Scenario4

**Scenario 4: Adam using escalator with a stroller**

Adam and Judy are new parents. They both decide to go shopping for more items to decorate the nursery. During their shopping trip in IKEA, Adam and Judy spend fifteen minutes to find signs of the infants section. After seeing a sign leading upstairs Adam and Judy arrive in front of a set of stairs and beside the stairs an escalator leading to the next level was empty. Adam looked for a sign of an elevator nearby and there were none. Judy suggested using the escalator because of their impatience to look for an elevator. Judy got on the escalator before Adam to help stabilize the wheels of the stroller on the escalator stairs and Adam followed. Adam pushed the stroller on the escalator and had to stretch his arms because of the delay in trying to coordinate his step with the newly emerging step. After finally being able to step on the escalator, Adam had to use his force to keep the stroller stable without sliding off the stair. Judy had to balance on one foot and use one hand to hoist the stroller upwards and one hand on the handrail to stay balanced. At the peak of the escalator Judy accidentally rolled the stroller wheel on her right foot, but jumped on the metal pad to avoid tripping. Judy pulled the stroller to the side to give space for Adam to walk after the steps feed under the metal pad. Judy and Adam were both glad that they were not alone because using an escalator to move a stroller is almost impossible for one person.
