Baby Bijorn Situation to discuss

The other day I was in Target. This woman has her baby (I'd say definitely no more than 2 months old) on her in a baby bjorn. The baby was facing out - not towards the Mom.

She was leaving the returns desk which was in front of the checkout lines and was meeting someone in the store - so she took her cart and started walking through one of the closed checkouts. Before she got there - an older woman was walking from her register to the door to leave.

The woman with the baby felt that the older woman should have yielded to her since she saw her coming and proceeded to shout something along the lines of "Oh way to get out of my way when you clearly see I have a baby".. the old woman comments back something like "Excuse me you were just SO rude." The woman with the baby then turns around and storms over to this older woman yelling in her face and shaking her whole body so that her poor little baby was just being tossed around this baby bjorn.

Me personally - I couldn't believe that she would approach a stranger to start a verbal altercation with her child acting as a barrier between the two women.

What if the older woman was crazy and hit the baby, or something insane like that?! How would she feel then.

Anyways - I just wanted to post this and see what you ladies think.

people like that shouldn't have kids! And that baby should not have been facing out, they have to be able to have full head control before they are to be carried like that!
