We'll be taking our 8 month old DD to Disney in October :yay:

We've been several times so we won't be trying to see and do everything and we always head back to the resort in the afternoon for a break.

We'd like to know what stroller would be comfortable for her to be in for a few hours. We'll also have an Ergo carrier so she won't be spending all of her time in the stroller, but she'll definitely need to nap in it. Thanks for your opinions!
 
I posted this on another thread, but we have the Peg Uno and recommend it highly. It is on the expensive side. . . $500, but you can get 2007 discontinued fabrics for around $300. It reclines totally flat, and the footrest props up to make a nice bed and it is really cushy. The underside basket is large. I can fold it with one hand, and it has a carry handle on the side to make it easier to carry on the busses. It also stands independently when folded--nice when waiting on trams or busses. The handle reverses so baby can face you or the world at large, but it is harder to steer that way because it has wheels like the Bugaboo. Makes for a very smooth ride, though. The stroller also converts into pram with boot for small babies in case you are going to have more kiddos, and fits most car seats as a travel system (adaptor strap included).
 
By 8 months old they can sit up really well, which makes choosing a stroller much easier.

I took a Graco IPO to WDW and loved it. I tell everyone who asks about it. It reclines all the way for napping, has tall handles for easy pushing, has a good sized basket and folds up umbrella-style for easy on and off the buses. And it was only $79.
 
I took DS at 8.5 mos...I purchased a Evenflo Journey stroller from Target (this is a little over 2 years ago, but I want to say it was $89 or so). It was the right combination of lightweight but full-featured for his size. I think it is marketed as a full-featured stroller with a lot less weight (key for getting on trams, etc.) It has tray, cupholders, etc. but it is not 20 some lbs. like some of the full-featured bigger strollers are. I wouldn't have done a lightweight stroller at that time...he needed cupholders and trays for snacking, plus a nice sunshade and lots of storage space underneath. I really loved that stroller. We still use it for big shopping trips, when I need the large basket underneath and all the cupholders and such. I really liked that stroller!!!!
 

We use our Mac Quest for WDW. It's made 5 trips and DS is really comfortable. I probably have at least 2 dozen sleeping stroller pics. Decent sizes basket, recline and a good shade.
 
Thank you for your responses so far. I've been researching some more and was wondering if anyone has the Peg Perego Centro and if you've used it for long trips at WDW.
