> So . . . how do you suppose wizards with young children travel? 


Thren:

Well, since George can travel via Floo with Harry's trunk (GOF), I'd
think you'd be able to Floo with a baby or small child in arms (so
long as you kept them close to you, arms in and all that- wonder if
the WW still uses swadling clothes? :P), or with an older child if you
held them tight.

It'd be handy if they were able to use some sort of Charm to stick a
child to a parent's broomstick, to travel without being afraid of them
falling off. My favourite idea is to have some kind of a sling or
harness for babies hanging from the broom, the way they have them for
carrying trunks (or Norbert ;) ). All of these things depend on having
small families, though. Carrying children on or by broomstick only
works if you're not outnumbered by much. Maybe that's why families run
small- it's a hassle to go anywhere if you've got more than one or two
children.
