When it comes to Reddit posts like this one, a lot of people love the AITA threads because they help to get an outside perspective and advice on a particular scenario. It's great for people who don't have a lot of people to talk to or people who just need an outside perspective to listen to.

Ultimately the AITA thread is great for pretty much anyone looking for advice, looking to tell a story, looking to figure out how to react to something, or anything in between. If you've never seen the AITA thread then it's usually where someone will tell a story and ask if they're in the wrong for the events that unfolded, then people will comment on it and give their opinion or advice on the situation, which will eventually lead to whether or not it was their fault.

This situation is actually about a person whose dog actually knocked over a baby carrier with a baby inside of it. However, the details of the story make for a decision that everyone seemed to agree on.

Let's dive in and look at this story, plus all of the top best responses that people left on it.

Here's the story on what happened and a little background on the area they were in.

Exactly. It's not a baby park so I'm not sure why she thought it was appropriate to bring her baby there.

It definitely should be known that dog parks aren't always kid friendly.

This person said it exactly right and people really should understand their boundaries when it comes to where their animals or children are welcome.

Yep, this is the truth and that's probably why she freaked out like that.

I, as an adult, have also been knocked off my feet by happy dogs, so knowing this can happen to a baby is scary.

Yes, the mother was most definitely in the wrong for this.

I think that people should really understand that not all dogs are safe to have a baby around.

It's really something to consider when you have a child.

This is exactly why she reacted that way. She realized that she wasn't paying attention and it scared her.

OP was in the right because they were following rules and the mother should've been paying more attention.

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe she had a good reason.

I don't know or even want to know what she was doing that was more important than watching her child.

She definitely was caught off guard and it scared her.

Parent's just need to know that just because it's a "park" doesn't make it safe for babies.

I wouldn't have assumed that the dog or owner did anything on purpose.

Her reaction was simply just her reaction.

Dog parks should have an age restriction if they don't.

This is common in a lot of areas, just because of safety reasons.

This situation actually got a lot of people to agree with each other. The consensus is that OP isn't in the wrong ad the mother most definitely should've been watching her baby closer.

I mean, it's a dog park, what can you expect? What do you think about this situation and the responses?
