Question
I took a child for babysitting and placed heavy bags in her stroller that I needed to transport. When I was taking the stroller down the stairs, I felt something break, but when I looked, I saw nothing. The next day, the mother said the stroller was broken and they bought a new one. Should I tell the parents that I placed heavy bags in the stroller, and perhaps that's why it broke? Am I obligated to pay for the stroller?
Answer
Hello
According to your description, the use of the stroller was beyond normal use.
Therefore, you should not have used the stroller in this way. You should inform the owners of the stroller about this.
