We visited New York City with our baby Emma at 7 months old, and it was a blast. We went all over Manhattan, crossed the Statue of Liberty off our bucket list, and\u00a0did lots of other fun things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will she remember it? Probably not. But we will, and we\u2019ll be able to tell her about it someday and show her pictures of all the cool places she went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though we\u2019re seasoned travelers, we\u2019re new parents, and this was one of our very first trips with a baby, so we were a little bit nervous about everything. New York is a huge city, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re there, you realize it\u2019s actually easier, safer, and more manageable than you might think, especially if you go in with realistic expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are our tips for visiting New York City with a baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went almost everywhere by walking and using the subway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYC is very stroller-friendly at the street level, but if you plan to use the subway,\u00a0not all stations have elevators. Many have stairs only, and even when there is an elevator, it may be out of order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those cases, you\u2019ll definitely want a light and handy stroller that\u2019s easy to fold and carry. We used a\u00a0Babyzen YOYO2\u00a0stroller and it worked great for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strollers are allowed on the subway cars, and we always had plenty of room for ours, but with a bulky full-size one you\u2019d definitely struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having the right stroller will save you a lot of hassle in New York!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lightweight stroller is best<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baby carriers are great for stairways or tight spaces, and you\u2019ll undoubtedly run into some of those in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though we had a stroller, we were glad to have a baby carrier sometimes for the subway and certain other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used an\u00a0Ergobaby Omni Breeze\u00a0and would recommend it. It\u2019s advertised as fitting babies from 7 to 45 pounds (~0-48 Months), and it was perfect for our 7-month-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was especially handy when we visited the Statue of Liberty, because we wanted to sit on the top level of the ferry for the best views, and you have to climb multiple stairways and navigate a crowd of other tourists on the ferry to get there. It would be a pain to do with a stroller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
