I see it commonly at the local mall. Why do people do this? Buildings provide elevators for a reason.

Why do people do anything that risks injury to their kid?

Stupidity ? Think they know better ? Lazy ? To save time etc. the list is long

Because they're lazy. They can't be bothered to find an elevator to go up or down a floor. At the Target here that has two floors, they have a thing between escalators to put your shopping cart in so it will go up with the escalator and there is a elevator right there a few feet away. Are people really that lazy to walk a feet feet or too impatient to even wait for the doors to open and for it to come up or down?

While I was at the greyhound bus station in New York, an old man tried to go down the escalator with his walker. He fell as soon as he got on. Paramedics were called. There was an elevator but it was kind of hidden.

I’ve taken a rolling backpack on an escalator before.
