I was reading through websites trying to gather information on backpacking with a baby. I am 25 weeks pregnant now and due in april 2010 and then will have six months off maternity leave. I would love to get some travel done in this time with the baby and trying to plan a trip to go to argentina for 4-6 weeks when the baby will be 4 months. Can I ask where you went and how easy it was to get around? Also, do you think it would be possible to do this as a single parent? I have travelled for 14 months though south east asia so quite a bit of experience. Any advice you could give would be great. Thanks. hi there, hope you don’t mind me writing.

We traveled with our 4 month old twin boys to Argentina for 3 weeks and while it was harder than how we were previously used to traveling, we had so much fun with them. I would advise people to look closely at the country you are traveling in and how friendly they are to babies/children. For instance, I would not suggest the USA! Argentina on the other hand...we were treated like gold. Great article!

The thoughts from somebody say with a 1 and 2 year old and one on the way would be of the ultimate value. Maybe that sounds over the top, but I'm just saying, it seems like not too many people here are speaking with a whole lot of perspective. One kid, especially a younger baby, is a piece of cake, although I do completely understand why first-time parents might have a hard time experiencing it as such, and in that regard I do see this article as encouraging for some, but still it would be awesome to hear more about those say with a toddler and/or multiple kids taking on adventures.

The challenges of a family on the road are just different to the challenges of a family settling within society but to those with insight, to share both with your children, in my mind is truly a gift.

I will be marrying soon and my fiancee and I are both very active, love traveling and the sort. Thanks for sharing this. :) It is reassuring to see that this is possible.

With any luck we'll be joining the 'parent club' soon and it's comforting to read that traveling doesn't have to end when babies are born! Everyone keeps saying, 'oh, I'm so glad you're traveling now before you settle down.' I hope we never settle down! Thanks for this story!
