I am hoping to have a couple of days away with my baby (9 weeks old) so called into our local train station to ask about travel. My carrycot is lie flat and I was told that although children travel free, would need to book two seats to accomodate the carrycot (so that he can sleep in it during the journey). The pram base folds up and I was told that it would need to be stored in the luggage area- I am not keen on the idea of people putting cases etc on top of it. Why is it that disabled people and cyclists are given space on the train for their wheelchairs and bicycles but mums treated like second-class citizens? Am I being unreasonable? Would be interested to hear of other mums' experiences of train travel.
