Please mothers (and fathers), when you're crossing the road or parking lot in between parked cars don't lead with the stroller!

No offense, but I would have been yelling at you, not the mother. I try to be aware of cars in parking lots when I have the stroller, but as the person backing up, you're responsible for being sure no-one is behind you. What if it had been a person--or another car? I agree that parents shouldn't jaywalk with strollers, but to expect them to walk around parking lots backwards because people don't check behind them well enough is a little unreasonable.
