Need description of the rental strollers

[CherylinME]

We leave Saturday for WDW and this stroller thing is killing me! I have a 2.5 DS and a 7 DD. Do the double rental strollers have a strap to buckle him in? Also, from the pics we took 2 years ago, it looks like the ones at MGM were a burgundy canvas and at MK blue plastic. Still like that? Also what about AK? He sleeps in car seats well, so could he fall asleep in the blue plastic stroller with a jacket by his head?
I am having a horrid time deciding on renting so if DD gets tired she can ride, or just bringing his stroller that reclines. And I hate the idea of 2 strollers.
Thanks
Cheryl

They do have a strap (though at 2.5 my daughter could buckle and unbuckle herself). My kids "catnapped" in them ok, but I don't think the issues were with the strollers as much as the stimulation. Only MGM has the "umbrella-like" strollers last I checked - MK, Epcot and AK all have the plastic. Your seven year old will likely need a double to fit halfway decently unless she is small or willing to be cramped for the ride.

Friends who have used these rental strollers said be prepared for the strollers being kind of dirty. I guess the staff are supposed to clean them between users, but I would imagine cleaning is up to each person's interpretation. My friend suggested we bring our own, which is a real pain.

I wouldn't be happy with my 2.5 year old in one, they are very escapable...

My 7 year old walked last year and did fine except for one late evening in DTD when we rented one, the baby (1) obviously had a stroller. The previous year my dd was 6 and she borrowed the babys stroller on 2 late nights (baby went into sling)

I would just bring the toddlers normal stroller and see how the older child does
