No text, just speechless, the happy family sitting one 4er Abteil in front of their monstrosity without a care in the word
Why would anyone even think this is ok? They managed to bring the stroller down the stairs, just stay up with the stroller and the grandmother, mum and baby can take a seat, but why block two full seats?

Unpopular and very practical opinion: just ask them to move it…
Push it to the entrance where the doors are and sit there anyways
a) you can ask them to move.
b) You want them to leave the prawn in the middle of the passage? They are blocking the least amount of space really as these trains have often folding seats where you’d park bikes and such, which means you will block 2 seats or more regardless.
I mean you could remind them to remove it or do it yourself.
Where else are you gonna leave it?

People who say “just ask them to remove it” are missing the point.
You’d expect others to have situational awareness and enough courtesy to not cause situations like this in the first place. That’s the real problem.
What is your question?
Ever had a babystroller and kids?
It is unclear what and where you were thinking it is supposed to go?!
Full train? No. There are at least two seats available.
Coz F other people?
Don’t vote for anti-car BS and government then. Problem solved
I’ll be the one to say this….. they have a baby. Someone has their Mother-In-Law following them and probably criticising their every move. Understand… they haven’t slept properly since their bundle of joy arrived. Life just absolutely sucks for them on every level. I usually try to help them out by 1. Pointing out the problem. 2. Helping them move their stuff to the proper place. Your brain is in a fog bank during those times and it’s okay to point things out. But be sure to give them a hand as well.
If you were ever in the situation to travel with a pram/stroller in the S-Bahn you would understand.
There are only very few good places to put them. And if they are occupied, you have to put them somewhere where it bothers the least.
Please just get a car before you get someone or yourself pregnant. I know unpopular opinion.
On the one hand, I’ve definitely been in awkward / uncomfortable situations on trains here because many are not accessible. I was once even escorted into a « family » car that had narrow staircase just to board the train, followed by a narrow hallway before being able to get into the cabin. Although several SBB workers at the station and on the train confirmed that is where I was supposed to be, the stroller was very clearly blocking the pathway into the cabin and did not fit inside. It was so uncomfortable, and I know that several people were pissed that I was in the way. With my sleeping baby I struggled with food the stroller without waking her up and of course in the meantime I had a whole frustrated audience glaring at me.
On the other, I also regularly see a lot of very selfish behavior on the trains, including people placing their purses / book bags / small bags on the seats, putting their feet up ok the seats, acting like they do not see anyone entering or standing nearby. And I agree that often people act annoyed and then proceed to live in slow motion when you asked them to move. While pregnant, I requested just one of four seats two girls were taking up with all of their stuff, and you would not believe how they proceeded to behave for the remainder of the ride, including rolling the wheels of their suitcase over my feet intentionally (and mind you, the seats they were occupying were accessible seats). It also shocks be when I see many elderly people, including with walking aids standing, and the people around them do not even offer to remove their costs from the empty seats.
So overall I agree there is a lot of inconsiderate behavior, but also sometimes it might not be what it seems like so it’s still worth speaking up for yourself and also trying to put yourself in other peoples shoes. There’s no reason one person needs four seats for their purse, coat, work bag but perhaps with this larger stroller did not have a place to go where it would not block everyone else. I don’t know exactly what the circumstances were so it’s hard to tell from this one photo whether they were really being inconsiderate or lacked options / awareness.
At first I thought maybe there was baby shit everywhere. Now I see it’s just a stroller.
Because people do that kind of thing sometimes. The why could be many. If it’s blocking your seat then move it.
I really did not feel this post was worth a response, but with less time than it took to make a Reddit post you could have either dealt with it or moved on.
Hope your day gets better and more fulfilling!
I respectfully disagree. This is an S-Bahn. Most people are traveling only a few stops. The last thing you want is that monstrous buggy blocking the entrance area. Taking it down the stairs and moving it out of the way is the best they could do. Yes, it’s blocking a few seats, but at least it’s not in the way.
