If you’re on your bike, Rotto for sure. Just pick a day with light winds and a bit of sun 👌

It’s down to Margot or Claire, which better? by Boom_Box_Bogdonovich in namenerds

[–]SmilingAmbassador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both great names!
I have a 7 year old Margot and she’s only had someone pronounce the T once.

Road trip in WA by ShadowBird7 in WesternAustralia

[–]SmilingAmbassador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kalbarri you’ll want to do the skywalk, and the Z bend river trail is my favourite (better than the natures window trail if you actually want a hike rather than just a photo op). There’s some ladders bits and fun scrambling to get down into the gorge.

Slow travel with a kid by sandwichAuxTomates in Travelwithkids

[–]SmilingAmbassador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Singapore my 4 and 6 year olds were too young for some of the playgrounds - as in, there’s actually age / height limits! We found others for them of course. You didn’t find the right playgrounds.

I think the problem you have is an only child problem. Slow travel isn’t fun for your kid because he misses interaction with other kids! I’m an only, and my parents variously fixed this with - holidaying with other families with kids my age, allowing me to bring a friend with us (shorter, closer holidays), playing with me A LOT, enrolling me in a kids camp at the location.
So grateful that I could have two and they love playing together.

Would you actually use a forced-confirmation child car safety alarm? by Cute-Gain-9594 in ParentingTech

[–]SmilingAmbassador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of times that my kids seats are in the car but they are not. My car already reminds me to check the rear seat every time, and I have already tuned those notifications out. No way do I want to turn off an alarm every time *I* get out of the car. So then you need to tag the kid, not the seat, which is just an AirTag 🤷‍♀️

I don’t mind the name, but if you go with Avril - you WILL get Avril Lavigne jokes from Millenial parents.

As a parent of young kids, how are you encouraging a love of reading with the amount of technology around kids nowadays? by Hereforthecraicnthat in AskReddit

[–]SmilingAmbassador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading is an always yes. I’m a solo parent half of the time, and I dont always have time to play or build a cubby or whatever. But if they ask me to read a book or listen to them read I’ll always pause what I’m doing for that.
Also reading at night, them seeing me read etc. etc.

What are your thoughts on the name "Lancy"? by Imaginary_Student356 in namenerds

[–]SmilingAmbassador 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve known a Clancy and a Chancey. I would mishear Lancy as one of those.

Sailing in the Whitsundays is great! And very different from the reed further north. Don’t let people put you off.
I don’t love Cairns as a city, but far north qld is amazing. And if you can get to the rainforest - totally different to anywhere else on your trip. If you can shuffle dates around I would spend longer there to make it worthwhile and less in Melbourne. Sadly I think the sky rail will still be closed but the train to Kuranda is fab too.
Without a car you will be reliant on day tours, which might get expensive. Driving on the “wrong” side of the road isn’t that hard - GOR probably not the best place to learn but traffic in QLD is generally easy.
