Great Post!!!
It is indeed a lot of information for the travellers with kids. I think this should be one of those informative bunch along with "beach" India Confusion.

Wow, I read your trip details and this and am happy to be taking my nearly 4 and nearly 7 year old on a trip to visit family in India. We will be in Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Kerala and with local family the majority of the time. But the amount of pizza and fries you found is reassuring. My kids like certain things the in-laws eat but sometimes the old familiar stuff really helps on a trip and I like the play time you all always found. Hopefully our trip will go as smoothing in December. We still need to finish up with the shots and no one here in the us has mentioned polio, have to work on this, did your kids get this?
Anyhow thanks for showing it can be done enjoyably as my father in law is not the most reassuring.

Polio is standard for infants in the Netehrlands, so yes they did get this one.

Have Fun,

Hans

Indian diapers do very well for our babies' bottoms, esp Pampers

If you do not wish to lug diapers all the way, resta assured that big medical stores/general stores in most metros (Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai) stock not just Indian-made Pampers, Huggies, etc but also foreign ones.

Yes, Pampers brand diapers are fine, but not widely available. IMFD (fake just like the IMFL) are not very good (and that's an understatement).

Have fun,

Hans

Hans, This is just fantastic!! What lucky children and what an incredible experience for your family. Your photos are amazing....the photo at the Taj is wonderful.....

The pinching is a difficult one isn't it? Fortunately our daughter is a HUGE extrovert and thrived on the attention!

I still remember her vividly at 2 1/2 years, entertaining a huge crowd on Chowpatty Beach. It was hysterical...and allowed us to feast on our pani puri in peace!! (Just kidding!)

Thanks again for such a wonderful resource. I might be back to ask you about your accommodation!
