Hi all
I have a dilemma over strollers for our next trip (June 2003) and I was hoping you guys could tll me what you think.
I have 2 DS's, who at time of travel will be 3 years 11 months and
4 years 10 months.
We have previosly been to WDW with them at age 1 and almost 2 and again this year when they were 2 1/2 and 3 1/2.
When we went in February this year we did noit use our own strollers while in the park, but rented a double stroller every day we were at the parks.
We are currently trying to decide what will be the best for next year and I have drawn up a list of things to consider.
Firstly it will be end of June and beginning of July, so parks will be extremely busy, so there is no guarantee of a stroller (esp a double one) being available when we arrive in any park.
Secondly they are expensive at $15 per day for say maybe up to 12 days in parks (including Universal etc), so that works out at $180.
Thirdly I thought about having to carry them from the parks to the car if they are asleep when leaving the park, and in some cases this might be a long way ie MK or US, we may also be carrying bags etc. However it would mean we could jump on the trams in the parking lots without having to worry about folding strollers.
Another consideration is the fact we don't actually own a double stroller, our DS's are very rarely in a stroller at home, but I know we'll definitely need on for the parks. So we would have to buy one. (but it would cost $180 to rent anyway...so I wouldn't mind)
Lastly, is there a double stroller which would accomodate a 4 and almost 5 year old.....maybe 45 lbs each.
What do you think would be the best option.........anyone had experience of children of similar age with strollers??
All info much appreceiated.
