To wonder if 5 month old will be ok high up in a skyscraper?

I don't know if this is really silly, but will a 5 month old baby be ok on one of the highest floors of a skyscraper eg. in Dubai? I'm thinking things like altitude and vertigo and ears popping in the elevator.

DH and I really want to go somewhere really plastic-fantastic-luxurious to relax and veg out (as much as is possible with a 5 month old) for our first trip away as a trio and so we settled on a fancy place in Dubai.. but will our little baby be ok on a penthouse level!?

TIA! x

YANBU - are you mad, the top floor is no place for a baby!

Oh darling! I love this! Almost as good as the poster from years ago who squirted baby shampoo in her eyes to make sure it didn't hurt!

Have a wonderful break.

Tell the truth, you’re (not so stealth) boasting about being at “penthouse level”. 😂

I’m sure you will all have a great time 😊

I wasn't. It's actually a really good deal that we're both super chuffed about. We're putting together all our BA points etc. and it works out something like £400 each!

Baby will be fine.

Flew several times with DDs when they were babies 39,000 feet in the air. All good.

Enjoy your holiday.
