public flogging for daring to say a word against the entitled mummy brigade.
Agree that they can ride any escalator they like whenever they like (without or without cherub) but to inconvenience others and then get snotty about it is unacceptable and "unclassy" (most are unclassy!)
No different to the yummies blocking the entire pavement whilst they see to cherub, chat with fellow yums and expect all others to pander round them!

.....fully expecting the brigade flogging shortly!

They definitely sound like London day tourists to me..
After all, if they were yummies they would probably have got a taxi...

Orangetree! Bracing myself but unafraid. I was merely a bystander in all this. Thank god I wasn't the commuter, I would have been torn limb from limb by now!

Jabba - tee hee!

Completely agree with Hattie - there's a sign, and the drop is really very big at this particular spot. Really dangerous to take a buggy there, regardless of the time of day.
Lifts in stations can be smelly but certainly never felt threatened in any of them, have taken them by myself with sling, in pushchair, or with toddler.

The sign is not there to annoy customers or users it's there to protect them, or their babies. Some of the responses on here remind me of a thread that caught my eye on Mumsnet the other week started by a mother to be who was outraged that she couldn't take a babe in arm to the Chelsea Flower Show. There's a time and place for everything, regardless of whether we're mothers or not.

As has already been pointed out the commuter might well have been trying to get home to see tot before bedtime -- a stressful experience that some mothers on mat'leave are not always attuned to I tend to think rude mothers are just sleep deprived and let it go ...

Hattie - I'm with you too and I did follow the argument of your OP and just wanted to say I agree with you.

I could have written an essay in response about the irony of the responses telling you not to be judgmental but decided I didn't fancy the backlash!
