Mar 8, 2013 · A car service would probably be easier. Another option would be to rent a car (w/carseat), return it to the airport the morning of the cruise & take a cruise line bus to the ship. This option would allow you to go to the grocery store/Target for snacks, drinks, diapers, etc. We will be sailing with DD (2 years old) in May.

May 23, 2016 · I thought I should share what we have done. Before I start, I do want to say that car/booster seats are not required in most caribbean cruise ports. Many cruisers do not use them in cars or taxis. In fact, some cars and taxis do not even have seat belts with which to secure them. We have used taxis and private cars in Cozumel (4 times), Grand ...

You want baby to be as comfortable as possible, with the end goal being sleep, right? A number of things can affect that: familiar smell, breathable material so baby isn’t hot, amount of cushion, angle, etc. Keep that in mind when choosing a travel car seat. Consider how your baby may sleep best, especially if you have a long flight. Our little one...
If you don’t bring a seat and you plan on relying on the rental car or shuttle’s seat, both of which we have done, you have to be ok with the element of surprise. Cabo, Mexico – the seat was installed completely incorrectly even after I asked for it to be fixed. And the return shuttle… the car seat straps were broken. BROKEN! The mystery car seat m...
Your little one is already familiar with the car seat and what it entails, so they might be more settled and less likely to wiggle around. Our last long flight, the child in front of me kept standing on the seat, jumping, turning in circles, he was just nonstop. While some kids might need that freedom of movement, some might just get themselves mor...
We stopped bringing the car seat for our three-year-old when the year prior he was kicking the seat in front of him. Repeatedly. Ugh, I felt terrible. That’s when you hope that person likes to drink so you can buy ’em a round. Or two! At that younger age, he also had a difficult time reaching the tray table from a car seat. But that depends on the ...
Speaking of installing, make sure you know how to install your travel car seat in whatever transportation vehicle you are using. After you’ve done it a few times, you get pretty good at it. But I definitely practice or at least look at the seat before we leave so I’m not fumbling too much with a rushed Uber driver. Especially if it’s a new travel s...
If you plan on using mainly trains, metros and buses at your destination, then bringing a seat isn’t necessary (unless you want them for the flight). If you plan on using Uber, taxis, or something like FreeNow (Europe’s version of Uber), you’d likely want to bring your own seat and install it yourself. We did this in Paris with no issue. Again, mak...
Yes. It’s onemore bulky thing to carry. But there are easy ways to transport it – use a travel stroller systemwith the infant car seat you are already using (no brainer). If you’re beyond the infant car seat, wipe your tears, and then try one of these options: 1. attach it to your suitcase with aluggage belt 2. set it in the stroller (even if it’s ...
*If you don’t want to lug around a bulky seat there are other options* Reserve the bulkhead seats (I recommend window ones, not aisle or middle section) and use the bassinet if your baby is still tiny. Our 6-month-old didn’t fit comfortably – it was practically a shoebox on the British Airways flight, and they offer one of the biggest! You just hav...
Couldn’t tell ya. Personally, we prefer car seats on the plane for our baby and toddler stages, and then check the car seat for ages ~2 to 3 and up. We still bring both seats (checking the oldest child’s seat at check-in). Since we didn’t use seats on the plane for our last trip (both were 3 years old and up), we just rented seats from our car rent...
Remember the safety tips and FAA’s adviceIf you reserve one with a shuttle or car, be okay not knowing what you’ll get and that they may not help install it (if they even show up with one!)Consider what your child prefers, hmm… who would’ve thought?Do what you feel is best for you and your childCar seats US and Canadian regulations require that children up to the age of 8 years old may be required to travel in a car seat, booster seat or other child restraint system. When being transported by car, taxi, limo, van or shuttle, it is your responsibility to know the regulations and provide the applicable child restraint system.

You’ll have a safe car seat any time you plan to take a taxi or get in a car. If you bring it on the plane, you don’t have to hold your baby or toddler for the entire flight.

You will want some kind of stroller or baby carrier for taking your child around the cruise ship and in port. Some cruise lines, like Carnival, have rentals available; MSC offers loaners. You will need to store strollers in your cabin, so we recommend bringing a small umbrella stroller, rather than a large baby jogger.
