Best travel stroller

[twinboysmom]

We have twins and are planning our first WDW trip with babies (been hundreds of times up to 2010). Our favorite stroller at home is our Bumbleride Indie Twin. It has great storage and steers easily with one hand, which is rare with twin strollers. Unfortunately, it's heavy and doesn't fold very flat. Has anyone ever taken one of these on the busses? That's my biggest fear!

I'm honestly considering driving instead of flying just so we don't have to deal with the busses, though we've always LOVED not having to drive on vacation. Not sure what to do!?!?

We have twin boys. I rent a double citi mini from apple and we used cheapie umbrellas in the airport. I refuse to settle for cheap strollers at wdw. The citi mini pushes easily and folds with one had and is easy on the buses. It has a great sunshade and full recline. It is what had worked well for us. We also have a double Mclaren we have brought and never again. Lousy sunshade, lousy recline, and it's harder IMO to fold than the citi mini.

DO NOT USE A CHEAP UMBRELLA IN THE PARKS if you are used to a decent stroller at home.

We went to another amusement park yesterday to prep for our Disney trip. We didn't realize until about 45 minutes from home that our city mini was in my DH's car. I decided to stop at Walmart to buy a cheap umbrella stroller, since it cost the same as a rental at the park. What a mistake! That rickety thing got us through the day, but barely. The wheels were wobbly and would get stuck sideways sometimes. It was hard to push, since the wheels are so small. I can't imagine using something like that for a whole week at Disney.

Rent a good stroller if you are afraid an airline will damage yours.

Personally, I LOVE my Britax b-agile. I feel that it is much better than the city-mini. It's essentially the same stroller but....

The viewing flap is mesh, not plastic, so there is more air circulation
The center lock is much more difficult to open meaning that while it's harder for me to open, its WAY more difficult for him to open!
The material is not so windbreaker-y feeling, it is a more sturdy material.

It's 16lbs and has a one-button fold. The basket isn't very big, but I don't put much into it anyway. It drives like a dream, spins and is a great strollers. Plus, it has a huge canopy - which is a MUST here in Florida. I don't understand people who visit Disney and have strollers with these pitiful canopies. It's not fair for the little munchkins.
It also comes in some fantastic colors like peacock and purple now. And you can get travel bags, rain covers and other accessories for it.

My only complain about the b-agile is the fact that you can't adjust the stroller bar height. That part bugs me, but it's not a deal breaker.

So far, the stroller has held up through multiple airport trips, Disney buses, the little Disney boats (from MK to Grand Floridian), monorails, all the parks, Chicago winters, Wisconsin winters and Disneyland. It's a great stroller.
