Walking today, weather is fine, no showers for me! Have a date with Em tonight - first for a long time since Tom's arrival. Doing it car free is a challenge with a very small baby. All the bike trailers are designed for kids who can sit upright. There does not seem to be anything on the market to safely carry a baby in. So to do it without a car we have to use a mix of walking (pushing the pram) and public transport. Of course in the spirit of the challenge I have previously attempted to co-opt Tom into the trike experience. He did seem happy with it, even though he couldn't reach the pedals.
So to "go out" with a small baby and do it car free is a bit of a logistical challenge that goes like this. I walk to work in the morning. In the late afternoon Em walks with Tom in Pram for about 6-7 km to my sisters place, who will baby sit for us. Em feeds Tom and leaves some expressed milk in case we do not make the 3 hour in between feeds window. I meet Em at movies. See movie. Tram to sisters. Tom in Pram. Pram to tram and then home!
There was only one bit of this that didn't go to plan. The line into the movies was so long that by the time we would have got our ticket the movie would have started, and of course the next start time for the movie would have been outside out in between feed window. So we went out for food!
It was a little windy as per the forcast as we waited for the tram, but it would have been a pleasant cooling breeze if we were riding putting a trailer. Getting the pram into the tram was a bit of a tight fit. I conclude a bike trailer safe for babies would be good.
10.00pm We all arrive home we are all exhausted, but it was a good night out! Would have been easy to do with a trailer for Tom, if there was anything on the market.
