Chicco C5 Stroller-Anyone ever gone to WDW with one?

[hcmommy]

That's our umbrella stroller and we are debating between bringing it or our full sized Chicco. Any firsthand experiences with this particular stroller? Did add a cup holder, parent bag or snack tray or anything to it? Ours didn't come with any of that and I'm wondering if we should get them.

We have one but it hasn't made it to Disney just yet. (It did go to Kings Dominion for two days and was great.) I have a Valco cup holder and a Skip Hop diaper bag that we used.

We used our Chicco umbrella stroller for Disney MANY times with our son and it was GREAT. It was easy and compact to fold up on the buses, and on the train at the MK. We were able to do without any cupholders or other accessories. Our son has used it from age 7 months when he first went, to age 3.

The only complaint we have with that stroller is there isn't much protection from the sun with the canopy, so buying an attachment would be a good idea, as would a stroller fan probably.

That's what I wanted to hear. My main complaint with the stroller is the canopy too. It's a joke. I have a Kiddopatomos shade we need to try out on it and I just got a stroller fan too. Sounds like it might be the way to go. Thanks.

Ours has made 3-4 trips to WDW and has been great!

I am interested to know this too. We have a full-size Chicco that I really don't want to send through the airport and lug around on the buses. We are considering the Chicco umbrella. Someone told me that it doesn't recline all the way...is there one that does??

 

[hcmommy]

It does not recline all the way, but it reclines more than any other Chicco umbrella I have ever seen. Very easy to recline, sit up also.

We took our Chicco last year, it worked great Much easier to push around than the rentals. I just bought a canopy extender last night from One Step Ahead. Only $15 We're taking it again this year

We have used it and were quite pleased. A cup holder would be nice though as would an extendable shade. But it has held up well after a long trip to the parks. Plus the rain cover that it came with has come in very handy!
