Stroller Help/Advice

Brendan's Mom · Jan 15, 2008

We are heading to Disney in April. My kids will be 4 years and 8 months at the time. In the past we have taken our EuroTrend umbrella (maclaren like). It has worked great, but now I have two kids!!

We still have the EuroTrend and also have a Joovy Ultralight. My 4 year old doesn't fit into many double strollers so that is why we went with the ultralight. The question is should we take the ultralight or get a second umbrella? I love the ultralight, but the seat doesn't recline much and I don't know if the 8 month old will nap in it. I am thinking about replacing the EuroTrend with a Maclaren since it has seen better days so I could just take two umbrellas. Does anyone have any idea, advice or thoughts? Thanks!!!

I took two umbrellas last I went (kids were 4 and 2)... it was so easy to have one adult push one kid, was easy to get on and off whatever little people movers we had to get on (i put baby gear in a backpack or bag that crammed into the basket, so easy to yank the bag out and fold the stroller in a jiffy!)
The ultralight might be fine, too... a 4 yo probably doesn't need to sit THAT much, and you might like only having to have one adult push one stroller (hmmm, I wish they'd invent a side by side that snapped together or apart, but pushed a lot better than those cheap 'stroller connectors' you can buy, lol)

I was just there a month ago with one kiddo and my main advice is whatever you bring should be EASY to fold! You get all your stuff packed into the stroller and go 50ft to the people mover and have to take it all out and fold the stroller to get on! Sheesh! I would say bring the Joovy, but only if the little one will sleep in it. Have fun!

I was going to be a groovy for our Disney trip in March... but i didn't think it was a good choice as my 5year old still naps almost every day, and i'm sure she will in Disney as well. So i needed a stroller that has 2 spots that recline a little. we ended up getting a twin traveller maclaren (tecno). I HAVE pushing the stroller It's always DH job so to take 2 strollers wouldn't work, also i'm not sure how we'd both be able to get a stroller folded up if one of the girls was sleeping either. But if you don't mind pushing then maybe you could take 2 strolellers, or just if you can figure out if you youngest can sleep in the joovy then take it maybe a test run at the mall all day or somthing!
