Cruising with a toddler

[Emmy11386]

How do you go about taking taxis or transfers to the beach with a toddler? Do you carry their car seat with you in the taxi, and then to the beach? Has anyone booked excursions through the cruise line that provides car seats?

I recommend posting these questions on the Family Cruises Board: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=49. You should get lots of responses there.

You bring your car seat with you. No cruise line excursion I've ever seen provides car seats.

You will find that the answer varies by person.

 

More often then not people don't bring car seats from what we have seen.

 

When we took our grandchildren the parents did bring car seats for each of them.

Research your ports for transportation options where car seats are not needed..buses, walking, etc...

Would you drive your toddler around at home without a decent car seat? Then why would you even consider doing that in any port. Bottom line, bring your own car seat and everything else you need to take care of your toddler.

I would absolutely never put my son in a car or taxi without a car seat. I’m really not sure where you got that idea from what I posted. I’m thinking that getting sand in the components of a car seat can’t be good for it. I was just wondering what other families have done and how it’s worked out for them.

We only go to places we can get with modes of transportation that don't need car seats, since I would also never put my child in a car or taxi without one (though plenty of people do on vacation). We find places that we can walk to, take a bus, or take a boat. It does limit options somewhat, but it is what is right for our family until the kids are old enough to be safe without car seats.

Have you found any ports that have a beach or anything like that within walking distance? Grand Turk was amazing. Everything was right in the port. But RCI and NCL don’t seem to cruise there.
