📋 The Bottom Line
Jaipur offers some of India's most stunning Rajasthani architecture in forts and palaces. However, these are medieval structures with steps, crowds, and limited accessibility. The bazaars are incredibly crowded and narrow. Indian culture's love for children means constant help and smiles, but infrastructure requires maximum flexibility and carrier-only approaches.
