Hi Carlene,
My youngest daughter first rode the Safari at 3 months old in my
arms. The ride is in open-air safari type vehicle as you can see in this photo:
HERE. It
can
be a bit bumpy at times, as you are riding on a dirt road. To me, that
is half the fun as it makes it very authentic. There are even a few
spots that intentionally jostle you around (I won't spoil it for you).
They recommend that adults sit on the outside edges of the bench seats,
with children towards the middle. When holding an infant, you'll want to sit towards the middle of one of the rows.
There is stroller parking available. In fact, you can leave your baby in the stroller through a lot of the line. Part way in, there is a "no strollers beyond this point" area and there are Cast Members who will park your stroller for you. Once exiting the ride, you'll see the parking area and you can retrieve his stroller at that point.
No two Safari rides are ever the same, and you will likely see different
animals if you go in the morning versus the afternoon. It is hard to
describe the look of wonder in a child's eyes when she first sees a REAL
giraffe crazing in the fields, or the excitement when she spots a big
elephant "like Dumbo". If I were you, I'd ride it twice...starting and
ending the day on this captivating ride.
Have a Magical vacation,
Kaylene
