Which is better for traveling to Europe with an infant?
My son will be about 18 months when we plan to go to Europe. Which is better, the Kidco Peapod travel bed or the Pogy Portable Bassinet. I would rather not lug the Graco Pack N Play, even if it is portable.
I also need some help with the car seat issue? I’ve been reading about the different options like, Safety 1st Tote N’ Go, the Compass B500 and the Scenera by Cosco, but the more I read the more confused I am about what to purchase. The plane ride is not the issue, he will be a lap baby but I am concerned about the car rides in Europe (especially how they drive in Romania, I want my kid safe). Should I lug my Britax & put it with the luggage? Would that cause any damage to it? Or should i purchase a $40 car seat & leave it to someone there after my trip is over?
I really suggest taking your Britax car seat. You should be able to bring it on the plane and they will put it under the plane once you board. There is a special compartment they use for large carry on luggage. My cousin’s girlfriend did this when she traveled to North Carolina. This way there will be no damage and you can use it as soon as you deboard the plane. I’ve been to Spain, France, and Italy, and the driving in all countries is horrible. While I was in Spain, I saw two cars hit the same car parked on a corner within 10 minutes. Neither car stopped, they just kept going. I really suggest taking a good car seat, not a $40.00 one just to make sure your baby will be safe while traveling.
As for the travel bed or bassinet, I’m really not sure. Haven’t had any experience with either one.
