What rides do you take baby on?

[WillowRain]

I was just looking at the map, and I thought "Hmmm, what about Toy Story?" I have only rode once, but I remember it being kind of whippy on the turns. No height limit, but would a 7 month old be scared?

What rides have you taken baby on and what rides scared them?

Only thing that scared my dude at that age was a delay in nursing.

POTC, small world...those are two that we enjoyed. Though our first trip was when he was 17 months old. Jungle cruise. The train (that's still closed right?).

All long rides only to be done when the diaper is recently changed and you don't anticipate crankiness.

Ok that's all I'm remembering right now lol.

We, sadly, didn't go to DCA until he was 3. If we hadn't been so silly, most of bugs land would have been great for him and us.

I personally wouldn't take a baby on the teacups or the equivalent in bugs land.

Toy Story can get a little whippy, but I've taken my dd on it with no problems since she was around 2months old. At first, I kept her in the Ergo and held her head at the turns. That's something you can certainly do with a 7 month old if they like the carrier. With her, I think she was on my lap by that age and I just held on extra tight. She's 2 now and hasn't been on it in a few trips, but the last time she rode it, I'm pretty sure she was just next to me with my arm around her.

As far as other rides, all without height restriction are fine for a 7 month old. Like pp mentioned, I wouldn't go crazy on the teacups, but that's probably common sense. Most rides let you wear the baby, if you want and let them be on your lap. Rodger Rabbit is one that the will not do either. I learned that the hard way! At 7 months old, dd hadn't developed a fear of any rides and it was so much fun to watch her look around and really start paying attention to her surroundings. That's when she fell in love with Small World! She has since stopped liking faster movement, which makes it hard.

Children have to be able to sit completely independently on Roger Rabbit (no holding), so a 7 month old can't really ride it. Even if they can sit up on the floor, they can't hold themselves up on the ride. That ride is whippy!

We took oldest for her first birthday and our second went at 3 weeks and again shortly after turning one. We're waiting to take our third, so hard to wait . We pretty much took them on everything they could go on. The rides that have height requirements a baby can't ride anyway. With Toy Story (and Buzz too) the issue is that it makes it more difficult for you, the player. You can take the baby on the ride, it's not too jarring or anything. But you will have to hold him/her.

I don't think there would be a scared issue as they don't know to be afraid of things at that age. Usually they just have stranger danger issues, don't leave me mommy, why is that mouse with the big head looking at me? LOL! Actually my kids loved the characters.

I think it depends on the baby. We just got back with my 5 month old. He startles easily and really hated the Buzz ride. We ended up not taking him on many rides because he was happiest people watching on a bench, and we had several extra adults to take turns watching him. Of the ones he went on, he seemed to enjoy the Little Mermaid ride the most.

We took our DS at age 3 months then 1 year 3 months and he did great and loved TSMM both times. As far as I can recall he did well on anything he was allowed on with the exception of Roger Rabit because he wanted to sit with me and when we got wet on Pirates (he liked it the other times just not that time lol). I also used the ergo both years- the first with infant insert in it- and I was careful to hold his head on TSMM because it is jerky.

Everything they were allowed to go on. They were more freaked out by the characters than anything.

I took my 7 week old ds on tsmm in WDW, I just made sure to support his head and hang on for the turns. Other than strangers (and even then only if they were holding him) my son wasn't afraid of anything at 7 months.
