Family Itinerary critique & advice welcome. May 2018.
Hi everyone, we will be a family of 9 ( 5 adults and 4 kids (12,9,8,7) going on a +/- 2 week trip to Italy in May 2018. It will be the first time for our kids but the adults have been at least twice. We'd like to see all the major cities/sites, but would like to limit our hotel transfers for logistics purposes. May i also ask for transportation suggestions as well as hotel options for families in the below places? Between cities, i understand the train system is good. Having luggage + kids to watch though, how is it security-wise? Will we have to worry about theft on board the trains? Would appreciate a critique of our itinerary as below and if ti's possible to use these three cities as a base to explore more through day trips and the like. We can do mini-tours and would also welcome private guide references that can tailor-fit the experience for the kids as they thoroughly enjoyed the Louvre and Versailles this way.

From Florence we would like to visit Pisa, and the outlets. From Rome perhaps Pompeii and/ or the coast if possible. Thank you all!
