You are definitely not being unreasonable. How would that mum know if someone grabbed the tot and ran off with him/her? Very worrying - if it were my GC I would not be happy.

That's an accident waiting to happen!

I know that the 2 year old in our life runs away at the least opportunity and has no real understanding of the danger of traffic or being lost yet. She has my old heart in my mouth even away from any traffic. The wee whippet had Grandad running at full pelt to catch her in the sea-life centre a few weeks ago. grin

Either in the buggy or use reins (such cute ones available now!)anywhere busy.

Common sense, surely!

That would worry me too. There is a lot to be said for reins - or even just holding a hand.

AIBU to think that its wrong for a two year old child to be walking at least 20 paces behind mum whilst mum is pushing an empty pushchair on a busy m ain rd with lots of traffic?,have parenting skills really changed so much?I am. all for little ones having a bit of independence,but really.
