Buggy Friendly Winter Walk in St Anton am Arlberg, Austria

This my regular buggy friendly winter walk in St Anton am Arlberg. I think I did this walk pretty much every day when D was tiny while she napped in the pram. I am assuming that you have a buggy that will cope with a little hard packed snow; this is a ski resort after all. It is a circular walk of approximately 2.7km. It will take around 40 minutes at a leisurely stroll with a buggy if you are also stopping to take photos.

Using a Sling in a Ski Resort. And Which Sling?

Before baby D was born I had images of using a sling virtually all the time. It seemed like a great idea for dealing with public transport, steps, shopping and so on. Anywhere the buggy would be unwieldy. I also thought it was a lovely idea for around the house; keeping the baby close while having hands free to get on with stuff. Here’s the reality of using a sling in a ski resort… Continue reading “Using a Sling in a Ski Resort. And Which Sling?” →

I had a list of several features we were looking for when choosing which buggy to take skiing with a baby:

  4. Ideally be usable from birth
  5. The model has a strong secondhand market

Ski Season with a Baby – Packing List

The packing list for a ski season is different to packing for travelling, as we will be in one place for a long period of time. Plus one of us was travelling by ferry and car, which means we had rather more flexibility in what we could take. This post covers what general baby stuff I found it useful to take with us.
