Your Guide for Things To Do in New Orleans With a Baby

Craving some good ole southern eats and New Orleans entertainment? Book that trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, and experience the electric city of New Orleans with your baby. New Orleans might be known for Mardi Gras and nightlife, but the city has so much more to offer. New Orleans has a variety of attractions for visitors, from the French Market to ghost tours to Move With The River.

Fun Things To Do With a Baby in New Orleans

Read on to discover family-friendly things to do with a baby in New Orleans and how Tushbaby can support every occasion.

French Market

The French Market is a delightful place to take in New Orleans culture. Since 1971, the French Market has continued its reputation of the spirit of commerce, culture, and community, remaining an irresistible landmark for visitors. From local eats to shopping and souvenirs, you can certainly explore this farmer's market-type venue with your baby. When you babywear with Tushbaby, your baby can enjoy being carried face-to-face, forward-facing, and side-facing with an unobstructed view of their surroundings—meaning they’ll be happier longer, and you can carry them longer and more comfortably. Simply wrap your Tushbaby high and tight above your waist and place your baby on the plush hip seat as you support them.

Tushbaby features five storage pockets for personal items and baby essentials like diapers, wipes, lotion, snacks, and a bottle, so you can leave your diaper bag at home and keep your hands free for your French Market goodies and entertaining your little one. If you’re traveling with a partner or family, Tushbaby’s waistband is easy to adjust between caregivers and fits up to 44-inch waists; if needed, you can use our Waistband Extender for an additional 23 inches in length.

Take a carriage ride

The clopping of hooves on the pavement is one of the many sounds of the city. Book your family a carriage ride and enjoy a magical ride through the city. Tushbaby can be worn while standing or seated so you can babywear to the carriage, and once onboard, position your child in the forward-facing carry position to give them a supported perch—with added back and posture support for you. If you need additional storage or decide to do this adventure without baby, load up The Pack, our stylish belt bag that can be worn around the waist or crossbody to elevate your casualwear or simply keep your essentials close.

Move With The River

On the second floor of the Louisiana Children’s Museum is the Move With The River exhibit. Designed for kids of all ages, this interactive water gallery teaches visitors about the Mississippi River in a hands-on way. Kids can construct their own river, use trial and error to build dams, and even play a game of “License Plate BINGO” that’s hidden throughout the experience.

The Tushbaby carrier is designed for children 0-3 years old (or up to 45lbs), so it’s the perfect carrier to bring to Move With The River. The open-style design allows you to easily pick them up and put them down, and when those little legs are on the move and your Tushbaby’s not in use, you can fold and tote it with one of our stylish Crossbody Straps. These sleek little numbers clip onto the Tushbaby’s D-rings to keep everything close with a polished twist, and allow for quick transitions back to babywearing—because we know much of your life consists of picking your baby up and putting them down.

For added efficiency, Keep important items like credit cards, lipstick, earbuds, or your baby’s beloved pacifier in The Pod. This chic clip-on pouch can attach to your Tushbaby, Pack, backpack, purse, you name it!

New Orleans Zoo

If your baby loves animals, the New Orleans Zoo is a top family attraction. With a historic setting and inspiring animals, there’s no shortage of memories to be made at the zoo. Prepare for a long day with lots of walking, and bring along essential products like the Tushbaby, our foldable Changing Pad, Totebaby, and The Snug to make it a breeze.

Tushbaby’s four carry positions offer comfortable and supported babywearing so you can bond, play, and engage with your little one at the zoo. Need to feed? Lay your baby across the plush seat in the feeding position for breast or bottle-feeding support—you can keep a bottle in the bottle holder on the waistband and even a nursing cover in one of the roomy pockets.

For hands-free babywearing with babies 12-45lbs, pair your Tushbaby with The Snug! The Snug is an attachment wrap that buckles to the base of your Tushbaby, wraps over the shoulders to form an X across your back, and buckles on the sides to keep your baby close. You get all the benefits of hands-free babywearing with baby facing in or out, and the storage and support of our hipseat. When not in use, The Snug can be folded and stored in the under-seat pocket of your Tushbaby.

Bring it all together with our vegan leather Totebaby when you’re hitting multiple attractions or plan to be on the move for most of the day. This sleek tote can double as your diaper bag, yoga bag, or even a sustainable shopping and grocery bag, and comes with removable features like an organizer, vegan leather fold-up Changing Pad, and divider pocket—perfectly designed to store your Tushbaby or separate and organize your other must-haves for the day.

As you’ve seen, the convenience of Tushbaby goes far beyond just our hip carrier: from The Snug and our Crossbody Straps to The Pod and our foldable vegan leather Changing Pad, our products are designed to deliver functionality, convenience, and comfort for parents and caregivers. Our versatile carrier and accessories come in a range of colors and fabrics, allowing parents and caregivers to accentuate their style and curate a complete collection of baby gear that will last from birth through toddlerhood. Say yes to that New Orleans trip you thought could never happen with your baby, because it can. Pack smart and shop Tushbaby.
