Do you think I will need a stroller for a 4 yr old

[hoosiergirl7]

We will be taking our stroller in April for DS who turned 4 about a month ago. He still really enjoys riding in it and I know he will be exhausted and not want to walk. We have the Maclaren Triumph stroller and love it because it's light-weight and easy to fold.

I would recommend it just to be on the safe side.

Oh my gosh, yes! You absolutely need a stroller! We made the mistake of not getting one on the first night we arrived, thinking we wouldn't be there that long the first night. DH ended up carrying a sleeping 4 year old. DD9 and I sat Daddy and Brother on a bench in Adventureland while we ran around and rode more rides. He was so exhausted. We used a stroller everyday the rest of the trip and never regretted it. DD9 also rode some, so we got the double. It's just a TON of walking!

We're going spring/summer and we'll definately need a stroller for all that walking. My DD4 gets tired quickly and will need it. Our almost 6 year old will want to sit for awhile to, even though she can put on more miles. We'll definately rent as stroller there.

You absolutely need a stroller for a 4 year old (and I even say 5 and 6 too!). I was soooooo glad I brought one for my 4 year old when we went--and he hadn't used a stroller in real life in a long time!

A point that hasn't been brought up yet is that when you are walking in a crowded area, (down Main Street at opening, after parades...) the only thing your poor kid can see is knees, and that they often get jostled and bumped by accident because adults who aren't looking down just see a "hole" in the crowd and move into where your child is walking. So it ends up being safer for them in the stroller, and much easier for you to walk in the crowds as well, instead of having to carry them.
