Travelling to Sydney with Toddler

[cyberfish88]

Thanks for all the good info, especially on car seats LeahH and kiwiinoz. That helps a lot.

How stroller friendly is Sydney, especially the trains? Is it reasonable to think we can get almost anywhere using the train system (even Airport to downtown) with just our Maclaren stroller and a baby bjorn?

Expect to be annoyed by the trains - they're no where near as clean or efficient as Hong Kong!! It depends on where you are going, but if you're going away from the city a bit, sometimes the trains only go every half hour or something crazy - so it's more important to check out timetables!! http://www.cityrail.nsw.gov.au/

They do have a train from the airport to downtown. It's not an "express" one like Hong Kong though - the airport is much closer to downtown but the train still takes probably half an hour (and doesn't leave as frequently either!!)

I've never taken a stroller on the train, but most stations do seem to be pretty accessible for that kinda thing... I DO think that Sydney is MORE stroller-friendly than Hong Kong!!
