traveling with an infant

[ctgirlscout]

We provide a couple of umbrella strollers. If the villa you choose doesn't have one, they are very inexpensive at the local Wal-Mart--only about $10.

We are planning to add baby equipment to our villa in October when we are there. It is interesting to note that the travel cot variety can be unpopular with infants, think we will go for the normal one. Also were unsure about the pushcahir/stroller as we thought parents were likely to bring their own but maybe they prefer to hir one of these as well. Will have to do a little more research before we dash out and buy anything.[msnsmile2]

I have to admit that none of my babies ever settled in a travel cot, but with a full size crib 12 hours sleep no probs![msnwink]

Hi,

We have lots of babies and I know what you mean about traveling with all that stuff!

I do provide a travel crib, stoller and I am adding next week a baby monitor as well. (This way you can enjoy a dip in the pool while the baby is sleeping!)
Have fun planning your Trip!!

When we were thinking of stuff for the villa baby equipment was near the top of the list. We have kids and know that the less stuff you have to take with you the better so it was off to the shops for the essentils,monitors and bathseats as well as the usual high chairs/cots/strollers.

I forgot to mention- I also supply a bed gate for sleeping. One of my beds is up against a wall- so with the bed gate- it makes it better for the little ones to sleep and not "roll around".

We had considered bikes too Heather As we can't get out until April, we will see? Might be easier to just go and have a real Walmart spend up!! Any excuse[^]

Of course you should ask about "baby equipment" when you make an enquiry. We do provide cot - full size, baby stroller, high chair, baby alarms, toys etc. and not all of this is mentioned in our listing.
Many Owners do provide similar - and indeed more-equipment so do ask.
Have a wonderful holiday

could you please ellaberate a litte as to what you mean by a "baby cot" is this a full size crib or a little pack and play type of thing thank you so much

[huckleberry house]

Yes a cot would refer to a full size crib-usually wooden with side rails etc.If the home you like doesnt have one of these there is a company that can provide you with one for a reasonable fee or maybe the owner would consider obtaining it for you, they then erect it into any room of your choice ready for when you arrive.


Cheers, Lesley

I think these cots/cribs come in all sorts of sizes. Ours is wooden and is not a travel cot but does fold up a bit to put in one of our closets. If there is a specific type/ size you require then just ask the owners when you find a short list of villas you are considering. Owners may be able to provide a photo even and can often arrange/ hire a full size one from their Management company if they don't have one themselves
