Do We Need a Stroller for International Travel?

On this episode: Zak, Jamilah, and Elizabeth answer a listener question about whether it’s really necessary to lug around strollers and car seats during an international trip. The answer is complicated, but among other tips, we do recommend the following:

• The City Mini stroller
• The gb Pockit+ stroller line
• The Doona car seat/stroller system
• The Mifold compact booster seat
• The CARES harness for plane seats

We also dole out a round of regular recommendations and share some stuff that listeners have been loving – and for our Slate Plus listeners, we’ll imagine our own personal parenting training montages (shoutout to listener Aili and her son Silas).  

Jamilah recommends: A hotel staycation (but voluntary)

Elizabeth recommends: Magic Puzzle Company Puzzles 

Zak recommends: Taki
