HELP! stroller and storage question

[blancah76]

We will be visiting WDW in 2 wks. I have a 4 yo son and am planning to rent a stroller at the parks. What are some good ways of carrying all your things? Is there storage on the strollers? I need to take snacks, baby wipes, sunscreen, a change of clothes for him, and so on. What is the best way to carry all these things? I had gone before when he was younger and had taken my own stroller which had storage and I was not concerned about anyone mistakingly taking it. I am somewhat concerned about leaving our things in the stroller that looks like 50 other ones that anyone could walk away with. All suggestions welcome.

i used to carry a small back pack! (im trying the baggalini messenger bag this trip)

I heard that the kids backpacks work well if your just using it for a few items and most are waterproof!

I also use a messenger type bag and carry small items. For sunscreen you can use the stick type to re-apply during your day. For wipes you can get the small travel type. You can carry small packs of raisins or power bars if you need snacks. That won't take up much room in your bag. Your kiddo is 4, so you probably wont need extra clothes other than a sweatshirt if it gets cold.
I prefer a messenger style bag because my back gets really warm with a back pack, and it is easier to reach in and grab things.
Have a great time!

I agree with this bag choice and other suggestions, back packs get hot. when my kids were 4 I'd only bring a pair of underwear and a pair of thin soccer type shorts that I could roll up and put in a sandwich size zip lock. Shirts dry and if I really needed one I could buy a T. I also only brought 1 or 2 small snacks like a pack of crackers or fruit roll up thingy. Then my camera and a few personal things and a few cheap ponchos all fits in one smallish bag. I just took this "purse" on the rides.

i can never do a backpack, they are too hot! i take a small tote (one that i don't care about it usually gets dirty) and fill it with what i need and this way it's small enough to toss into or onto the stroller

I found one of these at Big Lots for .99 They worked perfectly.

Oh another thing we do is keep all our snacks and wipes in ziplock baggies, so as they finish up, we don't have containers left to lug around
