I'm sure everyone would be most happy to allow such contraptions
onto the tube in rush hour if a triple fare is charged for each one
to compensate for the three adult standing places it takes up.
And prams are banned on Tubes in rush hour?

Surely only folding prams are allowed on the tube?

Given that the vast majority of people carrying children in prams avoid the
rush hour, unless they have no choice, the argument is largely irrelevant.

(Side issue, who is the "user" of a baby's pram, the child or the parent or
both?)
