Hi Kayla!!
As far as I know most places can accomodate a 6mos old in NF as it is pretty tourist driven and therefore accomodating. NOTL - I like the Charles Inn and PUb which is at the end of the main drag in NOTL on the right hand side if you are heading east...It used to be the Kiely Inn and has great food a patio that in cooler weather is closed windows and warm - ahhhh open. There is also the Queenston Heights Restaurant...is very beautiful view and nice food - with spacey seating so a stroller or such would fit... If you head out of NOTL toward Vineland - 15minutes on the highway - spectacular view and food at the Vineland Estate Winery with a beautiful patio overlooking rolling vineyard to Lake Ontario - plenty of room for a stroller at each table.
Have a ball

Kayla - Grab a Niagara Wine Route map when you get into town. It will show you the way to the most scenic wineries with restaurants... also consider Hildebrand, East Dell, Peller, Strewn,as well as Vineland... in the village of NOTL, consider Queens Landing which is on the Marina. For English Pub food try the Angel Inn... have fun!

Hm... There are so many options. 
Now I have to think about where to stop by first. Is NOTL 30' drive fr. Niagar Falls?
I'm thinking out loud (LOL)... should we stop by NOTL for lunch then cruise into NF later to check in the hotel, stroll along the Falls, take the Maid of the Mist (leaving the baby w/ grandma & grandpa
)before settling down for dinner instead of driving to NOTL fr. NF?
Thanks,
K.

K - To reach NOTL you will have to pass through Niagara Falls, either directly by crossing the Rainbow Bridge, or on the QEW highway if crossing at Buffalo... In my opinion, I would go directly to NOTL for lunch, spend a short time in the village, and then backtrack to the Falls. After crossing the bridge, follow the QEW signs a short distance and exit at highway 55 to NOTL... this will take you right to Hildebrand winery. If you want great food overlooking the vineyards, as well as a half-hour winery tour, choose Hildebrand which also offers tasting and a wine store. Then continue along rt 55 into the village for a stroll through the shops... once that is done be sure to take the Niagara Parkway back to the Falls. The parkway runs along the Niagara gorge and is a scenic 20 minute drive lined with vineyards, wineries, fruit stands and overlook points. Once back at the falls, check-in, get the baby settled and do the Maid, the gawking and maybe even the falls casinos... keep in mind that there are very few "good" restaurants in the falls area, so you may end up back in NOTL for dinner... have fun
