As proud, albeit sleep deprived, new parents, we recognize the fact our priorities need to shift; but it doesn't mean we're dead! We still have the urge to travel. Now though we have to consider our little guy as well. So while a backpacking trip through Belize would be great, I just don't think it's the right trip for our newborn; we definitely need to visit baby-friendly destinations. Which got me thinking about how baby-friendly Vancouver is. We drag the boy everywhere we go, and rarely has that been a problem. Even some of the swankiest Vancouver establishments are gracious and accommodating. And while you might not get the best table in the house, you can still count on having a great experience. A few favourites haunts are
Wazubee's on Commercial Drive;
Subeez on Homer St;
Solly's Bagels on Yukon St;
Stella's on Commercial;
Locus on Main St. and
The Whip on E 6th Ave. The common thread with all of them? Great food, a casual, hip vibe and lots of room for strollers and car seats. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. I honestly can only think if a handful of spots where a baby would be a challenge. And don't forget there are tons of baby-friendly
attractions and activities here too. So if you're thinking about taking a BC vacation, and you've got a cherub in tow, don't sweat it - you'll find us most accommodating.
