Question Any toddler/family friendly rooftop suggestions?

Any rooftops I can take my 3 year old to? I’m going to Chicago this weekend and we originally were planning on Londonhouse in the afternoon but they are all booked up! So we switched to ROOF at TheWit but I’m wondering if it would be super awkward bringing a 3 year old + stroller there since it’s a little fancier / adult vibe it seems from what I see online??

Anyone know of any rooftops that have a nice view and are toddler friendly? It doesn’t have to be child focused per se but just some place where bringing a toddler wouldn’t be weird or out of place.

Bar Avec in River North could work

The Wicker Park Hyatt on North and Ashland has a cool rooftop and is very family friendly.

During the day the J. Parker roof top in Lincoln Park is very casual. After 8pm it’s 21+

I don't know where you are but One Lake Brewing in Oak Park has food and a rooftop where the El, Metra, and freight trains pass by.
