My family of four (me, wife, daughter 1 - age 2, daughter 2 - age 1) are planning a trip to India, and want to stop in Zurich on the way there. I have a few logistical questions that may be specific to my situation, and some general questions where I am looking for general guidance. Any help is greatly appreciated!
1. We will have a lot of luggage, 2 car seats, 5-6 large bags, 2-4 cabin bags, 2 strollers. I would not want to carry these around in Switzerland while I travel. I have read that it is possible to leave luggage at the airport in Zurich for a fee. However, I have not been able to find out if there are any limits on the amount of luggage we can deposit at the airport.
2. It is my hope that 4 days (5 nights) are going to give us a substantial amount of time to experience the "culture" of Switzerland. Any itinerary recommendations are very welcome. At this point, we are thinking to spend:
Day 1 - Zurich local sites
Day 2 - Lucerne via train
Day 3 - Interlaken via train
Day 4 - Mount Titlis via train
Given the short duration of time and the two young ones, would there be better/different places that would be recommended?
3. This may be a little gross to ask on a public forum, but, do most forms of long distance public transport - boat, train etc. - have diaper changing stations on board?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Is your intention to stay in only one place and do day trips? I think that would be best with young children. Switzerland is small with excellent transport, making this a feasible option.
For luggage, have you checked the airport and train websites. I know that SBB has a contact email address if nothing can be found on their website. I'd be surprised if there was a limit. Are you going for an extended stay in India? That's one heck of a lot of luggage!
I've never seen nappy change tables on trains in Europe but neither have I looked for them. I would consider taking a baby backpack instead of at least one stroller.
