Re: Best stroller for the parks?
Sounds like an ad to me. btw..doubles would be fine if they weren't using Disney transportation. I saw some poor family trying to get on the bus w/ a double and it just was not easy at all, The poor woman had to wrangle the baby, toddler, loot and diaper bag while her dh loaded up the stroller. They can weigh up to 30lbs or more. I couldn't see doing that for a week or even 2 days. eek

Re: Best stroller for the parks?
You should get a stroller that has pillows on the front. So if you ram someone - it won't hurt so much.

Re: Best stroller for the parks?
Ok, so four trips later I have tried every stroller option I could think of! I used our Joovy Tandem , which I hate by the way, everyone seems to love this stroller but I always found it hard to push and my kids were 3 and 4 year old skinny little girls! Definately would not recommend this one!
Second trip we took a friend of ours' double jogger, I loved it! It manuvered very easily and the girls were extreamly comfortable in it! BUT... it was way too big to go in and out of the stores and I love to shop around and it was just a hassle! Then we decided to rent the strollers from Disney and they were the most conveinent, they are easy for teh kids to get in and out of and push very easily (So easily we could do it with one hand!) but they were the most uncomfortable! My girls love them though. So just bring a cushy blanket to pad it and you should be all set! Last time I brought my friends double McClaren and it was wonderful! Easy to push, very comfortable for our son (8 months at the time) and my younger daughter (4). My oldest got sick so we ended up renting a single stroller from Disney anyways (don't worry, I made sure to wipe it down with Lysol wipes when I picked it up and when I returned it). If this is not something you are planning to use frequently, I would say either rent from Disney OR buy a Mcclaren on Craigslist!

Re: Best stroller for the parks?
This would be good for the younger pair, but I'm a big fan of the sit and stand stroller. When we go back in August, dd will be old enough for that, and we're buying one to take with us. Last trip we used an umbrella for ds and the snap and go frame stroller for dd's carseat, because she was still so young. It was a pain to push 2 strollers around. I don't want to do a double because of the width and bulk, and I really like the Sit and Stand kind because if ds wants to walk he can, and it's more narrow.
