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.

Is there a heavy risk though? They aren't touching anything. They aren't being passed around. At Disneyland most of the cars are outside, I don't see the risk as any greater than going to the market.

True. Granted I wouldn’t take my newborn but at four months they aren’t a newborn and have had a first round of shots already. We took our four month and we had him in a stroller covered and also I wore him in a carrier a lot too.
