Stroller
Yaaay, your first family vacation with your baby! Traveling with a baby is a whole new experience, and it can be pretty daunting, but we are here to help! With the right preparation you can limit the turbulence of your first flight with baby. We have summarized the most commonly asked questions and answers to give you all the information you need for flying with a baby.
When can I fly with my baby for the first time?
It's probably sooner than you think. According to Baby Center, most airlines will insist that your baby is at least two weeks old, but depending on where you live and where you are flying to there are no standard regulations, so it's best to check with your airline before you book. Some airlines may ask you to provide a fit-to-fly letter from your doctor if your baby is less than two weeks old.
If you gave birth by cesarean section, you may need to wait until after your six-week postpartum check-up before you take to the skies. Even then, you should only fly when your pediatrician

Baby Carrier vs. Stroller: When to Use Each
As a parent, one of the biggest questions you’ll face when heading out with your little one is: Should I use a stroller or a baby carrier? Both options have their perks, but knowing when to use each can make all the difference in comfort and convenience.
Whether you're strolling through the park, navigating a crowded airport, or running errands, choosing between a baby carrier vs. stroller depends on your needs, your baby's age, and your lifestyle. So, let’s explore the benefits of both so you can decide what works best for your family.
Emotional Benefits of Getting Outside
Spending time in nature with your baby can strengthen the bond between you. The simple act of holding your baby close, feeling their warmth, and sharing new experiences together can create strong emotional connections. It’s also a wonderful way to reduce stress and improve your mood. When my littles were extra fussy, I’d take a walk around the neighborhood. Even though

The Key to a Relaxed Holiday with Baby: The Travel Stroller
Do you want to be prepared for anything a vacation with kids can throw at you? Then a travel stroller is really worth its weight in gold. Of course, a baby carrier is a must have and, small as it is, there’s probably plenty of room for it in your luggage. It can be more of a debate though as to whether a travel stroller is worth bringing. But the new Ergobaby Metro 3 makes that an easy choice as

The Basics: How to Choose a Stroller
When deciding how to choose a stroller, there are a few key factors to consider to ensure both
If you’re planning a trip to Disney this year with your little ones, a stroller will undoubtedly become your best friend. Whether you're navigating through Disney World’s expansive parks or Disneyland’s charming streets, strollers for rent at Disney can help keep your family comfortable and your trip stress-free. In this guide, we’ll cover all the essential details, from rental options to Disney stroller rules and a better choice than renting a stroller.
Why You Might Need a Disney Stroller Rental
Disney parks are enormous, covering miles of walking paths, attractions, and shops. Here’s why a stroller is a must-have:
- Distance: With over 40 square miles in Walt Disney World, even adults get tired! A stroller ensures your kids can rest when needed.
- Storage: Use the stroller to store snacks, water bottles, souvenirs, and extra clothing, reducing the load on your shoulders.
- Rest on the Go: The excitement of Disney can be overwhelming for little ones. A stroller offers a cozy spot for
From snow to sleet to temperatures and winds so ice cold you feel like you can’t breathe, Mother Nature doesn’t really welcome you with warm, open arms this time of year (unless of course you live in Florida, Arizona or Southern California).
Taking your baby outside for a walk in the winter? Your answer is probably, “No thanks!” And I get it. Staying inside your cozy home sipping a cup of hot chocolate while your baby plays with his toys sounds way more appealing than getting everyone all bundled up to go on a 10 minute walk in 40 degree temperatures. But you can’t stay inside all winter long – you’ll go stir crazy!
According to one pediatrician, and I’m sure many others agree with her, “Unless it’s dangerously cold, being outdoors helps infants acclimate to the seasons and the day-and-night cycle, and it often calms fussiness.” Getting exercise plus having a calm baby who may sleep better at night? We parents should all be saying, “Yes, please!”
As long as you follow the proper safety
When you’re a parent on the go, a stroller is your best friend. It’s your extra set of hands. It’s basically your mobile command vehicle. You need your stroller to safely hold your child, diaper bag, toys, snacks, sippy cup, mommy’s drink of choice, cell phone and keys. But many strollers can’t do it on their own. They need a little help from their own kind of friends we like to call stroller accessories.
Whether you’re an urban or suburban on-the-go parent, here are some of the best and most useful stroller accessories to make your life out of the house a little easier.
1. Weather Shield
When partly cloudy skies turn to rain showers, a blanket or car seat cover won’t cut it. You’ll need a weather shield to keep your little one dry from rain and protected from the wind and bugs. It’s also a great option to keep your tiny tot safe while out and about in congested cities, stores or doctor’s offices, especially during cold and flu seasons. The Metro+ Stroller comes with a rain and wind cover
Parenthood brings with it a whole slew of questions to answer and lessons to learn. How do I know what my baby is trying to tell me when she’s crying? When do I transition her from a bassinet next to my bed to a crib in her own room? When do I start feeding her solids?
Another major topic for new parents revolves around their baby’s sleep schedule: Can my baby nap in the stroller? We’ve all been there. You’re out on a stroll and you go to check on your little one and they’re fast asleep. This poses the question as to whether it’s safe for your baby to continue napping in their stroller or not?
The Short Answer? Yes, it’s Safe.
In short, yes- you can let your baby nap in the stroller. There’s no need to be concerned about your baby’s safety if they fall asleep while you’re out on a stroll together. If you have a newborn, it’s preferred that they fall asleep in a bassinet style stroller that allows them to lay flat. But even in a traditional style stroller, an older baby
