[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are talking about the 35x shuttle, that thing has like 4 seats total.  No, I would not put a kid on one of those unless there was absolutely no one in need of it, which is unlikely.[/quote]

UGHHH I was just on this shuttle with my 2 and 4 year old and I am pregnant.  Of course we were the last to board (waiting for gate checked luggage on the tarmac) and nobody gave us a seat.  I was fine with standing but my 2 year old doesn't have the best balance, plus I had a stroller and a roller bag that I had to balance as well.  It was pretty much a sh*t show.  My 4 year old kept asking why other people had seats and we didn't.  I wanted to say because they are a-holes who won't give their seats up for a toddler but refrained from saying so. [/quote]

You didn't have seats because you got on last. [/quote]

And?? People should not be jerks.  Families need the seats more.  [/quote]

Disagree. And I travel a lot with my toddlers. Put the kids in the stroller. Lock the stroller wheels. Check the luggage. [/quote]

NP and you may travel a lot but clearly haven't on the 35X shuttle, as there is definitely no room to spare on that thing and certainly not enough to have an unfolded stroller (that mom would then have to bodily lift up and down to the ground, since there's no ramp). PP is right, small kids who can easily be knocked down by someone's shoulder bag or stepped on by an adult who doesn't notice them need the seats way more than able-bodied adults. And, IME on the 35X shuttle and the Dulles "people movers," people often do offer up seats to my kids. [/quote]
