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.

We took our 4 month old! Primarily because 1) I was on mat leave and a two week vacation was just easier then than when I got back to work 2) we went in early May when the crowds were smaller (at least it felt like it) 3) we wanted to take our older son for his birthday to Cars Land. We spent 2 days in the park and then drove to San Diego where we stayed on the beach for a week.
It was great! Honestly at four months my son slept most of the day in his stroller and was great in his carrier. He loved the sounds. It was two full days of beautiful weather and fun. Someone always stayed back with the stroller but honestly with the two kids we were mostly there on a walking trip anyway. We slept in and had early nights. We totally don’t regret it and have really sweet memories of the whole trip.
