Will, E and I just got back from our weekend away. We had to choose between plane or train (as we have no automobile) for our getaway, and decided on train. For our departure trip, Will reserved the "kleine Kinder" (small children) car for an extra 6 euros. I didn't know what this would entail, and I was deeply concerned that it meant that we just paid 6 euros to sit in a confined space wherein an orchestra of babies make each other scream louder and louder. I might have mentioned this concern to my husband, politely and deferentially, of course, about 9 or 12 times.
Man oh man, was I wrong. The kleine Kinder car is the only way to travel with babies, come to find out. It's basically your own little apartment, with space for your stroller, a table, long bank of seats for baby to spread out, a changing table, and glass doors for a bit of privacy. So you can feel free to do whatever it takes to keep that baby happy, whether it's suffer through the I-don't-wanna-nap fussing, or making faces and noises that you are not proud of just to make her laugh. It was bliss. In fact, for future trips, we've decided that the availability of the kleine Kinder car will dictate our destination. We also decided that our future trip won't be for a little while. So. very. tired.
