Best option for traveling with a baby

Hi all, I'm arriving in Tokyo Narita on a monday afternoon in late October with my wife and 8month old son. We have 3 nights before friends/family arrive to tokyo, we'll then spend 4 nights in Tokyo (staying in Ebisu) followed by a week in the alps region.

I'm just wondering what people would recommend doing with those first 3 nights considering we have an 8 month old baby? Obviously don't want to spend too long travelling but Some options i'd be interested to get thoughts on:

  • hire car at Narita and roadtrip down to Chiba area/explore, then drive across the bay and drop car at Haneda before staying in Ebisu – haven't seen anyone raving much about Chiba so not completely sold on it – any recommendations welcome!
  • spend extra nights in Tokyo staying somewhere other than Ebisu
  • make the effort as soon as we arrive to get over to Hakone/Kyoto/another option for a those 3 nights – hard to decide if it's worth the effort to travel there and back with only 3 nights

All thoughts/feedback/recommendations would be hugely appreciated!

Edited to clarify dates
