To be fair, strollers can get away from you, and they can get moving pretty fast. This is especially terrifying around traffic. Having your child strapped in adds to that terror.

This seems like a good opportunity for an invention: a stroller that detects its own speed and applies brakes automatically.

One wonders how any of us survived childhood! By modern standards we were dead kids walking and should have been taken into care immediately!

Arguably, less survived childhood then than do now.
