Many public transport options have rules against open strollers. It'd be a pretty big pain to take sleeping baby out, fold up stroller, then clamber onto a bus.

Many public transport options have rules against open strollers. It'd be a pretty big pain to take sleeping baby out, fold up stroller, then clamber onto a bus. I guess a subway would be different, but still probably has the same rule somewhere.
- rayiner 12y agoOpen strollers are okay I'm Chicago, both on trains and buses. They're okay I'm the DC Metro, NYC subway, and Metro North. They're ok on the DC circulator but not DC buses.
- prawn 12y agoI'll keep an eye out for those rules - wasn't aware. About to visit the US for 8 weeks with a toddler and a baby, so we have our work cut out for us getting around. I've done it many times when travelling in Europe (though with one baby). Unless the stroller is overloaded, you can kinda fold it up awkwardly in the event that the carriage is quite full. I've taken full luggage, a stroller and a baby on the Paris metro in peak hour. Never again!
- delg 12y agoExtensive big city stroller experience here. The only circumstance when I have been asked to fold up the stroller was busses, and that's pretty universal. Light rail, subway, regional rail trains, etc. were all fine with it, and if you take any Amtrak, pay for a Red Cap to get you on early and seat you in one of the wheelchair seats so that you can leave the stroller open in front of you.
