Looking for cheap stroller options

[scrap_heaven]

I am looking for inexpensive double stroller options while at disney. Our current stroller will not fit in our car on the way down.

NOT looking for a sit and stand. Looking for something less than $160 (the cost of renting) would like it to recline and have hoods.

Thanks for any help!

I fone of your kids is over 50#, check out orlando stroller rentals. There is also magic strollers, and A baby's best friend. Not sure if ABBF has doubles though.

I second Orlando stroller rentals.

That or magic strollers.

The doubles hold up to 100 lbs of child, distributed however you want between the two children. While counter-intuitive, the citi-mini has a little more height space than the citi classic.
I went to the store this weekend and tried my kids in the citi-mini double and my one year old was so happy he was screaming when we made him get out. My 52" tall 7 year old was comfortable (the interior top was touching the top of her head, but not pressing down on her) and she is 3" taller than the recommended top of head limit. It was easy to push with 85 pounds of child in it, and for $10 (I think) extra I rented the rain cover so if it rains, they can hide out in the stroller together.
Both companies will deliver and pick up to Orlando area hotels for free. and cost significantly less than disney rental... 10 days of orlando strollers = less than 4 days of Disney stroller.

Check out the local Wal-Marts and Targets as soon as you get there. You can get something decent for way less than that $160 and then donate to the Give the Kids the World facility.

Craigslist! You might be able to find a double for sale really cheap.
(As a mom of twins, I look to Craigslist to sell my used stuff).

We found the double we use for travel at a garage sale. It's Peg Perrego (which is $$$) but it was an older model and in great condition. I think we got it for $10.

You might also want to consider two cheaper umbrella strollers that you can attach together. We thought about that before we found the used stroller.

above is a link to a double stroller for $99 & 97 cent shipping. You can have it shipped to the resort (I would think). Then when you are finished, you can either try to fit it in your car, or on your car....or like I said before, donate it to the Give the Kids the World facility, or a local RMH prior to leaving Orlando.

When we flew to WDW a couple of years ago, we ordered ours from Walmart.com, picked it up at the local store, put it together, and we were in business!

Total cost was a little under $130.

Perhaps, but Craigslist would be a last, last, last resort, given that the OP is from Canada and is probably unfamiliar with the local area...

I got a Maclaren Triumph off eBay. Try that. It was actually directly from the manufacturer.

I just got back from the World yesterday and I rented a single City Series Baby Jogger for me and a double for my sister. Orlando Stroller rental was awesome! The strollers were waiting in bell services just when they were supposed to and customer service was super responsive when I called about an issue with a tire. Both strollers were clean, clean, clean!!!! The prices were absolutely reasonable- much better than Disney, and MUCH MUCH more comfortable to boot. Plus, staying at the Beach Club Villas, it was wonderful to not have to leave the stroller at the gate. Plus, not having to drag it through the airport was a bonus. I booked it through their online website. I would not hesitate to recommend them and I will absolutely use them again! ENJOY!!!!!

Check out consignment shops or places like goodwill. I see lots of double strollers at our local Once upon a Child, not so much goodwill here but that is because it is right down the street from OUAC and people would rather get a few bucks for a stroller than donate it to the "not so" goodwill.
