Our baby will be about 13 and a half months at the time. As far as accommodation goes, cheaper would be better. My husband and I have done a lot of travelling in our time but havent done any with a baby. We always went on a very tight budget and roughed it, but we probably cant do this with a little one. Any suggestions?
Answer
Federation square with its really cheap cinemas, and the stage which regularly holds child friendly performances. Melbourne Zoo is really nice as well as the Melbourne aquarium with its amazingly cute penguins. The Eureaka Skydeck is a great place to go 'The highest public viewing platform in the southern hemisphere.' Take a scenic boat ride up and down the Yarra River. Thats just off the top of my head, i'm sure you can find heaps of other things to do as well. Good luck with your journey.

Travel plan Paris???

I want a child-friendly travel itinerary in Paris for Dec. 26- Jan 3, appropriate for a toddler and an infant.
Please give me a good itinerary .
Thanks

If you have loads of money and time take taxis.
Otherwise, put your infant in a child carrier or sling and take a small, collapsable pram for the toddler.
Dress the kids warm, but in such a way you can easily remove a layer of clothing when you go into a building. (I found that most places in Paris are rather warm when you come in out of the winter-cold in your wintergear.)
With your kids easily transported you can use the Metro, that system has been designed with transport of children and luggage in mind, lifts at most or all stations, level entry into the trains and so on.
I do not expect your children to appreciate being in Paris, other than being with you all the time.
But that is no reason for you not enjoying Paris.
Make a list of things you want to do, half the amount and take a map to see how to combine them.
Paris is perfect for walking if the weather is clement, otherwise, short walks, dashing into cafes, museums, monuments and metro stations.
If you want to go up the Eiffeltower you will have to leave the pram behind outside the building, so do not take an expensive one and make sure you can take your gear off when needed. (Maybe also bring a lock, like used for a bike?)
I do not know what your toddler will like, as all children are different, so I can not suggest many things, but ask your hotel staff or go to an tourist information office and ask for activities that are suited. I am sure many Parisians will bring their small ones into town too.
The smaller side roads often have low profile places to eat.
As French families take their children with them with when they go out for dinner, many places will be geared for them with high chairs and small portions.
And in case all else fails, Mc Donalds does have a presence in town.
