anyone done this before? any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. it is going to be very hot at night so we do have a fan for his tent. he sleeps in a crib, i was considering just putting his playpen in a little pup tent just for him so he won’t be disturbed. are we going to be able to take him and have fun? hes a pretty good little boy. but still very babyish. and not walking yet, but trying very hard and possibly will be walking by the time we go camping. thanks

My friend told me its free, or well included into the total price of the unit but how much a month do they cost?

A consumer electronics company sells 6.7 million MP3 players per month at a price of $100 apiece; when the price is lowered to $80, the company sells 10.2 million players per month. How many MP3 players can the company expect to sell per month at a price of $75?

I am trying to find out the best summer camps for my children. Elder is of 15 years and younger is of 9 years. I want the assurance of security and unique activities.

I plan to fly to LA, and travel cross-country by coach and train through the Southwest, South and up the east to Boston before flying back to LA and then back home to Australia. I plan to stay in fairly affordable accommodation, and don’t mind staying in hostels, camping etc.
I haven’t calculated or consulted a travel agent or anything, and just wonder roughly how much I would need not including airfare if I were to go for a month-long, self-guided cross country tour of the States. Thanks.

i want to be able to follow my vehicle where ever it goes. which is the best device for that? what service plan does it use? what is the cost?

So I just came home to find an e-mail saying he had to go to another camp and he can’t call or e-mail for a whole month. I am going crazy now. I worry about him so much already. Like this is the last e-mail or anything I will get for another month. I can’t stop crying and panicking. Do you really think it will be a whole month before he can call or email?

My boyfriend is on a very tight budget whereas I am not. I want to get him something special for our anniversary that he thinks is cheap but may not be. I also want it to be sentimental, but I don’t know what to get him. We’ve been camping, hiking, to Kings Island, to the movies, to family dinners, to the pool, the mall, and lots of other things, so I don’t necessarily want to go somewhere.
He is very unpredictable, but loves everything I give him (or so he says?) What do I do?

Camping with a baby just means bringing lots more stuff. We camped with friends of ours several times over the last few years and they started with the oldest one at 3 months! What I’ve learned from them is that
babies will sleep quite happily in the pack and go play pens.
A bouncy chair is great fun in the grass.
Bring the swing chair if your child likes it!!
Put up a tarp for constant shade
Keep BBQ away from where you will be sitting, put it up high so baby can’t pull it down (it was stone cold and just a small hibachi but could have been much much worse)
Anything you wouldn’t leave on your coffee table at home also needs to remain in the totes if you are not using it. (2 year olds are fast and sneaky and camping stuff is new and shiny)
have a fan that you can either plug into the car or run on batteries in case it gets really warm (also helps to keep bugs away)
an electric cooler (one that you run from the car for 3 hours and then it stays cold for works great
Don’t let the car run out of gas or battery die!!!
Bring twice as many diapers as you think you will need (especially if breastfeeding or if baby is starting on eating off your plate, what you eat when camping is so different than normal that baby’s system might get a little off)
know where the closest hospitals and walk in clinics are, make sure the camp site is serviced by 911 (learned that their second child is severely allergic to certain bug sprays – she wasn’t sprayed with it but was held by several people who were wearing it and she got the most awful rash and was having problems breathing – that was scary!!)
Basically pack everything you could ever need for the baby and use common sense. Always keep the baby in arms reach. If you can enjoy a vacation like that then go for it!
We plan on going camping next year when our little one will be around 8 months and I’m not worried at all except about where we are going to rent a big enough trailer to bring everything with us!!

My boyfriends family is having a family reunion up in Minnesota the first week in August. My son will be 4 months by then. I was talking to his Dr. yesterday and she said that I can not put any sun block or bug spray on him until he is at least 6 months. We are going to be camping, staying in cabins, but I am very worried about all the different bugs. Does anyone know of anything i can do, beside just stay home with him? There is a lot of family that has not seen him yet and wants to really bad. I know they would all understand, but I think it will be a really good time for him to get outdoors. My Dr. mentioned something about some Avon lotion and I think i have heard that there are masquitoe nets that you can put over the stroller. Does anyone have any advice about what i can do and where I can get these products?
