πΌPram
The beachfront promenade along A1A is flat, wide, and stroller-friendly for miles, and Las Olas Boulevard is similarly easy walking with plenty of shaded stops. Water taxis are a fun, low-effort way to see the canals with a toddler in tow.
π½οΈFood & Eating
Beachside cafes and restaurants along Las Olas are relaxed about kids, and there's a strong casual seafood and Latin food scene. Tap water is safe to drink.
π‘οΈSafety
Fort Lauderdale's main beach and Las Olas tourist areas are safe and well maintained. Hurricane season (June to November) is worth checking before booking, and summer humidity is intense, so plan around midday heat.
π₯Hospitals
Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in nearby Hollywood, FL is a dedicated paediatric facility, and Broward Health has paediatric emergency services in Fort Lauderdale itself.
