Ayrshire-SFC Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Utterly needless for it too have gotten to this point. As a parent who doesn't own a car I can safely say I'd happily give up the spot. For the exact reasons of my daughters buggy will fold and she can sit on my lap on in her baby bjorn pappous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 In fairness imagine being the poor driver in this situation. f**k off lone parent and child or f**k off disabled person. Definitely likely to end in you being thrown under the bus regardless of what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 What happens if I'm out with my kid in the buggy and my wife in the wheelchair? Do we get two spaces? Or do the wife and wean need to fight over who gets the one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 1 hour ago, johnnydun said: Im sorry some may not agree with me here, but some buggies do not fold and if the child is pre walking age it should be classed the same as a wheelchair user. The wheelchair user is unable to walk and fold his chair as is the child if the buggy can not physically be folded by the parent. It should be on a first come first served basis. Show me a pushchair that can't be folded? Like I said, it can be a pain in the arse but it's far from impossible. 46 minutes ago, milton75 said: I agree in principle, but I saw a letter about this in the Metro the other day and someone was pointing out that if the underside area of buggy/pram is filled with shopping/baby stuff etc., then the parent can't fold it down. Not sure if that makes any difference. Taking the shopping out is too difficult for the cerebrally challenged, clearly. I didn't always drive. My kids were out of pushchairs before I got a car. I know it can be difficult but if you have another option (though it may not be the most convenient to you) the person without that option takes priority over you.

Honest Saints Fan Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wheelchair user should always have the space over a pram. I never go on the bus with the wee one as trying to hold her and fold up the pram at the same time is a faff. As Gman says, most folk just stare without offering to help. c***s indeed.

What I do notice however with people on busses is that when people seem to be struggling on the bus ( usually people with prams ) nobody seems to give a f**k and help them and just sit back and watch them. Humans are c***s My eldest boy is 18, the youngest is 5. There is a huge difference in the number of people offering help to people struggling with pushchairs and shopping and a baby between then and now. It still happens occasionally but definitely not as common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearbuyerbell Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 4 hours ago, Lisa Cuddy said: A wheelchair user is in that chair because they need to be. A baby can easily be taken out of the pushchair and the pushchair folded and put in the luggage rack. Yes, it's a pain in the arse but a wheelchair user doesn't usually have the option. You'd have to be a moron to argue otherwise. Fair enough, but do they really need to be getting in the way by getting a bus ? If I became paraplegic I would just stay at home, perhaps invest in an excellent computer and board games. It's not fair that able bodied folk are forced to suffer because someone in a wheelchair wants to go out for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Is there a chart where we can establish everyone's level of disability before they get on? Missing legs - fill your boots (not really) Fat c**t in mobility scooter heading to Greggs to stock up on steak bakes - Bolt, you tubby c**t.

Need one of those signs that you stand beside at the fair: "you must be this disabled to ride". Course, riding the disabled is DA Baracus' speciality.

Like I said, it can be a pain in the arse but it's far from impossible. They are out there, like the old silver cross for example. But its not just that, in a buggy a child is secure with a belt on, out the buggy it is at more risk. And I feel the child who can not walk has as much right as the adult who can not walk.
