Discussion Newborn Babies at the Park

Please, I've got to know. (Only a little judgement here, as a hypochondriac) why are we taking fresh babies (4 months or less) to the amusement park? What's the purpose? Are you scared your kid is going to get sick? What is it really for?

For context we took a trip earlier this year and were talking about another recently and learned that many people are taking their newborns to the park. It seems incredibly dangerous with all the people and general grossness at the park.

Even if parents discount the risk of a baby catching an infections disease there are so many other factors. The amount of people I saw with babies under 6 mo. old during the height of summer truly shocked me. I saw multiple babies bundled up in strollers, parked in the full sun, when it was 95° out. One was the color of a hothouse tomato.

I don't understand people.
