We're going to be in Taiwan for 7 weeks this winter. Home base will be around New Taipei City and Taoyuan City, in the Linkou district close to the Mitsui outlet. I think there is a Metro stop near there, and there are also shuttles to get us around.

We have two boys, one who just turned 6 and one who will be 4 in October. I'm trying to decide if I should bring along our stroller for the trip for our little one. The boys are pretty good about not wandering off, but we'd be able to move a little faster with the little one on wheels, and I'm sure it would help to have him contained when in crowds.

However, I'm not sure what elevator service is like in the Taipei Metro, or if the streets are very compatible with strollers.

We'll be spending time with grandparents, exploring all the sites in Taipei, and we'll probably take some trips to more scenic areas, like the southern coast. The boys would probably really like the high speed rail! We'll be in an apartment, so we'll have room to store it.

Any insight in this fabulous group? I know a lot depends on everyone's style and preferences and those of everyone's kids. But any and all experience and thoughts would still be appreciated!
