Sometimes thought, like at T1 in YYZ there is a special stroller and/or handicap line that is faster so I typically use that.
I noticed there is a special security line that can handle strollers, and helps with taking a bit of extra time.. so not as rushed as other lines..

Basically, the scanner is wider than standard, and a stroller could be folded up and run through security check.. other lines, possibly priority line, may not have the capacity to handle the extra time needed or the special check necessary for small children travelling..
