Hi I’m traveling to Italy next week and I’m wondering if anyone knows if I will be able to wear a baby backpack into the major sites? Academia, Uffizi gallery, colosseum, Vatican/St. Peter’s. I’m just trying to figure out the best way to enjoy with a 10 month baby.

Not sure- but probably not a back pack. Can you put baby on the front?

I would have thought not into museums, but someone posted on the Forum, they were able to use a baby backpack at the Vatican museums & it was fine, (probably because Italians ADORE babies!) https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/italy/baby-carrier-backpack-in-the-vatican.

I would think that a baby backpack would be quite acceptable in any museums, whether worn in the front or back. I'm sure that would be preferable to using a stroller or whatever. As a previous reply mentioned, it would be prudent to check the websites of the places you plan to visit.

Babies are very welcome all over italy. Can’t imagine you wouldn’t be able to wear your backpack.
