 BM> Yoo Hoo, Stroller People!
Rich and I are ex-stroller people, because our son doesn't want to be placed
in them anymore.  However, the next time we go to a Disney park and if
our son is under, say, 5-6 years old, he gets a stroller.  ;-)

Not on you, Bruce, but on the thread.  You wouldn't believe the
name-calling that can go on between pro/anti stroller people.  Thread is
OK as long as we stick to Disney topics, flames within it are not.  :-)

Strollers are not very precise to push.  In uncrowded places it's not
a problem.  In crowds it is.  Sometimes a parent just needs a break from
carrying the weight of a baby/toddler/child around and have both hands/arms
free to do stuff (eat, write a check for a purchase, etc.).
