Babble Talk: La Dolce Vita con Famiglia

After getting hitched on a small island in Greece, my wife and I spent our honeymoon in Italy -- hiking through small towns and drinking wine for five straight weeks. It's a fantasy of ours to bring our daughter there someday and show her all the people we met, all the romantic villages we explored as newlyweds, all the hotel rooms where we ... well, she'll figure it out someday.

We've put it off, however, because while we might enjoy a tour of a prosciutto factory or the romance of a truffle hunt, Emmeline would probably be bored to tears and tantrums. Thanks to a handy new Tuscany travel guide from Babble, we may not have to wait as long as we thought.

From easy bike rides (I would never, ever bike on those crazy two-lane roads where people drive 90 mph, however) to fantastic public parks, the Babble guide to Tuscany offers a million things to do for families in five towns -- from Lucca to Sienna. If you're planning a trip in the near future or just want to relive a little romance with a tike in tow, check it out.

Have Stroller/Will Travel With Hip New City Tours

You don't have to own a stylish and trendy Bugaboo stroller to tour cities around the world with your kid in the new stroller-friendly Daytrips offered by Bugaboo.com. Although you might want one. After all, who can resist the Footmuff accessory (which doubles as an aid to keep your child from slouching), and the general hipness of the Bugaboo?

And what better stroller to be pushing down the steets of Milan, Paris, Prague, Sydney, and Copenhagen? Closer to home, explore your own home towns of New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco with a handy .PDF download that gives illustrated maps of each of 22 cities (with more to come) around the globe and highlights various child-friendly destinations within each city along with instructions on what to see and do at each stop.

Sounds perfect! My only question - do Bugaboo's Daytrips offer suggestions as to how to push the stroller while holding a triple venti latte?
