πΌPram
Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and the Embarcadero waterfront all have smooth, wide paths that work well for strollers. Mild, dry weather year-round means you rarely have to plan around rain, which is a rarity for a big US city.
π½οΈFood & Eating
San Diego's beach-town food culture makes eating out with toddlers easy, from fish taco stands to casual patio restaurants in Little Italy and Coronado. High chairs and kids' menus are standard almost everywhere.
π‘οΈSafety
Consistently one of the safer large US cities, especially in the tourist-heavy areas around the harbor, Balboa Park, and the beaches. Tap water is safe to drink.
π₯Hospitals
Rady Children's Hospital is a nationally ranked paediatric facility and the main children's hospital for the region. Urgent care clinics are common near hotel districts for minor issues.
