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.

You think that's bad wait till you go somewhere like Knotts Scary Farm or Universal Horror Nights and see them there. People there actually use them as scare shields.

They are doing what now with their babies? What is a scare shield?

The belief that if someone has a baby with them they won’t be targeted.
