Excursions in the Bahamas and the baby

[~earthmama~]

This JUST dawned on me that we may need transportation to the excursions and therefore need a carseat. Does anyone know what type of transport are used for these two excurions?

 

Glass Bottom Boat FREEPORT, BAHAMAS

 

 

Ardastra Gardens & City Tour NASSAU, BAHAMAS

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

We did the Glassbottom boat thing in Nassau...no transportation..it was right there at the dock!

Excellent!

If you are planning any other excursions you might want to note that in most cases they do not have car seats in their taxis or buses - at least the ones I have been on.

We did the city tour with zoo in Nassau when our son was two. There were no car seats available on the bus, so he sat in my lap. I was reluctant in doing so (I'm a homicide investigator and way cautious cop dad) but after talking to others who have been on the tour, I was relieved that the actual driving time in the bus was minimal.

Just a heads up regarding car seats. It is going to be the rare exception that you ever find one on any of the islands. If you really must have your child ride in one then be sure and take your own.

Well if it is going to be a bus then I can't use a carseat anyway I guess

Thanks for the heads-up!

We did the glass bottom boat in Freeport on our first cruise and it seems like we went on an open air type bus to the place where we got on the boat. It has been a few years ago though...Good luck! :rolleyes:

How did we ever make it thur the 50's and the 60's ??

We rode in the back window of car climbed over the seats,

station wagons were great riding in the back window down

most did'nt even have seats , much less a car seat

Seat belts?? what was that:eek:

and don't forget the metal dash boards

I'm going to say fewer cars that were actually made of metal and no cell phones! LOL

Check with Carnival - they will be able to let you know exactly whether or not you will need to bring a car seat with you on the excursions.
