‘Babies First’, An Exaggerated Parody of Stroller Moms Who Bulldoze Their Way Through New York City Sidewalks

In 2009, comedienne Jackie Monahan made a really amusing video in which she played an extremely exaggerated version of some of the more aggressive Upper West Side (UWS) moms and their penchant for bulldozing their way through New York City sidewalks with their strollers while loudly proclaiming “Babies First“. Things haven’t changed much in the six years since, as evidenced by a very odd interaction that occurred yesterday in downtown Brooklyn in which an self-important jogger accused a couple with a stroller of running right into him.
