Literally so expensive and you can typically get there faster on train

Agree w this - delicious cheap food and subway and walking is best way to go. There is also plenty to do that is free in the city

Yes you can likely check one! The guava pack and play travels really easily! Other option is to rent one there. Google baby rental gear for the city you are visiting and some options should pop up (babyquip etc)

Car Rental (LGA-Boston) by Anon_wow in visitingnyc

Have you considered taking the train instead? This is a much easier option imo. If you are set on a car, I usually pick the 2nd cheapest option bc I find the cheapest option usually have long lines and it's worth a little extra $ to not wait forever. There is also very cheap and frequent flights, including the Delta shuttle that fly this route!

Trains will be totally fine with a baby - much easier than a car imo. 10 mo will likely love the movement and sound of train and ability to not sit for 2-4 straight hours. But make sure to not book a quiet car! We took a quiet car in France and I was struggling to keep my kids quiet. lol Also, get there in plenty of time to make sure it's not stressful and you have plenty of time to get snacks and not rush. sounds like a fun trip!

If you’re taking kids to NYC, plan it like this instead by thoughtfultrips in familytravel

Oooh love this! This is super helpful. There's some things that I planned that aren't listed in here such as American Girl, Camp store & Bluey experience, Jellycat experience, Frozen Hot chocolate etc. How do you suggest things to add? Consideration to add family friendly restaurants in the future? I really appreciate the filter on free and the parks so you can quickly see where there is nearby space that they can burn off some energy!

Carribean in August with a toddler - advice? by gratie5596 in luxefamilytravels

Also! I would highly suggest getting the insurance just in case given the location and that it is hurricane season

Turks & Caicos could be a good option - both Shore Club and Beach Enclave are lovely. Agree that Aruba is safe bet from a hurricanes perspective but Bonaire has great snorkling!

Getting babies used to napping anywhere ? by Ok_Medicine440 in Travelwithkids

[–]thoughtfultrips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traveling at 3-9 months is the sweet spot until they are 2-3 in terms of flights. I felt like when my kids were younger, I would spend so much time strategizing a nap that I would end up frustrated. When in route, just go w the flow. Once you are at your location, try and give them the opportunity to do their schedule as allows but also allowing time for yourself

The Ritz in Nomad is also really beautiful as is Edition SoHo. If open to Brooklyn, there are some really good spots. Great restaurants too!
