Way to miss the point Michaela, but thanks for impugning my character. It’s much appreciated.

Your wife cares about the safety of your child and if you did too, you wouldn’t call it nagging.

My husband laughs when I use the tether every single time I push the stroller anywhere…so I feel vindicated. But what an awful, awful thing to watch. Maybe I’ll make my husband watch it, and we’ll see if his tether use increases.

Wow. I’m in shock. She is lucky her son was not killed. She is also lucky that she did not get hurt.

I’ll be more cognizant of things like putting on the brakes of my daughter’s stroller.

I couldn’t watch it either. Between the story of the twins drowning, and the Oakland mom having to watch her four children burn through a barred window, I can’t take anymore tragedies or near-tragedies involving children. Guess I’m still hormonal…

Too soon postpartum for me to watch this video, but the other comments say enough.

Brakes good.

You just made me cry. I rewatched how close the mother came to getting hit as well. What an awful thing to experience. Message received.

Wow! Admittedly, I usually don’t use the brakes in flat parking lots, etc… that’s going to change now! Thanks for the wake up call!!!

Saw this on the news this morning.

Terrifying. TERRIFYING. Hugged my baby a bit tighter this morning.
