I'm not you, nor am I a mom of a toddler. So please take what I say with a few pounds of salt.They are worried that he will kidnapped, or that we will be at risk of attack. Any suggestions as to how to ease their fears? Do you think I should be concerned about this safety aspect? I expect to be fully "on guard" in the bigger cities of Barcelona and Madrid, but how safe is the Frances Route itself? Would you be worried?
I agree about traveling with a child although I saw a couple with a tiny baby which I think is not good for the child. I guess they took turns. As for safety I went alone on the Norte and Frances and to Finisterre and never felt unsafeWelcome Tiffany!

I would say you're in for a big challenge - the Camino's plenty hard, even alone or with another independent adult. And with a little kid you're multiplying that challenge by I don't know how much.
But as far as danger from the kind of crime your family is concerned about? This would be the least of my worries. The Camino is the real world, not Disneyland - but it is likely more safe than many places at home.
I would say check out the other threads here on the Forum about people's experiences walking with a toddler, and print out what they say to show your family that it has been and can be done.
Buen Camino, you two!
