    Does your child still fit into the infant bucket properly? 1" above the top of the head and within the height and weight limits? If not, I'd look into getting a Cosco Scenera NEXT for travel. Would still need a locking clip, though.

    Yes, he's still not at the height or weight limit for the Chicco Fit2.  How is a locking clip used? and is this what you are referring too?

    What do you need ice packs for?

     

    is your baby crawling/cruising yet? It may be more difficult to contain him than a 3 month old. I remember how easy it was to travel with our 5 mo because he wasn't mobile yet, but once he started crawling at 7 months - hoo, boy...

     

    We use a 32 OZ RTF formula bottle and pour into travel bottles for day trips.  Once the RTF bottle has been opened (factory seal cracked) and formula dispensed into portions, it must be chilled on ice packs like breast milk.  We can not use powder formula due to allergies. 

     

    My son is not mobile yet. but I suspect that we will be by the time we depart on the Getaway in April. So looking for options that allow for a bit of freedom and not always restricted to the stroller. 

     

  2. We just booked a NCL 4 Day Bermuda Cruise on the Getaway out of NYC with our 9 month old, not sure if this is a smart move, but we've done Disney with our son at 3 Months old, so I know how much "crap" I have to bring etc.  I am trying to figure out the following:
     

    • How to do shows? Stand in the back of theater with stroller? Escape when necessary! :classic_wink:
    • Can I use a small baby pool (not filled with water) as a safe place for baby play on the sun deck while the family lounges? Something like below?

    Fisher-Price Ring Ball Pit Play Pool

     

    • What excursions can we do with an infant in Bermuda? I will have a infant seat/shuttle system, and would prefer that we could use seat belts to strap him into tour vehicles. 
    • How to handle bottles, RTF formula, ice packs, and baby feeding . . . .we are in a mini-suite, and have been told there is very small ice tray size freezer - not sure if that's going to cut it for the needed ice-packs.

     

    Any other tips/advice for this itinerary, please share! 🙂
