Infant strollers available at Disney???

[DisFam95]

I just read on another site (Deb's) that infant stroller are available with attached car seats and that you just have to request one. Is this new? Has anyone used these before?

Also, my friends are coming with us with thier 3 1/2 mo, my son had out grown his car seat at 3 mo and used a regular stroller reclined a bit and their boy is big too. I just don't recall seeing people pushing strollers with the car seat carriers/travel systems. How do you get on buses with these? What do you guys suggest for this age?

Thanks

I just read a post where someone used WDW's "infant" stroller in a pinch but I have never seen one.

Personally I would not recommend using the carseat stroller's for long periods of time like a day in the parks. While they are great for a quick trip to the grocery store et all sitting in a carseat all day is not good for baby. The WDW rentals are not really suited for a baby much younger than 1yo.

A nice lightweight fully reclining stroller would be a better option for a 3 1/2 mo. You would have better air flow and the infant could lay flat rather than "bunched" up in a carseat.

I can't imagine the logistics of taking out the carseat, folding stroller and getting on and off the bus/tram etc with the carseat stroller. There is no place to secure baby on the bus with a carseat anyway.

I also highly recommend a sling or snugli for a baby that young. You can't bring the stroller through the lines and for us a sling was a total lifesaver. I wore baby in line as well as on the ride (pretty much anything without a height restriction!) and it was great. HTH.

I think allears.net has lots of great suggestions and tips for traveling with an infant.
