This has been bothering me for awhile – since I moved to the city a year ago, actually. New Yorkers push their kids around in strollers with plastic coverings.

I noticed it more in Queens than in the city, which confuses me even more. All packages that come with plastic bags clearly indicate not to let children play with them. It’s a pretty well-known fact that plastic bags + kids do not mix. So why then are parents enclosing their kids in plastic as they walk down the street? I don’t even like kids and it bothers me. What’s the deal?

I found the above picture on isawyournanny.blogspot.com. It’s actually a pretty cool website – people (usually remaining anonymous) recount stories (rat out) nannies. There’s some entertaining and scandalous stories – one tipster reported seeing a nanny binge drink while with her charges in a park in Arizona. Click here to read what one Jane Doe saw a nanny do with a plastic stroller cover. Also, while I was perusing the sight I stumbled upon this post, which bears a striking resemblance to one of my posts!
