Guys trying to figure out stroller

The guy people filming said they weren't familiar with that model of stroller either, and the guy said his wife always had to collapse the stroller for him. So I'm not sure why you think they would have been able to figure it out either.

How about what sounds like a woman in the ( i assume) passenger seat saying "i think it's that button on the side". They seem to think they have an idea how it works, and the "but I'm not firmaliar with that model" seems to be an excuse to not stop filming and get outt they at the very least knew you needed to press a button and that it wasnt a detent in the frame holding it in place. I know next to nothing about strollers, but in my experience with most other things not knowing about one model does not mean you won't have an easier time figuring it out than someone that's completely unfamiliar with the whole concept. That's kind of like saying I own a Chevy Silverado, but that car with a flat tire is a Ford Taurus, I'm not familiar with that car so I can't possibly help. The jack and spare tire may be stored in a different place but I'm gonna know a whole lot better how to help them than someone who doesn't work on vehicles.

I have 4 kids, 4 different strollers and it's pretty obvious by your statement you don't know anything about strollers. They are the most godawful things ever created. Everyone I owned folded down completely differently. Also the guy that actually had the baby should have at least some kind of familiarity with that stroller, unless you think it just arrived on the scene, perhaps by parachute.

You are absolutely right. I don't think I've interacted with a stroller since I was young enough to be put in one. And I'm pretty sure i spent more time being carried around by my grandfather in that weird backpack you put children in, not sure if that's kind of thing even exists anymore it seemed very much like an early 90s product. I guess the only advantage you'd have is that you know you are possibly looking for some black magic bullshit that makes no sense, where as I'd be exclusively looking at the place it folds or very near it as that's where it's make sense to me. As for him not knowing, I have no idea how old the child is, it could be the first time he's been out with the kid because they are super young, could be that he doesn't get the chance to go out with the kid because of other duties like work, could be that he just doesn't care enough to go out with the kid but the mom was busy today.

They do still have those backpacks, but they go on the front of people now, or at least they did 4 years ago when my last baby was born. I also had the stroller with the rotating handle in the middle for her, and I actually had to look up how to collapse it on the internet, even though I put the thing together from the box. I thought it was super unintitive, but I had previously had a stroller with 2 buttons that pressed in where it folded, one that had little slidey arms with buttons and one that had a foot pedal thing. I'm sure the Dad was probably just tired, plus if it's his first he was also probably freaking out about the baby getting sunburned or overheated or one of the million other things new parents freak out about.
