The Great Baby Buggy Ballet: Pulling vs. Pushing on the Bus

Image
By

Ever find yourself wondering if there's a "right" way to get that baby buggy off the bus? Whether you're a parent manoeuvring through your morning routine or a bus driver who’s seen it all, the debate between pulling the buggy off in reverse and pushing it forward is more entertaining (and important) than you might think!

Baby Buggy Ballet

The Techniques at a Glance

Pulling Off in Reverse:

  • Smooth Moves: Some say pulling the buggy in reverse allows the force to align nicely with the buggy's centre of gravity, think of it as a gentle, controlled exit.
  • Steady as She Goes: With a more upright posture, this method might reduce those “oops, I almost tripped” moments.
  • Buggy Ballet: Does pulling feel like leading a graceful dance, or is it just a cautious shuffle? We’re curious!

Pushing Off Forward:

  • Forward Momentum: Pushing gives the buggy a little forward thrust, almost like launching a mini chariot, though, of course, safety comes first.
  • Unexpected Dance Moves: Ever witnessed that split-second wobble where the buggy teeters, and you suddenly find yourself improvising an accidental dance?
  • Control or Chaos?: While some say pushing can introduce a bit of unpredictability, others might have perfected the art to a T. What's your experience?

Edinburgh Bus 21: Route Learning Guide

Royal Infirmary, smell ae bleach an’ despair, folk coughin like they’re in some consumptive choir. Ye fire up the bus, sweat oan yer neck, mind racin. Strap in: the 21’s a marathon ae schemies, seagulls, prams an’ patter. This yin’s a journey through aw the layers ae Edinburgh, frae sterile hospital corridors tae Niddrie chaos tae Porty chips tae Leith pish alleys tae Clermiston hills tae Clovenstone carnage. Nae guidebook glamour, just the city showin ye its erse. Stops melt intae each other, roads twist an’ bite, but ye learn the rhythm. It’s survival wi’ humour, misery wi’ banter.
