How do I transport my baby around NYC (or any other big city)?
We're thinking about our next vacation and want to take our 9 month old son. But we have never travelled far with him before. At home, we take him everywhere with our car or stroller. We have no clue how one would safely take a baby on public transportation like a subway or bus. Also, what do you do with a baby if you take a cab? Do we need to carry our car seat around with us everywhere?

I live in a city. I have a big stroller for walking around and a smaller umbrella stroller that I use when I have to take public transportation. When my husband and I are together and taking public transportation he usually carries our son in the baby carrier. But sometimes I carry the umbrella stroller folded up as well.
You don't need a car seat for cabs, legally. It's a bit dicey, and we avoid taking them as much as possible. But everyone who lives in a city ends up with their baby on their lap in a cab at one point or another.

Stroller - you lug it up and down the subway stairs and hope the subway isn't packed so you can fit on it with the stroller.
Cab you can put stroller in the trunk and hold the baby in the cab.
You will probably end up taking a lot more cabs than riding on the subway, especially after walking around all day you will dread the thought of lugging it up and down those stairs...

strollers go on trains, you don't need a car seat in cabs (i don't get why), basically the same way you get around now. a lot of the train stations don't have elevators, so be prepared to carry the stroller up & down A LOT of crowded stairways!
