From someone from abroad, they are located at the same place: Paris. But one is at the north east of Paris (Cité des sciences) whereas the other is near the Champs-Élysées (Palais de la découverte).
I have visited both and I am fond of the Palais de la découverte. I feel there is much more humanity in the way science is displayed. This lies perhaps in how ...

Indeed at first it sounds like they are the same, but they are actually more complementary.
Checking the website, we can learn (it's in French though) that the Palais de la Découverte is more the science museum, kids-oriented with experiments to figure basic physics phenomena, so it is probably what you are looking for.
On the other hand, La Cité des ...

When your child is still a baby, you can still travel like you traveled before. Babies sleep in the most awkward positions.
When the children hit the toddler phase, traveling gets complicated where the afternoon nap can complicate things. If your child still regularly takes a nap, doing a continuous road trip gets complicated if not impossible.

From my personal experience, you should expect to spend 50% more time doing the same trip as you would without your daughter (e.g. 6 weeks instead of 4). Also I would advise to always plan a few days ahead - finding accommodation after dark probably used to be minor annoyance before, but it can easily be a nightmare for both parents and the child now.

Here are a buch of good ideas I pulled from this blog post on the same topic:
Cafe du Monde

Steamboat Natchez (Big +1 to this, one of my favorites!)
Audubon Zoo & Park, or the Aquarium
The WWII Museum
Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World (Bonus, you get to take a Ferry to the west bank.)
Swamp Tours! (Outside of the city.)
There ...

Personally I prefer United to American though American is now trying to get more competitive while trying to merge. Now here for some pros and cons:
Infant Friendliness
This has been discussed on the forum ad nauseam so I won't repeat this but just refer you to the question asked previously on this forum: Which are the best airlines for travelling with ...

In a nutshell, travel in Thailand is super-easy. Basically, in any place of interest to travellers, you will find both all the facilities you need and people who speak enough English to guide you to them. Outside the absolute peak of high season (basically Christmas/NY), you can always find a place to stay, and booking hotels online is very easy: ...

Yes. It's possible, and safe (in terms of "Safety") but not always easy.
The only challenge that you normally will have is that places are too busy. Since you are traveling in the high season with a larger group (2 people fit in almost anywhere anytime, a table for 8 will not always be getting a table).
While summer is less of a risk than Chinese New Year ...

I was quite impressed with the Tokyu Stay chain recently. Full review of their Nihonbashi hotel here, but quoting the pertinent bit:
As for the rooms themselves, they're mini-apartments: all but the very
smallest come with a kitchenette, full-sized fridge and a
washer-dryer. The twin room we stayed in is 30 m2, spacious for Tokyo,
with two beds ...

I would also check Airbnb, as there a lot of place listed for a variety of budgets
https://www.airbnb.com/s/Japan
I travel on various budgets around Asia with my family and we regularly use Airbnb (or Flipkey as well, but Airbnb has been better with budget places) to book an apartment for ourselves.
My days of sleeping in capsule hotels are far in the past ...
