This happens everywhere. It's extremely rude (especially at rush hour) to take up 5x the space of everyone else just cause you have a kid. Either the kid is small enough to carry or big enough to stand.
- icebraining 11y agoI don't agree. A 10 to 14-months old baby weights 8-10kg on average, and often can't stand reliably. For many people, carrying that kind of weight for any significant time can cause health issues, especially if they're older and/or the ride is long. As a son of a women with scoliosis (a chronic problem which affects 2-3% of the US population), I with people weren't so prone to assume laziness or selfishness.
