Public transportation considerations for children in North Eastern USA
My wife and I will be going to Fairfield, CT in April with our 2 kids (2yo and 9mo), we might be going to NYC for a day or two.
My question comes with public transportation and the kids, I know if they need to go in a car the need to be properly seated in child seats, which makes me believe getting cabs is going to be a pain.
But moreover, are there any special considerations to think off to go on a bus, subway or train with them?
So far all I've found that to go in the subway, if we have strollers we need to pick up the kids and close the strollers to go into the sub, does this also apply for the MTA that goes from Fairfield to Grand Central?
What do I need to take into account (public transport wise) when traveling with small children to the USA?
