I have three young kids under age 5 and this book has been a life saver for those days when I've just got to get out of the house and don't know where to go. The libraries and community centers are a welcome change to Chuck E.Cheese and I look forward to visiting the child friendly restaurants.

I used to live in Seattle- We recently moved from there to South Florida, and I was very sad to see that there are no good guide books here like "Bringing out Baby".I had gotten used to carrying my copy in my diaper bag where ever I went in Seattle. I have two very young children and found the book so useful in my everyday outings.It is thorough, yet easy to read and it saved me time-I could bring my children to places knowing exactly what to expect. I wish Ms. Detering knew Fort Lauderdale as well as she knows Seattle- I miss being able to find good places quickly. I have passed my well used copy to a friend and I highly recommend it to any new parent or parent to be in the Seattle area.

This book is great for those not familiar with the area and have kids under 3. However, I didn't find the book to be as comprehensive as I thought it would be. I can name two wonderful toddler parks in Kirkland that were not even mentioned in the book. Informing the reader as to which parks have restrooms is VERY beneficial. However, if you have "Out and About Seattle with Kids," skip buying this book.

I was recently in Seattle over the holidays and came across Bringing Out Baby. The book was great for me because I knew nothing about the city and it gave me plenty of ideas for enjoying time out with my children. The book is very informative and well organized. I passed it on to my host who is 6 months pregnant. I'm sure it will be a great reference guide for her too.

As a dad who works too much, Julia makes it easy to figure out what to do with my kids. Insightful accurate and fun, I open the book, pick a page and we go. A great resource
