Orlando Stroller Question

[cne_burns]

I have reserved a double for my trip in September (DD5, DS3) and have two questions.

1. Where can I find a rain cover to fit?
2. Can anyone have a good idea for drink holders since the rental doesn't come with one?

Thanks!

You can buy accessories directly from Baby Jogger here: http://www.babyjogger.com/c-31-Accessories.aspx#universal The model of double stroller OSR uses is the City Mini Double. The prices are a bit steep, IMO. I'd be hesitant to buy a universal stroller cover unless it specifically said that it was compatible with the City Mini double. They also sell a cup holder. I personally kept my drinks in water bottles and kept them stored in the net pocket on the back of the stroller. You could buy one and then resell it on Ebay as a used item and probably get 75% of your money back. I looked on Ebay and did not find any, with the exception of some Ebay stores that sold the products. You can find universal cup holders on Ebay too.

The Valco Universal cup holder is resonably priced and you can use it on your stroller at home. I wouldn't worry about a rain cover for that stroller since you don't own it at home if you just want to keep it dry while parked throw a cheap $1 store poncho over the seats. We use one's that we bought at the zoo locally, not fancy but works.

We've rented the double from them twice now. I bought a universal rain cover and an organizer/drink holder thing for the handle bar from Babies R Us (online).

The rain cover works pretty well. It doesn't come down quite far enough in the front, so if it's really raining hard and the wind is blowing the kids still get kinda wet. What we've done in that situation is unbutton it a little from the top and let it hang down lower on them. This leaves the back of the stroller a little more exposed, though.

The organizer is nice. I really like it. The cup holders part of it hold water bottles really well, and fountain drink cups fit okay if they're not too large. Honestly at Disney we didn't tote our soda cups with us too long after our meals. But we usually had water bottles somewhere in the stroller or backpack. In my organizer I also store a few snacks, a couple of diapers, extra wipes, tissues, travel size sunscreen, travel size first aid kit, sunglasses, and germ x. I leave this organizer attached when I fold the stroller. Nothing falls out because it's all in zippered or velcroed pockets. (I do take any drinks out of the holders as that part isn't zippered.)

Another place I've bought stroller accessories from is www.carryyou.com. I like this site because they tell you which brands/models of strollers each of their items fit on. They are a little more expensive, though.
