Dad tip - going to the cinema with a baby

You've recently had a baby, you've managed to get through the first few months and have got the hang of it ... now you are wondering where to find some "us" time and when your nightlife is going to return? Here's a great tip for new parents who can't or don't want to leave someone else in charge of bubs while they're out for a well needed break from the routine. Go to the drive-in cinema and take bubs with you!

Hey don't knock it till you've tried - there are some obvious advantages:

1) If your baby is crying chances are he'll fall asleep on the way to the drive-in
2) Your baby stays with you at all times - if he wakes up just go round the drive-in a couple of times
3) You can eat in the car, snuggle up, snog ... watch the film while bubs sleeps in the back seat
4) It's a change of scenery - so you're practically out (beats just getting a DVD or watching something on telly)
5) If the movie sucks just look at your baby sleeping ... what a beautiful sight!

Whichever way you look at it - it's bound to be a great night out (as long as the weather is not too bad).

Enjoy
