[quote=Anonymous]People way Rome isn't for kids, but I think it is a wonderful place for them!  You just have to pace yourself a bit and carve out downtime.

There are playgrounds in Rome- nothing fancy or elaborate, but they do the job.  We went when DS was ~10months old & had started walking.  At that time, we brought a bugaboo stroller.  Way too big for little restaurants, but it handled cobblestones fine and was great for long walks.  The Sistine chapel handled it like a wheelchair - you get to basically skip the line and enter from the back end - unexpected & so nice!

Went back again last year, when DS was 8 and had a blast.  This time around, no stroller, of course.  But also way more relaxed rules - he got to drive segways, 4-seater bicycle contraptions, and even drive a golf cart - heaven!  Plus, checking out the colosseum, dressing up to learn how to fight like a gladiator, and pick-up games of tag and soccer here and there in the piazzas and parks.  People are friendly, even if you don't speak much Italian.  One group of kids even pulled out an iPhone to try & translate Italian-English for my son![/quote]
