IMO it’s definitely not a European thing. My son is currently sleeping outside my apartment in his stroller, in a shared back yard. As a kid I rode my bike a mile though many intersections to get to school. It doesn’t seem to have changed. I find it ridiculous that people can be arrested/get in trouble in the states for letting their kid sleep in a stroller on the other side of a café window. But that happened recently to a Dane on vacation. As a side note, I recall watching a documentary about Japanese norms, where the kids are literally taught to be traveling alone in public from a very early age. So this is not just a European thing either.
