Studying abroad with a toddler?




sarah


Im 18, just graduated high school and am continuing my education. I wanted to get some information on studying abroad. What courses or topics of carreers in interest normally offer this oppurtunity and what does it consist of? Just any general info will be very helpful. I also have a 2 year old daughter, I just won a custody case against her father (sparing the details) so he now has only standard visitation at a specific location, how would I go about taking her with me? Rules? Laws? how do you think this would go over in court?


Answer
You can study ANYTHING abroad that you study in the US. If you want to study abroad as part of your college education, that depends on the relationship your school has with foreign universities.

Standard visitation at a specific location would require that he have reasonable access to this specific location. Travel out of the country would not be considered reasonable access. A law has been in place for a dozen years that you cannot even get a passport for a child without consent of both parents. You would definitely need to get court approval to live with her outside the country.

I am not a lawyer but my opinion is that a court would look at if you are obligated, by whatever degree you plan on obtaining, to study abroad. The only thing I see mitigating in in your favor is that, despite contesting custody, the father has no interest in parenting and you can show he doesn't make use of the visitation he has. Even then it would be difficult and you might want to consult an attorney to discuss strategies.

Is there a company that rents infant/toddler car seats that covers Doylestown, PA?

We are travelling to Doylestown, PA and need an infant and toddler car seat. I have checked and so far companies don't cover this location or charge extra fees for distance (babies away, going 2 grammy's). help!


Answer
Your infant and toddler can both ride in Cosco Sceneras- The Scenera is a convertible car seats which means you can use them both rear facing and forward facing. The Scenera may need a rolled up towel to increase recline for your infant (newborns need the 45 degree angle to keep their airway open). It costs around $40 and the Scenera is available only at Walmart.

Have you heard about the new AAP recommendations? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children ride rear facing until they are at least 2 years old because studies have shown that rear facing kids are 500% safer than forward facing kids. This video shows why rear facing to at least age 2 is important: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8gU9zzCGA8
