I love my Pliko. It was just a bit harder to carry on the bus than my MacLaren but so worth it. One great thing about the Pliko is that it stands when folded-so in some respects that made it easier than the Mac on the bus. On our last trip my kids were 6 1/2, nearly 5, and nearly 3. I had both the Mac and the Pliko. I had an extra day on last years multi year rental so I got a double stroller at Epcot 1 day but we used the 2 strollers for the rest of the trip. All 3 kids took turns in the seat of the Pliko and 2 older ones took turns on the back.
Are you flying? I did purchase the transport bag as I had read on this site about someone's Pliko that got damage on the plane. I didn't have the rain cover but now I'm planning an August trip when it rains daily so I'll probably get the rain cover for that trip. I went in August with just 1 child and did have the rain cover on the Mac and that was really great.
