She Got An Infant Removed From A Christmas Train Ride Because The Baby Was Clearly Smaller Than Her Daughter, Who Wasn’t Allowed On Due To The Height Requirement
This 32-year-old woman recently went to a holiday festival with her husband, who is 33, and their two daughters, who are 5 and 1-years-old.
“They had a little train ride that took you around to see the Christmas lights, and I knew the children would enjoy it,” she said.
So, she brought her family to the event, but upon arriving, she noticed a sign listing the minimum height requirement to board the train. And to her, it looked like her youngest daughter was tall enough.
Yet, as they went to get on the train, an attendant approached her and claimed that her youngest was actually too small to board the ride.
“He based this off of me carrying her. She was not walking, so he was not able to see how tall she was,” she recalled.
Nonetheless, her youngest wasn’t allowed on the ride, so her husband was forced to stay back while she went on the train with her older daughter.
She also clarified that she didn’t try to argue with the attendant since she understood that the safety regulations were there for a reason.
But then, as more people started to enter the train, she saw another family that had a baby who was clearly much smaller than her daughter. In fact, that family actually tried to sneak past the attendant with their small child and managed to get away with it.
On top of that, the family happened to sit right behind her seat. Yet, while the attendant was doing his last sweep of the train, he either didn’t notice or didn’t care about the tiny infant behind her.

“So I waved him down and asked if the infant behind me was big enough for the ride,” she revealed.
At that point, the attendant took one look at the baby and just said, “I think so.” But, she wasn’t satisfied with that answer and pointed out how, not long before, he hadn’t allowed her child– who was obviously larger than the baby– to ride the train.
So, she claimed that if the baby was allowed to ride on the train, then her daughter should be, too.
Well, this pushed the attendant to give the other baby a few more glances before he ultimately told the family behind her that the baby couldn’t ride the train. Then, he made the family get off the ride.
“And I could hear the woman mutter something to the man behind me,” she detailed.
Afterward, the man behind her actually called her a jerk before taking the baby off the train; meanwhile, the woman behind her stayed on the train alone with their other child.
Anyway, this whole incident was understandably pretty awkward. So now, she hasn’t been able to stop wondering if getting the infant removed from the train ride was justified or not, given the fact that her daughter wasn’t allowed on.
Can you understand why she was confused about the infant being allowed on the train but not her daughter? Do you think she had a right to call the attendant over, or was it a jerky move? What would you have done?
