[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if you are walking distance to most things you don't need it, and especially in COVID with nowhere to go. We literally only drive to the doctor's office right now because we aren't walking distance, but otherwise our baby is never in the car (and he's now 6 months). However, if you're planning on public transit/cabs/uber to get to things like the doctor or daycare, I'd be iffy during COVID. You could always do a long-term rental through Enterprise or Hertz or whatever for the first month and see how much you actually use it (you will have the most doctor's appointments then and be healing yourself and far less likely to want to walk more than a short distance) before making a longer term decision that will be way more expensive than a monthly car rental rate. This way you can test out parking near your house/apt (is it a huge pain?), whether you'll actually prefer to drive many places, etc without a big monetary investment.

For what it's worth, I much prefer to baby wear than the travel system we bought and we switched our infant seat out for the convertible by 5 months because he was squished and uncomfortable. So if walking distance to most places, and you like baby wearing, you really don't need a car.[/quote]
