My youngest is 1 and I've never taken a child that young to Disneyland. Can he sit on my lap for any of the rides?

I recently went to Disneyland with my sister and my Nephew. He had just turned Two. We went on the following rides.

Pirates of the Carribean
Haunted Mansion
Disneyland Railroad
Dumbo
Peter Pan
Grand Carousel
Matterhorn
small World
Jungle Cruise
Autopia
Tea Cups

We did not go into Toon Town. I would suggest waiting until at least Two years old or your child is at least 35 inches tall, as that is the minimum hight for a lot of rides.

The problem is that on most rides, there is a slight to moderate jerking motion or bounce, and it is very dangerous to infants since they do not have well developed neck muscles.

Any Fantasyland ride(Except Matterhorn and Tea Cups) is just fine phyiscally. However, if he does not like the "Dark" all of the dark rides such as Peter Pan, Alice, Snow White, Pinochio you might have to forget about. It really depends on his temperment, and only you would know if he would be okay.

Other OK rides include
---------------------------
Monorail
Mark Twain River Boat
Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Tom Saywer Island(Pirate Layer)
Disneyland Railroad
Main Street Vehicles
Tiki Room
Jungle Cruise
Mickey and Minnies House
Goofy's play area- But may still be a bit young
Tarzan's Treehouse(If you want to climb up stairs)
Main Street Cinema

Borderline Rides(Might need to use discression)
-------------------------
Pirates of the Carribean
Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
Haunted Mansion
Roger Rabbit Cartoon Spin(If you don't spin)


You should ask at each attraction if Lap Sitting is allowed. As the cast member at that attraction would know best.

I'd have to agree, that probably only Dumbo...and I think that's "iffy" at best...and agree with the 3 years old recommendation as well.

Prepare to have one person stay off each ride to stay with the infant if you do go. There is just too much chance that if there was a sudden move on the ride, that could cause you to lose your hold in the child, and the child being dropped, to make it worth while.

I dont think they allow lap sitting on any of the rides, plus is you baby decieded to start crying in the middle of a ride it would disrupt everyone. You can use child swap for rides, this is where you all wait in line then tell a cast member you want to do child swap, one of you rides while the other waits with the kid, then you switch without waiting in line again.

We took my son to Disneyland for the first time when he was two. I was really surprised at how many rides he was able to ride on. Age really isn't the restriction, it is the child's height; so, really a lot depends on how tall your child is. For example, at 35 inches a child can ride the Matterhorn; when we took my son the first time, he was 36 inches.

My son's favorite ride (and we easily spent an hour straight on it the first day) was the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. He loved it! He knew the characters and it wasn't a wild ride. Of course, he also loved Gadget's Go Coaster -- a child's version of a roller coast that adults can go on, too, located in Mickey's Toontown. I won't list all of the rides we went on because previous posts list them, but below you can find a link for Disneyland's height restrictions.

Don't forget, there is also California Adventure; they have "a bug's land" which consists of rides for the smaller set. Remember this, too, it is free to get in to Disneyland and California Adventure for any child under three years of age; once a child turns three, he/she is $53.00 for a single day's park entrance to Disneyland OR California Adventure or $73.00 for a single day's park hopper ticket.

Before my son was born, I was of the belief I wouldn't take my child to Disneyland before he/she would have memories of his/her first time at Disneyland, but I am so glad that we took him earlier. I admit that I don't know if he will remember his first trip to Disneyland, but I know that I always will and I will never forget seeing his face and hearing his giggle when he experienced each and every new ride; it truly was like magic!

it incredibly is irresponsible. those styles of rides at the instant are not meant to right restrain or accomodate babies that youthful- with or and not making use of a confirm. for this reason you get people who're injured or killed at places like this via fact mothers and dads are too stupid to heed the warnings and picture that "it won't take place to my baby via fact it incredibly is no longer that undesirable"... I recommend, look at what got here approximately some years in the past with their area gravity attraction and that baby that died from a heart attack on it via fact he became into too youthful and had a concern that the rides warnings for sure suggested do no longer experience IF.. the mothers and dads did no longer heed it and now their baby is lifeless. At Disney they are extra helpful off in Toon city it extremely is geared for babies and preschoolers.
