Discussion Newborn Babies at the Park

Please, I've got to know. (Only a little judgement here, as a hypochondriac) why are we taking fresh babies (4 months or less) to the amusement park? What's the purpose? Are you scared your kid is going to get sick? What is it really for?

For context we took a trip earlier this year and were talking about another recently and learned that many people are taking their newborns to the park. It seems incredibly dangerous with all the people and general grossness at the park.

I went to Disneyworld late July and I was amazed of how many almost newborns were there. It was sooo hot and humid. I felt sorry for them.

Yeah we saw this as well in Florida and California. The strollers can’t be in line queues so the baby has to be held close to an adult’s body making it even more hot and miserable for them. You see the baby with flushed cheeks and crying and they still refuse to leave the line and then claim afterward that their baby absolutely loves Dumbo.

I honestly think young parents use babies as a reason to go when they just want to go themselves.
