I can't remember the cost, but if you pay a deposit then you are allowed to remove them from the parks. It's not always that helpful unless you're staying on site though, as the pushchairs do not fold up so they'd be quite hard to get onto the shuttle buses or trains.

As far as I remember stroller hire was €7.50 per day. If you park hop or your stroller goes missing you take your receipt to the desk and get another stroller without paying again.
If you want to take the stroller out of the park in addition to the daily charge you pay a returnable deposit of €150.

Hiya, this might be a daft question, but why doesn't your sister take her own stroller with her for her 3 year old? I have a light weight Maclaren buggy and I take that for my middle DD.

I have to say if you are going to rely on a buggy it would be best to take your own. I have only used them when the kids walked most of the time but got tired later in the day.

The strollers from the park are very basic and made from metal - they are practical but not comfy. the child has to sit upright as they do not recline.

To spend 7.50 euros a day you could pick up a cheap foldaway from Argos etc

thanks 4 all ur help.
we come from malta so bit of a long way and the buggy that she has is a 3 wheeler which is too heavy and not worth the hassle carrying at airport etc cause he will probably will not stay in the buggy anyway.
will hire one from there when we arrive

When I hired mine, whatever the euro was at the time worked out to about £5 a day, which wasnt bad, but it was a really uncomfortable buggy and no use if it rained either, and as I said in another post just now, mine actually got taken by someone else even though it had my name on it

If you have a Dream Annual pass you can hire buggies for free.

I have to say, I'd never hire one of the buggies there, just don't like them. We also have a heavy-ish buggy and we always take it with us. Maybe it's better to borrow one from a friend or even buy a cheap light one.

Just my opinion...
