Leashes Are For Dogs, Strollers Are Fore Babies

When I watched the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” starring Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt years ago, there is one scene that was particularly stuck in my mind. After the family of fourteen”two parents and twelve children, hence the title”moved into a new neighborhood, several scenes were devoted to showing the new things that the kids needed to adjust to. It was then that the camera cuts across the street where a high-powered executive woman was running on heels and keeping a tight hold on a leash that was tied around the neck of a running child.

It was just a very short scene yet it was very hilarious. I could only imagine the reaction of a human and children’s rights activist who had seen the film. Thankfully, in reality, a sane and well-meaning parent will definitely not use a leash on her child and will instead use a stroller when going out.

Funny that the clip had made me reflect a bit, that I am very thankful that I wasn’t born a dog or that my mother and certainly most mothers I know would never do such a thing. We have to thank the geniuses behind baby strollers for making parents’ and guardians’ lives easier. Baby stroller make babysitting a lot easier to do.

These days most families have both parents busy with work so multi-tasking has become an important thing to do. As much as possible modern-day parents combine their bonding time with children with their time for personal leisure. In this aspect, baby strollers have proven to be highly useful.

For instance, when parents want to go for a short jogging they can now bring along their young kids. There are baby strollers made specifically for this purpose. Jogging strollers will let parents and guardians to get their exercise and at the same time the kids will enjoy a fast ride in their strollers. In the case of dogs as jogging companions, unless if they are well trained to allow them to run about without leashes, two things are bound to happen. Either the jogger will lead the way or the dog will do it for him.

The additional feature of most baby strollers is they can be made as convertible to car seats. This helps parents with the need to keep young, boisterous kids safely strapped in place when traveling. Parents or guardians driving the car will have an easier time keeping watch over the kid while driving safely. If it were dogs riding in the car, you’ll have to constantly hold them down especially if the windows are rolled down and their size will let them slip through.
