Preparing to go on vacation with a baby is tough, and parents have to ensure that no vital items are left behind.
But sometimes, despite all the organization and planning, things can be forgotten – and it can be too late for them to be retrieved.
Daylee Weiss, who was vacationing in Palm Springs, went viral on TikTok this week due to one crucial oversight: forgetting the stroller seat.
The 26-year-old shows off her daughter Blakley sitting in the base of the stroller, and said “we rolled with it.”
Weiss, from Edmonds, Washington, told Newsweek that Blakley in fact “loved” sitting in the stroller this way, as she was able to play with her toys and enjoy the sights at the same time.
“The bar across the bottom also acted as a safety belt, so I didn’t feel concerned because she was tucked under it,” Weiss added.
The candid moment seemed to resonate with others, who shared their parenting mishaps in jest.
“I went to legoland and forgot my pram wheels cos I swapped cars and I wanted to cry,” one TikTok user shared.
Another shared: “We went to Disney and forgot the freaking stroller shade had to buy an umbrella and make it work.”
Meanwhile, one said “I picked up my toddler from daycare today but forgot to put his seat on the double stroller. So he was in the baby’s seat and the baby sat in the side cart.”
One TikTok user recalled a time their friend forgot a wheel for her kids’ stroller for a trip to the zoo, but persevered with just one wheel: “I would’ve turned around,” they joked.
Weiss told Newsweek she found the responses “super uplifting” and that other moms were commenting that they’d done something similar in the past.
At the end of the day, Weiss was able to see the funny side of the parenting blunder and attributed it to “mom brain” and being sleep-deprived.
“Sometimes, I start to panic when things like this happen but over the past nine months, I’ve gotten better at improvising and rolling with it.”
