Subject: taking 9 month old to Iceland?
Question
My wife and I are thinking of going to Iceland in mid October with our 9 month old daughter. We are pretty adventurous and plan to do alot as a family. We are not worried about the weather but the practicality of activities there with a young child. I don't think we'll strap her to a dogsled but we will spend much of our time outside. Any advice would be appreciated.
Answer
I'm afraid I don't have any experience with 9-month-olds, but I think Iceland is pretty child friendly.
I expect you will want to rent a car. If your 9-month-old has particular food needs, and you are heading away from the cities, do a supermarket shop first. It's good to have a mobile phone with you just in case.
Obviously, wrap up warmly.
The family zoo in Reykjavik is good fun, although it may be closed in October, and of course there are lots of gentle walks you can do as a family. Thermal swimming pools are plentiful in Iceland and a typical family outing.
