Bob versus a city mini

[Tink_83]

So I have a tallish child. DD is 4 1/2 years old but is 41 1/2 in tall (only 40.5 lbs though). Anyway, we own an old Graco stroller that she definitely does not fit anymore and we have a Bob Stroller, which she looks reasonably comfortable in. Last time I was at Disney, though, the Bob stroller was a pain when we were entering and/or leaving the park (the wheels make the thing awful when collapsing down for the tram ride to ticket and transportation center). That lead me to researching and purchasing a city mini (from amazon on sale for 162, I can return it). So I get the stroller together and realize that she looks a little too big for this stroller. My question is has anyone used the City Mini for a child about this size of my DD and if so how was it for a day a Disney? Is it worth keeping (I am pregnant with #2 so it will be used in the future but not for like a year or so). Thoughts and opinions?

I know that she will walk most of the time but we plan to be at the parks from rope drop through to close so I want something that she can nap in and then sleep in after the fireworks in the evening as we start on our way out of the park. Regarding renting, I know a lot of people like to rent but DH is not coming with us and since we will be leaving late I'm trying to avoid carrying her since I'll be 21 weeks pregnant when we go (and I'm like 61 inches so she is beginning to be a bit tall for me to carry, I keep thinking they switched my child with someone else's at birth, someone with tall genes

Keep it! City mini is great. Even if she is a little tall, it will be a good place for her to take a break from all the walking and it's fairly easy to open/close. Plus it reclines almost all the way for a nap. And you'll use it for #2 (and you can even get the stroller board on the back for your older one).

We use a double City Mini at Disney for my 3 & 5 year olds. My 3 year old is 40" and my 5 year old is ~44". They both fit fine. It's so much easier to get on and off the buses. I see people struggling with the other brands, so we stick with the Babyjogger.
