That's a good start but if you're old or with multiple young children it requires careful planning. I drive into the city with my family rather than trying to remember exactly which stations I won't be trapped in.
If you’re old or have young kids life already requires careful planning.
No reason to avoid adding to the scope and complexity of that planning, then?
That sounds stressful. Just an FYI for your next trip, every metro map has a little symbol indicating whether a station has an elevator.
Babybjörn or similar carrier and a backpack for accoutrements is imo often superior to a stroller once your young one can sit up.
I agree but if you have 3 under 5 one of them is bound to get tired and spontaneously turn to jello
