Have you ever been refused entry to a fitting room with a buggy?

I never have till today, but was stopped in Primark in peckham and told it was a health and safety risk and I'd have to leave the buggy. There's no way I could try on clothes and keep an eye on my hyperactive 15month old out of the buggy, so I didn't bother. The odd thing is I've taken the buggy into loads of changing rooms, including that particular Primark. To be fair, i can see in a way that having say 8 people with prams trying to barge out of a small fitting room in the event of a fire would not be good. Just think they obviously apply this rule randomly! I had to to make do with the slightly embarassing 'hang dress on hanger over head in middle of shop' approach instead, much to the amusement of my son.

The same thing happened to me last week in primark and it was v annoying! I tried the clothes on over my own in the underwear section and didn't buy any of them so was quite pleased with myself as I was in a grump with primark (!)

Outrageous. As Dulwichmum says, if she doesn't mind me quoting her, Peckham is not for everyone!

How is this an issue with Peckham as opposed to Primark?!

Yes, I had the same problem with Primark a few months ago, my daughter was in the buggy asleep and the man told me to carry her in!! With that I politely dumped the clothes on him and walked out!!

I had a similar experience at Bromley station when I asked a member of staff to help me up the stairs with the buggy and they declined claiming they were 'not insured for lifting'. Honestly where is COMMON SENSE???!!!!

I have never had this problem in the Primark in Lewisham. I have taken my daughter in her pram with me in the changing room many times. Maybe you should ask a manager why they wont allow it in that store.
