Your Guide for Things To Do in LA with a Baby

Griffith Park

Located at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Griffith Park area is home to many popular LA attractions like the Los Angeles Zoo and the Hollywood Sign. It’s helpful to use Griffith Park as a landmark to find a place to stay nearby as you explore the attractions and breathtaking views. Griffith Park also offers picnic areas, pony rides, golfing, and much more. With over 4,200 acres to explore, there’s plenty to do and see in Griffith Park.0

Don’t forget to bring some essentials with you: baby wipes after a pony ride, lunch and snacks for your picnic, and even a foldable changing pad in the event of a needed diaper change in the park. All your necessities can be stored in the Totebaby or The Pack for easy access. And put those 5 storage pockets in your Tushbaby to good use, too!

Adventure City

Adventure awaits in Los Angeles. At Adventure City you can explore acres of fun, but with a smaller, more intimate feeling than the larger parks in the area. Designed for all ages, there are activities like the Thomas The Tank™ Creative Play for your younger ones, and the Drop Zone for the bigger kids.

Disneyland

Disneyland is a bucket list item for families—escape reality for a day (or a week) as you explore the happiest place on earth with your little one. Navigating Disneyland with a toddler in tow is magical, but can also be a bit of a logistical challenge with all the essentials needed for a day. Be sure to plan ahead, as you’ll need to make sure the park has availability on the day you intend to visit. While strollers are allowed in most parts of the park, you may encounter times when you have to park your stroller.

Enter Tushbaby: your dream solution for those stroller-free and clingy baby moments. Tushbaby’s open-style design offers comfortable, non-restrictive babywearing, with thoughtfully placed storage pockets to keep your park essentials within arm's reach. And if you need extra space for those Mickey Mouse souvenirs, snacks, or extra diapers, check out The Pack! Our mini crossbody diaper bag can be worn around your chest, back, or around your waist for convenient access and lightweight wear.

LA Zoo

With nearly perfect weather year-round, the LA zoo is a roaring attraction in Griffith Park. As you prepare for a day of bringing your favorite storybook friends to life, you’ll want to plan ahead. Babywearing at the zoo is a great way to promote bonding time while helping your baby soak in all the experiences around them. With four carry positions available, Tushbaby allows you to share the sights with your child when they want “up”, and transition just as easily when they want “down.” If your little one is older and feeling particularly adventurous, you can fold and flaunt your Tushbaby like your favorite purse with our Crossbody Straps that clip onto your Tushbaby’s D-rings.

Rose Bowl Riders

Horses are amazing animals that can bring babies and adults so much joy. The Rose Bowl Riders is a non-profit, community-based equestrian center operated on a volunteer basis that connects people to horses and the great outdoors. With a rich mission and passionate members, you can witness firsthand all Rose Bowl Riders has to offer and consider giving back how you can—even if that’s just stopping by for a visit.

Local farmers markets

Los Angeles is a culturally diverse city, and it’s easy to connect with the locals as you explore the farmers markets. Most neighborhoods have at least one, and they’re a great way to try local foods, support local businesses, and learn about the city. Farmers markets can also be a cost-effective way to get some steps in and enjoy fresh air with your baby.

The Totebaby is an excellent go-to for stashing your stuff during a day at the farmer’s market. Made with buttery vegan leather, this luxurious tote also comes stocked with removable baby tote features like an organizer, changing pad, and divider pocket—perfectly designed to hold a Tushbaby or to separate your produce from your baby essentials and personal items.

Sporting events can offer the whole family fun, but to ensure a safe and fun day, prepare for lots of walking and crowds. You’ll want to keep your hands as free as possible and your baby as close as possible.
