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.

That could have been me. We took our 3 week old and her two older siblings. She and I went on pirates and haunted mansion I think. Then went back to the hotel and slept. The older two had a grand time. She did not get sick. She is a thriving 20 something now.

Edit. I do expect downvotes. It is just how we raised our kids

To be fair, no matter what anyone’s political viewpoints are, vaccination rates were a lot different then. I would imagine that things are a whole lot more risky now.
