Paleochick Posted January 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Do you have to store the car seats you use on the airplane in the stateroom or will the ship (Carnival, in my case) store them for you? We'll have two. With the crib and the car seats I can't imagine we'll have any walking space in our cabin. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmom Posted January 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2007 The cabin steward will probably be able to store them for you. If not, you may be able to stick them on the shelf above the closet, or stash them in a corner someplace. Or you could take along a couple of S-hooks and hang them from the ceiling! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyW Posted January 29, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Never sailed on Carnival, but we were always able to store the car seats in the bottom of the closet - shoved in the corner - no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenrose Posted February 1, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2007 We're bringing a Sunshine Kids Radian 65 specifically because it folds. No WAY do I want to fight my way around the Britax every time I want to get anywhere, and I think our close space is going to be tight with the suitcases, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrity Bride Posted February 1, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I have taken 2 car seats on a cruise as well. We stored them in the shower (one stacked on the other) when we were not using it. When we were using the shower, we just put the car seats on the bed.

highcard Posted February 12, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2007 My nephew will be 18 months old when we travel. Did you have to take your carseat with you on all excursions or did they provide them with excursions,or did you just hold your baby? Can't imagine having to carry the carseat to beach and have it in the sand all day!! Any help and tips would be great! Thanks, Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine having to carry the carseat to beach and have it in the sand all day!! Any help and tips would be great! Thanks, Erin These things keep me awake at night too. From what I've read on these message boards, it all depends. It depends on the island/area you're at, whether you're on a big tour bus, whether you're in a taxi, etc. We plan to book tours that take buses so we don't have to worry about it (most big buses = no car seats). I would HATE to take a taxi and not use a car seat, so we'll take the bus excursions. Where will you be cruising? I'll be in Freeport, Bahamas; Grand Cayman; and Costa Maya, Mexico. Perhaps someone will know the rules or have advice for our ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highcard Posted February 12, 2007 #8 Share Posted February 12, 2007 We are leaving out of Ft.Lauderdale April 1st, going to Grand Cayman, Roatan, Cozumel and Key West. I guess we will just have to carry the car seat around. I have heard there are some crazy taxi drivers in other countries!

BettyBurrito Posted February 13, 2007 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have cruised with my son at 8 months and 2 1/2 years old. The only carseat we found available was a through Jeep excursion on Grand Cayman Island. It was a private comapny excursion so we were able to speak with the company who informed us of the carseat option. Otherwise, if you go on any excursion through your cruise line, they usually have no clue. We bought a portable carseat for our Western Caribbean cruise when DS was 2 1/2. The seat was so complicated and the seatbelts in the van were so twisted, we were never able to attach the thing. Bottom line is you probably have to lug your own seat around or go without. Even so, know how to attach the seat without using the latch system. It is a little more complex when attaching with seatbelts only. Good Luck!

highcard Posted February 13, 2007 #10 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks for the info! We did see the travel carseats, Thanks for the warning! Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnsheegirl Posted February 17, 2007 #11 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Check out a Carseat called the Sit N Stroll. It's a carseat that has a handle and wheels that pop out with the press of a lever. It's great for port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
