Pushchairs in restaurants

[shaz luvs tink]

Are you ok to take your pushchairs into restaurants? Mostly counter service but thinking mama Melrose, BOG in parks. Will be visiting polite pig, blaze pizza and Wolfgang puck express at Disney springs. Baby will only be a few months old.
Thanks

Generally no, you can’t take a pushchair in. There just isn’t enough space. We were allowed once at raglan rd because both kids were asleep but they made a right fuss. DD was 11 weeks and DS 3.
I have seen people bring them into bog but would say it’s an exception rather than the rule.
Definitely not enough room at blaze or polite pig.

Thanks, I don’t recall ever seeing pushchairs in restaurants but it’s never something I’ve really looked for.

we traveled when our dd was 3 months old. I’d recommend a sling if some kind. There are lots of places the pushchair can’t go. However we also had times when we were allowed to bring the pushchair in and they removed a chair and put it at the table as DD was too small for the high chair. If was quite a mixed response.

The sling is very helpful for queues, restaurants etc. I had a cloth one that I could get her in and out of easily and we still used the pushchair most of the time but had the sling for those areas we couldn’t use it.

Thanks we are planning on taking a sling but obviously if baby is sleeping it would be easier not to have to take her out of her pram, she will also be about 3 months old so to small for a highchair.

My dd is 15 now so things may have changed but we found a very few places had an infant chair. Sort of like a bucket car seat that a small baby could use. But not everywhere by any means. That may have improved in 15 years.

We were allowed to take the buggy in most places (including blaze) when we had a baby too small for a highchair. The only one that said no was the quick service in Pandora. It's not guaranteed though and you're best to have a sling just in case.

Thankyou. Interesting how it seems quite hit and miss. I suppose we will just have to take each day as it comes and if they let us it’s a bonus.

Probably also depends on how big your pram is. We went with our son when he was 3 months old but had the Babyzen YoYo. When the staff saw how compact it was with the handle folded down, I don’t think we had a problem bringing it in anywhere next to the table in place of a seat - including Le Cellier.
The tiny size folded up was so helpful with getting on/off buses as well, in hindsight I would have bought one even if we only used it for that trip! And you could also take it on board the plane as a carry on item

From memory, all the places you mention have outdoor seating which would make it much easier for you (if someone else is ordering) to keep the pushchair. Wolfgang Puck in particular has lots of outdoor seating with loads of space for you to have the pushchair at the table.
