Best Stroller for Parks?

[a_sailor's_wife]

I'm looking for DS a new stroller. His is two years old and something has happened to where it's gotten a lot harder to push even when he's not in it. DS is 2 so I need something of a lightweight durable stroller to take to the parks. We'd like to have one that has a cupholder for him (possibly one for us as well at the top) and at least a net bag area at the bottom. Any suggestions?

I bought the Baby Trend Trendsport Lite for our last trip to Disney and thought it was great. It has a basket, it reclines, and it has cups holders for child and parent. It was destroyed in our garage, so I bought another one in preparation for our trip to Disney next month.

My three year old doesn't use a stroller at home, but this one is cheap enough, I bought it happily thinking I'd use it for the trip, then donate it to Goodwill when we get home.

I looked on BabiesRUs for a link, and it got terrible reviews so maybe I'm the only one who loved it (but many of the reviewers put babies in it, and it seems better suited for toddlers/preschoolers).

I'm also looking for one. My son will be three. We have a jogging stroller, but the plane, the bus, having to rent a minivan to carry it.
My son is tall. I was looking at Macclaren or maybe renting one from a service, not disney. I'm going to need it for the resort.

Good luck

We have a Mac. Love it. Steers far better than our old Peg Perego. We have the big Techno (mainly for the 5 yo with special needs) but I've read good things about the Volo - very lightweight.

If you get a stroller without a cup holder, I'd put in a vote for the Valco Universal Cup Holder. Other Disers had posted how great they are (hold all sizes of liquids without slipping out). I got two for our jogging stroller and love them. I just ordered two more for the Mac. One very clever Diser attached one of these cup holders on the side for her child to use (looked like it worked great from the pics). That really isn't an option for me as my 2 yo would just throw the drink on the ground, so we have to tether everything.

Good idea! And I completely understand having to tie things down... I'd rather tie it down than have to pick it 36 times.
