icedancer43 Posted August 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi Everyone, I have tried searching these boards and have not found a recent posting about traveling around St. Marteen with a toddler. We will NOT be traveling with a carseat. We previously visited Mullet Bay (before having a child) via the bus and loved it so we would like to take our toddler with us this time. Will we be able to ride the bus or catch a taxi without a carseat? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulciana8 Posted August 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2018 We were in St Maarten in late February with our recently turned four year old. No car seat. We took a taxi to Mullet Bay. Just held him tightly, lol. No seatbelts in either the taxi to or from the ship... This was our son’s third cruise, and we’ve never taken a car seat. We’ve always just held tightly and said a little prayer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It will be fine. Those of us in our 50's and above never had "car seats" or even, seat belts. Yet, here we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really necessary :rolleyes:...I'm sure the OP is an experienced "Parent" and just merely wanted to know how other's have managed this without getting a lecture or sarcastic remarks to those offering advice.

Well, even "experienced" parents have children who will be hurt or worse in an accident. I will continue to feel free to offer up the scientific fact that the laws of physics aren't suspended while on vacation, and that a child is not safe if a parent fails to place them in an appropriate restraint. I don't need your silly lecture. If you don't like my response, don't read it. If you think CB gives great advice ("I'm over 50 and I wasn't killed"), I don't know what to say to you.
