[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I've ridden this shuttle with a 2 year old, and I still wouldn't put her in one of the seats at the start of boarding - because the chances that we are one of the 4 people most in need of those seats are low.[/quote]

OP here who was riding with my kids.  If I was with only one kid then sure no problem - I could probably handle the stroller, bag and hold on to my kid to make sure they didn't fall.  But I was riding with two kids while pregnant. I figured that would give me some leeway in getting a seat for one of us, preferably the 2 year old.  But nope, completely able-bodied adults just sat and watched as my 2 year old flopped around the shuttle.[/quote]

I'm the quoted PP (and PPP) - If able bodied people took those seats and watched you struggle, they are total jerks. I don't disagree at all.  They probably were absorbed in their phones and/or packed so tightly you had no shot at navigating to those seats anyway

But your original question was whether it was (would have been) rude to give your kid one of those seats - and I think in some cases it would have been rude, yes, depending on who else is on this bus.

That said, I think we can all agree that we are counting the minutes until these terrible 35x shuttles die.[/quote]
