Hotels in Branson, MO

Branson is the lowest prices for hotels and resorts. My four sisters and I stayed there for two nights at condo $200 something like that. Two bathrooms, two beds, it was just prefect place to enjoy. And Dixies Stampeded is worth to see, great foods and great for kiddos.

Still Waters Resort!!

Big Cedar! My MIL is a member, message me if you need some dates. She may be able to hook you up. There's also The Falls Villa in town, owned by the same company. Not has cool since its in town but still very nice and easier to get into, depending on when you're wanting to go.

Big Cedar Lodge

We like to stay at the Barrington we book through hotels.com, clean, friendly & breakfast isn't bad. It's not on the strip but we have stayed there many times.

I travelled long haul (14hr, 3hr, 1hr flights over 26hr period or so) alone when my boy was 6.5m and 8mo and again with husband at 11m and return. Also to a 9 hr time difference. I baby wear through the airport. Baby on front, backpack on back and 4 wheel carry on. I purchased a travel stroller which does fit into overhead but I bag check it (I got a mountain buggy Nano and use it still now when necessary, the Yoyo is always well rated and there's another called a GB pockit). I hire a carseat where I am going, as to not risk airline damage etc but also convenience. Essentials in the backpack, the rest/spare stuff in the carry on. Blanket to use in bassinet on plane/on the ground, toys, in our case formula, dummy, nappies (what you think you'll need plus extra), Wipes, baby nasal spray like fess to keep nose moisturised, spare clothes for me and him, a passport wallet for all that stuff with a pen in it. Paracetamol liquid can be good to have on you. Once in the air I take the backpack down so I don't have to get up and down. Some people baby wear for sleeping on the plane but I've had no problems using the bassinet - make sure you request one on your ticket though. Airlines have different policies for allocation. I follow country of origin time/routine until I land and then switch, but that's also easy for me as I am always arriving at my destination either in the later evening or first thing in the morning. Don't worry about disturbing people on the plane, you have just as much right to be there. Just focus on you and keeping babe happy. Go for a wander, find a space at the back of the plane for playtime if necessary, basically just do whatever you have to do to survive, even if that's taking it hour by hour. Feed or dummy on take off and landing. Adjusting to time differences - at night if he wouldn't sleep, I just kept it dark and kept him settled but tried not to make it play time. Up at normal times and down at normal times for the new time zone. If he seemed to be over sleeping, I would wake him so he didnt confuse the time of day. Both times he adjusted fairly quickly, maybe a few days on the way there. Going forward in time seems to be easier than going back, so we get the most jet-lagged coming home. Factor in extra time for your car trips and plan stops. I did around 1200km my first time overseas (but in my own country) on my own with babe. We just took our time, stopped as necessary to eat, pee, change etc. Broke up journeys with stops as we could. I did find the climate change and flight made him snotty both times, so we use fess saline spray to help combat that. I hope that helps :) enjoy your trip!

Hi! Someone on one of my local groups also asked about rentals in Colorado and this company was suggested: https://babysaway.com/locations/#Colorado I haven't used them myself, but looks like they offer a lot of stuff. Have fun! I love Colorado.

Im going to CO next week and renting stuff from here! http://www.zbabygear.com/

Telluride is stunning! I've never been there in the summer, but I bet you could take some walks and enjoy some epic scenery. I'd recommend a sun hat or shade for baby and you. The sun is quite harsh up there. There are a bunch of hot springs in the Colorado/Utah area, or just regular swimming holes, and I love taking my babies swimming so that's the sort of thing I'd look for. I don't know a specific one to recommend. I've been to glenwood springs and it was incredible and warm, but I went in the winter. I'm not sure if it would feel too warm in the summer.

Go with the flow when it comes to sleep. Only god know what will happen with that! So, i'm from Denver... and I miss it terribly. I can't help you with baby gear rentals, but as for things to do: Red Rocks, Morrison, Roxborough State Park, Downtown Denver, cherry creek trail, washington park, rocky mountain arsenal, old elitch's, buffalo bill's grave down into Golden, evergreen lake. Allow me to plug especially the Colorado Symphony. Them's my peeps. I miss them so much. Have a good trip!

I don't know CO very well but I was advised to have baby suck on something (pacifier, your finger) when changing altitudes to help with the pressure. So, for flights take off and landing, and driving up to the mountains. I did that when we drove to our local resort (7-8000 ft base elevation) and baby didn't even notice a change. Good luck and have fun!!!

No baby traveling tips but if you want sightseeing ideas for Utah, let me know. That's where I am.

thanks so much everyone!! we decided to go via Denver (better flights) and our friend in SLC is not at home when we could be there... your tips are amazing! I will keep on checking and if someone remembers anything more, we are happy to hear! I will also come back how things worked out for us.

Hi! We just flew - not as far - but from east coast to west coast, and I'm happy to send you my packing list if that's helpful! I'm a list person :)

I'm in Denver, and I agree, Telluride is amazingly beautiful. Lately, it's been 90+ degrees Fahrenheit, so 32+ degrees Celsius. Because of the altitude, you should all plan on drinking more liquids every day, and wearing sunscreen/hats when you are outside, especially the baby. If you spend time in Denver, you can now take a light rail from the airport to downtown, which is nice. There are lots of breweries in and around downtown and those are usually baby (and dog) friendly. There's a cool children's museum near downtown that has a baby and toddler area. Our zoo is also not too far from downtown. If you rent a car, you should definitely see Red Rocks. I don't have a single stroller but I do have a pack and play we received used from a friend and only used a few times ourselves, but if you'd like to borrow that, you can. We live near downtown. When we flew a much shorter distance, we baby wore the twins and pushed their stroller through the airport to gate check it. Ours were 9-10 months on their first flight and we brought lots of snacks, old toys I'd hidden for a few weeks and some new toys for distraction.
