Camping with an Infant.

DH and I have friends who love camping. They have invited us to go on some trips with them. We just cannot agree on what to do with our 4 month old daughter. My idea is to get one of those 3 room tents and set up the pack n play. DH thinks that DD should either sleep in her infant carrier or with us. So what do we do with her during the day then? Hold her all the time? I swear men just do not think sometimes. LOL So what have you all done? Any advice?

Should I Buy the Car Seat Adaptor?

I'm due with baby #2 in a couple of weeks. We purchased the Bob Revolution Duallie stroller to use with both our 2 year-old and the new baby. I'd like to begin walking a week or 2 after the new baby comes (provided no c-section, etc.), but she can't be in the stroller without additional head/neck support until after 8 weeks. After that she could lie in the reclined position with the 5-point harness on. Anyway I'd rather use her car seat in the stroller instead, for longer than 8 weeks anyway as I feel she'd be safer in there. But the...

Air Travel Tips W/ Infant

I need airplane travel advice…my husband will be on the plane 5 hours (not including checking in) with my 3 1/2 month baby whom I am nursing. We will be sitting in regular class and we did not purchase a ticket for our baby, since she flies for free. The airline knows that she will be on the flight. Should we ask for specific seating? Does the airline have to provide special accommodations? Where would we change her diaper -do they have a changing table in the restroom? We were thinking of just bringing our Ergo (backpack carrier)...

Car Seat for Air Travel for 3.5 Yo

We're flying with our 1 yo old and 3.5 yo. The 1 yo will be on my lap. We will check his car seat. Question is: do I use a car seat for the 3.5 yo. He's pretty tall, about 42" and about 40 lbs. His car seat seems huge (Graco Nautilus) and I can't imagine him having any room. We will probably check his car seat anyway for driving around but I can't imagine using it on the plane. A friend said that she uses a booster for her 4 yo (who is smaller than my 3.5 yo) but I don't think that is approved by the FAA. I guess it's up to the...

Traveling to Greece with an Infant

My husband and I are planning our son's first trip to Greece. It's also my husband's first trip. I used to go as a child a lot, since my family is Greek, and it was never stressful, but now I find myself really stressing out. It's unpleasant because I love Greece so much and I don't want to have a horrible vacation. But all the responsibilities of traveling with a child and a husband who doesn't speak Greek and has never been abroad are starting to overwhelm me. So I thought I'd come here for travel tips and advice. My first and...
