Traveling to DC with 3y old toddlers. Not a whole lot of commuting in the city but there will be some.

Looking for some suggestions from locals on how to manage the car seats requirement. I don’t want to travel with car seats. I can’t tell if Uber in DC has car seat option. And googled to find some options like KidCar etc but I have no experience with them.

you can get uber with car seats - but also you can take the metro around as an alternative

If you're going downtown I'd suggest a stroller on the metro

Thanks all for suggestions. Hauled a wagon with us as we were traveling by the Acela. Took the Metro to get from Union station to get to our friend’s place. Reserved 2 separate Uber + car seat for the twins to travel to see family and that worked out great. Will do the same to get back to Union station for our train ride back. Thanks all.

Thanks for the update! Glad it worked out

You can also rent car seats through a company for the short time you are in dc. My cousin did that when he visited a couple of years ago.

1) Sit in the back with your kids and strap them in

2) Take metro and sit in the handicap area with your kids in the stroller in front of you

3) Rent a car and rent car seats with the rental car

4) Walk

5) Bike with your kids in the ride along pull cart

Get a WayB pico. Uber does have car seat option but needed to be scheduled ahead of time or plan to wait a while

We took the metro with my kids. Just stay at a hotel that’s close to the station. Otherwise we had RiderSafe vests for our kids at that age. That way we had an alternative to grab an Uber if we needed it. We even used our RiderSafe vests in Europe and Asia where car seats weren’t a requirement.

If you’re staying in DC proper, highly recommend the metro. It’s set up great and not too confusing. If you’re staying outside of DC (nova or md suburbs) then it might get tricky

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Based on current environments, I’ve two hypotheses:
1. Comp packages in competitive fields will continue strongly due to: a. less supply of top talent (great resignation), b. less willingness to work demanding jobs (push for wlb), and c. Rising living costs - inflation
2. Comp packages will get readjusted…
