ages 5 4 and almost 2 - stroller/wagon

[tracisup]

Hi, When we travel the girls will have just turned 5 and 4 and the baby will be almost 2. We have a single stroller and a double stroller. The girls are really too big for their double stroller now and will only be bigger in 10 months when we go.

Have any of you used a wagon in WDW? If so, please list pros/cons

Do any of you have any other suggestions for children of these ages?

TIA! Traci

I think that cons with a wagon would be comfort level for your 4 and 5 yo and trying to get through crowds.

Have you considered renting from an outside company? Orlando Stroller Rental seems to get great reviews. My friend rented the double for her 5 and 3 yo, and she said that it was great. This allows you to have a stroller outside the parks, too (vs. renting from Disney).

Have a great trip!

I may be wrong but I think I read somewhere that WDW didn't allow wagons. Maybe someone else knows for sure. We used a dble stroller last year for our 6 & 3 yr old. My 6 yr old is on the small size & it was just too much for him to walk the whole thing.

Wagons are not allowed in the parks. If you show up with a wagon, it will not be allowed thru.

Anything that you pull (such as a cooler with wheels) is not allowed thru the gates.

the double from orlandostrollerrentals has a 100 lb total weight limit, so if your kiddos are under that, you'd be fine. Our kids were between 96-98 lbs together our last trip, and their stroller worked great.

I would just have strollers for all 3. Bring a single stroller for the baby and rent one of these double strollers from Orlando Stroller Rentals for the older 2: http://www.orlandostrollerrentals.com/orlando-stroller-rentals-double-stroller.html It has a combined recommended max weight of 100lbs, which would accommodate the average sized 5 and 4 year old.

I can tell you from experience that wagons are not allowed into the park. They will not let you bring anything that you pull into the park.

I'd get a double stroller and bring your stroller for the little one unless you have a double stroller yourself and then rent a single stroller. It's a long day and your older ones will get tired. My girls are 7 and 10 and they're going to want a stroller after a long hot day in August.

I HAVE a double stroller AND a single one alleady but the girls are just a bit big for them now and I know in another 10 months they will only be better. They weigh 32 and 34 lbs now. They are not too heavy for it but it looks a little awkward for their legs sometimes.

The wagon i saw can be pushed as well as pulled and has seats for 2 toddlers. I guess if thats not allowed then my decision is made. Thanks all!

A wagon of any kind is not allowed, even if you can push it instead of pull.If it looks like a wagon ,they don't let you past the gates

 

[CLR4321]

The general rule is it must be able to be pushed instead of pulled and it must have brakes on the wheels (like strollers have).

Spoken from a mother with experience - when my kids are tired they'd rather have a tight squeeze in the stroller than walk.

Take the strollers!! ours were almost 1, 4 and 6 last time I think all of them were in the stroller at one point or another sleeping (double side by side rented from BBF for around $75 for 8 days) of course usually it was the younger 2 but the oldest had some tired legs at times too and you can't beat rolling up to the edge of the sidewalk with the stroller for parade viewing

Thanks! I think I know for sure to bring the strollers.
