If you live in or visit Greater Seattle and have a child under three-years-old, you need Bringing Out Baby. This book will help you find the perfect place to take your baby, toddler or tot. Indoor and outdoor playgrounds, music, dance and art classes, gymnastics and more all geared for children under three-years-old are described within the pages of this book. As well as places to take your newborn such as post-partum exercise classes, support groups and infant massage. Then to make your choice easier, the places are detailed as to how they cater to babies' specific needs such as stroller accessibility and nursing privacy. Even restaurants that are amicable to babies are included. In addition to the wide variety of locations individually described, there are lists of public libraries with storytime, pools with tot-swim, cooperative preschools and more. Julia Detering, a mother herself, used her own baby to test locations and determine their attractiveness to youngsters.
The book is designed to help mothers, fathers and all caregivers find places to go and things to do appropriate for their needs and the needs of their small children. It includes Seattle, Shoreline, Redmond, Issaquah, Bellevue, Renton and Kirkland. No other guidebook on the market covers such a wide range of places to take babies, toddlers and tots. Although this book is geared toward children under three-years-old, the information on public libraries, swimming pools, playgrounds, beaches, shopping malls, restaurants and community centers is useful as an over-all reference guide to recreation with children in the Seattle area.
