Need stroller help

[chewbacca]

We are going to Disney World in Sept and I want to get a new lightweight stroller for DS. We already have a cheap Wal-Mart umbrella stroller (that I hate BTW!) but need something that I don't have to hunch over to push and don't kick the wheels when walking behind it. To rent a stroller at the parks are about $16.00 per day so I figured that I would be better off getting a new one and get rid of the Wal-mart piece of crap!!!

Some requirements that it will need is: basket underneath, cup holder for mommy and cupholder/tray for DS. Oh...and I don't want to have to spend $$$ for it. I hear alot about the Maclarren and Peg Pergo strollers but most of them don't have some of the requirements plus the price a little out of range.

I have looked at Babies R Us website and this one looks ok but the reviews are not very good.

I don't want to get down to Florida and have it fall apart on me!!

Any suggestions?

TIA!!!

What about this puppy:

Or this one:

My DH found us a really nice one back when my DD was 5 to take to WDW. It would hold up to 40 lbs. But, the only thing I really wanted was something to roll her around in the parks, nothing fancy. (If the stroller worked as a backpack holder in it's "no child" time, that was cool.)

We have done the kolcraft something or other and ss stroller both similar to this, both costing $30 for disney and they both had what you mentioned you would like, minus they might be a bit low, not sure how tall you are. I loved them.

BUT I must say I have given in and got my Maclaren yesterday and Peg Perego last month! Wish I would have from day 1! My son is 3 1/2 so waited way too long! They are well worth the money! And I have different uses for both!

I had the same problem when we went to WDW in JAN/FEB. I have twins---they were 2.5 at the time we went. I couldn't fit our double stroller in the car with everything we were packing, so we had to bring single umbrella strollers. The ones I had were too short (I'm 5'4" and hubby is almost 6'). I ended up getting one without a basket underneath because all the ones I looked at with the basket were too short or not very sturdy, narrow seats, etc.
Here's what we bought:

They worked out great & were easy to find in a crowd since they are red. I'm still using them, so 6 days at WDW didn't destroy them. It has a cupholder for mom and a hanging bag on the back for jackets, toys, etc. You could also hang a diaper bag off the handles if you need to. I bought drink deputies so I could hook the boy's sippy cups to the strollers and they wouldn't need a cup holder. Here is a link to drink deputies, in case you don't know what they are. They work great! http://www.drinkdeputy.com/ I also bought snack traps (Babies R Us sells them now) so they could snack easily as well. I just linked the snack traps to the strollers, too, so they couldn't throw them. http://www.snacktrap.com/StoreFront.bok

FYI---I don't recommend that one from etoys mentioned earlier. I have it and it's too low when pushing. I have a backache by the time I get home.
Good luck!
