... comments around NOT bringing infants, etc into Q should be seriously dealt with (?) and/or does this site actually condone these types of commentary?

Yes it does. This isn't the chamber of commerce. A wide range of advice (and opinions) is condoned, welcomed and explicitly encouraged. We were suckered with a subject entitled "canoeing with young children" and asked for route advice. Take what fits and leave what offends you for someone else to ponder. They might see it differently.

We all need to keep in mind that Google will be bringing parents of all backgrounds to this thread long after we've all forgotten it. I wonder if they will also notice threads where other people ask about taking their dog mention that they practice with them on local lakes. More unnecessary, value added, food for thought.
