LOL

Soft sided, hard sided, or car...don't kid yourself because that bear can easily get into any of them very easily.

This thread made me smile. I think listen to the advice, you don't want to take any risks. Or maybe try somewhere a little less bear friendly while your baby is so young :)

Remember though, you don't have to be able to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun your wife. ??

thanks for above suggest,
a 1975 apache hard side and a 1995 eagle jayco soft side,which one is better?
hard side will be safer?

I would call the park headquarters and ask their opinion. maybe you could sleep in the car or truck with the baby and the formula. ??

I'd do hotel.....all you need is for the baby to make a stinky poop or upchuck and you may be in trouble. :)

It'snot often I actually LOL but that did it.

I wouldn't sleep in anything resembling a tent at Yellowstone ever again.
We had a bear going through our stuff in the middle of the night looking for food just ten feet from our tent as we peered through the flap.
I'd never risk it again with my wife or family in tow.

Not to be rude but maybe you should find a bear box big enough for you and the baby!! DW and I have been in a pop-up when the bear comes to visit. Not something I would like to repeat. BTW, we sold the pop-up two weeks later and bought our first hard side. Still not bear proof but the false sense of security is worth it's weight in gold!
