That doesn't excuse the woman from putting her child in the path of a moving car.
It's not unreasonable to expect the woman to understand that walking behind parked cars with a stroller is risky. The stroller isn't visible, and seeing people walking along the row can be tricky due to blind spots. You could be the most careful person on the planet and still miss someone walking behind your car. Responsibility exists on both sides.
