In this case I would not have intervened unless it was to hold open a door or slide out of the way. People are capable of using their words and asking for help. In my opinion, a double wide stroller is city life on hard mode but who am I to judge someone who makes different decisions than I would. ETA: I think Boston people do a great job of jumping in and helping in true emergencies.

A double wide stroller should be parked outside like a bike, not brought into a crowded cafe. It's basic city etiquette.

You have to go to Norway and Denmark for that.

Yeah I don’t think that holds water in such an international city like Boston is now. In this case the woman was an immigrant and had a very thick accent when she said thank you. So some folks just can’t.

But I totally agree. In a pinch. New englanders on the whole are there for each other when needed
