So I just want some opinions really this is my first baby and first time going to a parade (if arsenal win). Do you think it’s suitable to take a 18 month old with it being very busy? I’ve seen how parades look online but is it different in person? I just don’t want to regret taking my toddler 😭

I personally wouldn't but my sister went to one with her kid when he was 2 and they were fine. I don't think I'd do it with my toddler because I'm not a football fan and they can be very loud and busy. Lots of shouting and some drunk people I'd also be worried about violence from fans of the losing team. I'm a very anxious person, I know it's unlikely anything bad would happen but I'd be too stressed to enjoy the moment.

We took my son to the parade in Newcastle last year when we won the Carabao cup. It was just before he turned 2 so a bit older than your little one but there were loads of people there with prams or little ones on shoulders. I’m guessing a parade in London would be a lot busier but when the route gets announced just have a look and pick somewhere you can get away from easily if it gets a bit too much for them.
