POLL - help me choose a stroller to use

[daisylove]

I cant decide. DS is 35-36 lbs. Going in Jan so may have to have room for a blanket type thing with him. He likes to sit straight up. We need storage, non tippy, easy push, and must fit in a smaller trunk. These are what I have.

I don't know anything about the other strollers you listed but when we went last October we bought a used Mclaren Volo stroller for our 3.5 year old son who was just over 40 pounds. Loved it!!!! We are taking it again for our January trip this month.

I dont know anything about any of them either, but went for the first jogger because I saw you can get a stroller cover, which you should have.

Are you buying this new? I highly recommend this one:

Its super easy to use with a big easily accessible backet, cup holders, and a removable trey for the child. Its so much easier for a toddler to climb in and out if the can snap the tray off. We used one like this for 5 trips to WDW from the age of 11 mos to 5 years. And the price is so good, you wont worry about it every time you leave it somewhere alone. Its also light enough to carry one handed.

We have a Combi for DS. He will be 4, next week, and it fits him well. He is 36lbs and 40 inches. It was not very expensive (under $100) and we acctually bought it specifically for travelling when DS was 18 months after having a terrible time with a cheapy umbrella in Florida when he was 1.

It has a pretty good storage basket plus a mesh pocket on the back, reclines a bit for napping and turns well and folds great. It will stand on it's own when folded and has a strap for carrying. We hang our knapsack off the back and if it overloaded the stroller does occasionally tip (if there is no weight in the front) but there needs to be quite a bit of weight in the back and no kid in the front.

I'm not familiar with the ones you listed but I have been using maclaren volos and they are so light weight, easy to fold and hold more pound then an umbrella stroller.

I love my 'older' mountain buggy! I've used it on the beach with my 1 year old in it, state fair grounds with my oldest riding in it and lots of other rough 'roads.' No problems. But I cannot imagine folding it up to put it on Disney transportation. I can carry it and the baby, but it's a bugger! We got a maclaren (thanks to lurking on these boards) Our DS5, at 46lbs, had the option of riding on longer days and it was so easy to fold and carry when we needed to. Good luck with your purchase!

I just used the BJCM double from Magic Strollers and loved it! DS4 is 40lbs and DD2 is 27lbs. It was great with them both! And SO easy to fold for transportation.

I voted for the BJ Mini. That is our current WDW stroller. We used a Peg P3 for WDW trips with youngest DD when she was 3 months and again at 15 months. We then bought a BJ Mini and have used that at 2yrs and again at 3yrs. She is now about 30 pounds and 39 inches.

I have also heard that the Buggster is a favorite for Disney trips but I have never used one myself. I did really like the P3 but we sold the 2 we owned before DD turned 2 so I'm not sure how it would have been now that is older. But the Mini is great with easy steering, the quick fold, and the large sunshade.

We have a designated Disney stroller. We use the Fisher Price Safe Voyage stroller. It is made by Britax for FP. I bought mine for 35.00 from albeebaby but amazon has them for a little more. It's great for WDW. We use it with a Valco Universal sun shade cover that I bought from elitecarseats.com. It has a ton of storage, drives like a dream, multi-adjustable seat position, snack tray for dd, and cup holder for me. I add a Mommy hook to the handle to put a small cooler or other bags. Plus, I don't have to worry if it gets stolen. It was cheap!! I'm taking my jogging stroller in March when I run the princess half marathon and I'm terrified it will get stolen.
