Maybe that is the answers for those with a baby and toddler - get a cheap umbrella stroller! Problem solved:thumbsup:
Actually, no, not really.
I won't mention how many times I've seen strollers almost hit by cars pulling in next to the parked vehicle because they didn't see them before the turn. Mom's in the vehicle with one kid and the other's just sitting there below the sight line in a little stroller. IMO, the best thing for all children is to be IN the vehicle, not around the edges of the parked car.
Parking lots are some of the most dangerous areas for pedestrians, especially children.
Then there's the little girl I almost hit today while I was slowly driving through the McD's parking area. There was a line for the drive through and she came running out of the building along the crosswalk just in front a large waiting minivan. I had no warning and she never even looked to see if any cars were coming. One second, nothing, next she was at the center of my vehicle!
I think I missed hitting her by only 2 feet.
She was about 7-9 years old and running to her mother's parked car where everyone was waiting inside of it.
Even after I tooted my horn, she didn't even budge from racing to the car. I was so scared after that. I think it added more silver to my hair.
