Off-site stroller rental experience

[DBMC]

I have found two places that carry the stroller I want to rent, Traveling Baby, and City Stroller Rentals. Does anyone have experience with either company? I have no idea who to pick.

I bring my own stroller, so I haven't used either. I have heard good things about City Stroller Rentals.

Traveling Baby Company is a website that just provides referrals to local rental companies. If you go through them, most likely you will still get your stroller from City Stroller Rentals but will be dealing with a 3rd party.

Oh, I had no idea. Thanks! Looks like I will go with City Stroller. :

I'm having a difficult time navigating the City Stroller website. How do you know which strollers they offer and which to chose?

Click on the section that says Orange County vs. DL. It lists the strollers available.
Both the Baby Jogger City Mini and City Elite are good strollers. It would depend on the size of the child as to which one I would go with.
< 50lbs Mini -<75lbs Elite

so I have to ask.. pros to renting a stroller, never done it before and debating if we should.

I was looking at this company as well. Sorry to post in your tread!!

OK, well I just snagged a really good deal on a brand new city mini double. ($250 came with the belly bar and a cup holder!) So anyway, I wont need to rent now. But, the reason I was going to before is that our old double stroller is a beast. It was horrible to push around disneyland last trip. But my kids are older (3&4) and only use it for DL the Zoo etc. so I didn't want to spend $400+ on a nice stroller. So renting made sense.

mrsmith09: The city mini is nice and light weight, the Elite is a little more heavy duty. They are both very nice strollers, and I don't think you could go wrong with either. You can find great video reviews on youtube.

I just rented a stroller for 2 days at DLR thru City Stroller. I got the City Mini by BJ since my 5 1/2 year old is only 40 lbs. I got the insurance for the additional $25 so that brought my total to $65. "Disneyland/Cruiseline" prices are cheaper than "Orange County" prices, just so you know. It's being delivered and picked-up at the PPH so I am pretty happy with everything. I plan on using it primarily to extend our days at the park and to transport a tired kid back to the PPH, which is a hike after a long day in the park. Most of the day I plan to park the stroller at the Train Station or by the Monorail until we need it, so that is why I got the insurance.
