WDW park rides with a 6 month old - what can we go on?

[AEpoppins34]

We'll be at WDW in just 5 days and I'm wondering what rides you've taken your infant on? My son will be 6 months and we'll be visiting all the parks. I'm sure there are plenty and I've several in mind, but I'd love to hear from those who've actually done it and what your experience was like. We are also traveling with our 6 and 3 y/o so being able to ride rides as a family is really important to me. Thanks!

The baby can go on anything without a height requirement. It's probably easier to list what he can't go on. You can google and get a list of rides with height requirements.

The only ride I would be careful of that doesn't have a height requirement is Toy Story Mania. It has lap bar like Tilt A Whirl and it is a jerky ride. It will be somewhat precarious to hold the baby in your lap, but it can be done. Don't expect to play/shoot though.
Magic Kingdom has the most rides you can go on with the baby.

On one ride, they required my baby to sit forward in the seat. I was beside her and was able to hold on to her, just not have her in my lap.

Thanks for the replies. It's helpful to hear from those who've actually done it since some rides, like Toy Story, with no height restriction really aren't a good idea for a baby (IMO). Its been a couple years since I've been so my brain is foggy about noise level on the rides too. I have baby ear muffs to help with the sound if need be. Any other rides you would rethink taking a baby on? Any rides you felt were too loud for little ears? Any rides you loved taking your baby on?

My middle was 8 months our last trip. She loved Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh. Most everything she rode while she was in the Ergo or Boba with no problem. The only ride we had an issue with was the Carousel where they made me take her out of the carrier and hold her while she sat on a horse which I thought was a little ridiculous. We didn't go back on that one after that.

We took our 4 mo old on every ride that didnt have a height requirement including the safari ride and all the shows as well. He loved all the rides and was happy to be in our laps instead of the car seat

We took my daughter at 8.5 months and she did really well. We even went on the Haunted Mansion! I felt Winnie the Pooh was a little jerky and we'll probably skip that one this time around when she is 19mo. Peter Pan was great though, as was Dumbo, Jungle Cruise, People Mover, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (we were part of the show!), Pirates of the Caribbean, Carousel (DD spit up after this one - yikes!), and It's a Small World. DD loved the movies and shows too. We were surprised at how much we could do with her. Like a PP noted, anything without a height restriction is fine.

Don't forget to use the ride swap too for those with the height requirement. That will allow both you and hubby to ride some rides with your older kids, who will be able to ride back to back as well.

We went went DD was 11 months. I wore her in our Ergo carrier most of the trip. I wore her on TSM with no problem.
