Do-able, but not necessarily fun (navigating through Penn Station, say, would be a PITA). [ Reply | More ]

sure but one adult with one kid is no big deal. not that she'll get to read a novel or anything. but it's not like she's going to be feeding an infant while the 3 y.o. runs off or something. [ Reply | More ]

ita. and i actually think that it's a very good situation. he'll be fascinated by penn station and by the train. then you can bring some sticker books or activity books for on the train itself. [ Reply | More ]

i am not an anti- tv mom at all but i don't think that's necessary for a 4 hour trip with only one child. the mom could read books, do sticker books, color, talk with her child about what they're passing, how a train works - there are so many things you can do for four hours if you're dealing with one child at a time.
