I would say half of the toddlers being pushed by adults, the babies were looking at cell phones. My friend babysits her 3 yr old granddaughter- and I’ve never seen the toddler in her car seat without her grandma’s cell phone. Easy way out for parents to keep kids busy. Not saying it’s good, but it’s reality.

At a restaurant, don’t want your toddler to throw a fit, give them your cell phone - Like parent - like child.
