scary! stroller stuck in a subway door

[BMdoobieW]

Proper procedure, IMHO, is that when riding the subway with a baby and you need to bring a stroller, before you even enter the subway station, you should fold up the stroller (make sure you are using a folding stroller, of course) and then carry the baby and folding stroller for the duration of your subway trip. That is the safest method, and also the most considerate for other subway riders.

Yes, it is called "getting indication [that the doors are closed]." There were draggings a few years ago, but since then I believe they have modified the rubber edges of the door panels so that the Train Operator will not "receive indication" unless the doors are actually 100% closed and nothing is stuck in them.

And it was a Korean subway train.

this is why i made this thread to eliminate any doubt as for where this original incident occurred. (and because i searched for korea subway and korean subway and nothing showed up)

So, you're going to carry the baby, the stroller, a diaper bag and a purse? Riiiight...you clearly haven't thought this through have you?

Down stairs even. What a fuktard. Most mom's I have noticed (I don't have a subway here, but have had to use the bus for about 6 months once) will quickly move their baby and break down the stroller on public transport. Most will wait for other passengers to get off then reload the baby and exit.

If I were a mom alone with her kid...I'd be hoping to keep them 'rolling' as long as I could with all the other crap I'd have to carry.
