Can I Travel With My Baby With My Infant Car Seat Without The Base?
Have Infant Car Seat Without Base, Will Travel...
This past weekend I was attending a travel writer’s conference in New York City – sans kids.

The tap water is potable, and safe for bathing, toothbrushing, washing dishes, etc. Bottled water (readily available) may be preferred for drinking and preparing formula, mixing cereal, etc.
