Cooler bag/Tote bag-City Double Stroller

[marymaya]

I'm renting a city double mini for our upcoming trip. I'm wondering what bags hang the best off of the handle. I prefer to use a bag with a really long shoulder strap that just stretches across entire handle. With all the confusion going around about the refrigerators, I'm wondering if I should just invest in a cooler bag that has the right type of shoulder strap, to hang across the handle. That way I can reuse it back at Pop for our drinks in the room and it will double as our tote bag during the day. My girls are 3 and 5 and really don't require a ton of baggage when out and about, and we plan on taking breaks so should reduce the need to over pack for our days in the park.

Any ideas on: Bags that fit well over the city double mini handle and/or really good cooler bags that can double as park bag and cooler in the hotel?

Thanks!

My wife uses a black and white cooler bag she got from a "31" party. It works perfect! When we don't use that we have a Mickey shaped hanger for the stroller. Works great! They usually have them at the resort gift shop.

Ha! I just had a Thirty One party last night, and bought 2 different bags in hopes that one of them will fit nicely under that same stroller (or hang nicely!). I wish I were near a store that had strollers to test!! But they are all a good 2 hour drive!

I am curious as well, maybe someone has pictures of the bags on their strollers for us to review.

I have a few 31 bags, not sure which would work best. We will be renting the City Mini single stroller this November.

I would love pictures of the set ups that people have with this stroller. I thought I read that the basket underneath was annoying to get to, so hanging a bag would be easier if it would hang properly. I have a bunch of 31 bags too, but they're kinda big even for a Disney trip. I almost want an insulated duffle bag sort of thing. I guess the Mommy Hook would work too, if the straps were shorter.

This is my everyday stroller and this will be my second time taking it to DW. We purchased the city mini stroller cooler bag that attaches to the bottom of the stroller. I love it, but it doesn't hold too much. We also have attached the britax stroller organizer for our drinks and the sunshine kids buggy buddy. I prefer the Britax stroller organizer since it holds the beverage cups (counter service cups) better and has a magnetic closure that is large enough to hold my cell phone.
The storage bag underneath is sometimes tricky to access, but it still works out pretty well. I place my ergo carrier underneath and typically a ziploc bag of extra clothes (we are currently potty training). I normally pack a backpack and hang it from my stroller with a mommy hook. In the mesh bag on the back of the seat, I normally put ziploc bags of extra snacks, our travel potty, pack of wipes.

I have not personally hung a bag over the double handle, but I have seen others that have. I think you really need to use a bag that you feel comfortable with. Will you leave it on your stroller when going on rides or will you be taking it off each time and bringing it with you? I prefer a backpack on the a mommy hook, so I can bring it with me into shows, longer rides, dinner/lunch.

I am a 31 consultant and have used the picnic thermal tote and out and about thermal over the handle of my city mini with no issue. I also take a thermal lunch tote and put underneath as well as a cinch sac and worked great.
