Traveling to Aruba with 9 month old

Can't wait... we're going to Aruba next month and Mason will JUST be about 9 mons.
We've been there a few times b4 b/c we have a timeshare. Just need some help in what to bring for him since I was preggo last year.
We do have a full kitchen at the place.

Figured... diapers, babyfood, umbrella stroller, float for pool, lots of sunscreen, I'm guessing 9 to 12 mons size clothes since he's in 6 to 9 now...

what do you do about a car seat?

Thanks!

1st of all you stink!
Im so freaking jeolous!
My parents have timeshare there too and we missed the trip this past year cause dd was 1 week old

ok now that I got that out...unless your planning on renting a car/jeep I wouldn't bother with the car seat...although I dont know what the rules/law are there...figure the ride to/from airport
I also know there is a supermarket there that we took a cab to if you forget anything or dont feel like packing everything

I dont think I helped...have a great time!

LOL! Thanks... you'll have to go next year. Is yours as the Marriot?
No, not renting a car. We've done it b4 and traveled the island. Not planning to this year since we've seen it. I know everything is walking distance anyway. Only time we'll be in the car is to and from the airport. My parents will drop us off and pick us up in NY

You def don't need a car seat. We took DD on a cruise to the caribben at 7 months and didn't bring her carseat. If we did go in a cab, DH held her in the Bjorn carrier. I def recommend bringing some sort of a carrier that you can strap him to yourself with - in case you'd rather not bring the stroller.

I also recommend disposable bibs and wash cloths. And you can also bring an inflatable tub to bathe him in.
