We are less than 30 days from our family cruise aboard the Magic to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Cost Maya. The cruise and port taxi situation has thrown me. I've searched and read so much about car seats, booster seats, and looked for travel options for two grandsons and I'm surprised at how lean the information is for those cruising. I could use help from those of you with experience cruising in the Caribbean with toddlers.
Both DGS just had birthdays; one is four years old and the other is two. The older DGS is 33 pounds and the younger is about 28 pounds. When flying stateside the boys have their car seats. I can't imagine trying to lug those around at the beach. I thought I had found the solution with a Safety 1st product but it is now retired and only available on eBay. That is the best option so far for the 28 pound 2 year old DGS. The other purchase option is a Bubble Bum thing on Amazon, but the starting weight is 40 pounds.
I've been to Grand Cayman and Cozumel and have used taxis in both places, but I did not have DGS with me. For those of you who have visited ports with toddlers, how did you handle the car seat / booster seat question when traveling in the Caribbean?
