    it is very important to remember that BEFORE YOU PUSH THE STROLLER INTO THE GUTTER YOU NEED TO LOOK IF ANY CARS A RE COMING> MANY PEOPLE HAVE TH HABBIT OF COMING OUT BETWEEN 2 CARS THEN CHECKING IF ANY CARS ARE COMING, BUT BY THEN THE STROLLER IS ALREADY IN THE PATH OF CARS.

    I”VE SEEN THIS MANY MANY TIMES

    Proof positive that Jews don’t riot, a fact I’m proud of. (Boro Park–pay attention!) If this had been a black kid, all hell would have broken loose.

    Maybe this will be a wakeup call for all the women (and mend) who subconsciously push their kids’ strollers partially into the street while trying to see if there are any oncoming cars.

    Just be patient and wait for the light to change!

    Avrom & ME are right. I am a young mother too with a stroller, but I always push the stroller to the side & lean forward myself. In BP they do it all the time. Very difficult for drivers.

    mothers – be very careful when pushing strollers and talking on cell phones at the same time , it poses a threat to u and the baby. before pulling out with a stroller do head checks just as you would when driving , it helps. it wasnt anyones time to go, boruch hashem it hit the stroller. no injuries -miracle. wake up yidden!!!

    We’re living in a world with "chaleros"!!!

    Everyone is in a rush to get everywhere!! And they don’t give a darn about YOU!

    But LADIES PLEASE I hate to see you standing on the pavement and your kid is in the stroller IN THE street!!

    Trust me, you’re in no rush C"V to go to the hospital. Please stay with your child on the sidewalk until the light changes!!!

    MAy hashem watch over all of his children.

    By the way this car has been seen speeding and driving recklessly around crown heights

  • driver AND mother

    ditto to the commenters about looking first
    I am a mother B"H, and a driver; it makes me nuts to see people (men and women, and KIDS) pushing the stroller into the street in order to check the traffic.
    Maybe this guy was a wild driver, but in order to stay safe, we have to assume all drivers are wild

  • carfull

    everybody be carfull don’t do things that might get you hurt ……. i’m saying just in case you didn’t know!!!

  • b h nobody was hurt

  • hashfanatic

    Look at the front of that car (I can’t even figure out what kind of car it is), and look at that stroller, and tell me that baby didn’t have a miracle!
