A Stroller Tantrum

You know what I hate?  Two-wide baby strollers.  A double-size stroller is sometimes unavoidable - if you have twins, what else can you do?  But get one of the twice-as-long models, so you can get through crowds or down hallways more easily. 

Why would you feel the need to put your kids side-by-side?  It could be that you're showing them off.   Admittedly that is faster and less annoying than showing baby pictures.  But a more likely explanation is that you're just avoiding the argument over who gets the front seat and who is stuck staring at the back of their sibling's head.  The idea that it is all due to wimpy parenting also helps explain why I always seem to see parents pushing empty double-wide strollers chasing kids that are running wild ahead of them.

Don't make the rest of us pay for your spineless parenting, switch to a more aerodynamic (or "crowd dynamic") inline stroller.  Or better still, find a double-decker stroller.  Though that would likely only be safe if the lower kid is much heavier than the other.
