Hi.

As I have done for the past four years, I will be taking my dd and my 2 grandsons to Disney. My mom also comes while the
guys stay home.

This year, we will have an almost 5 year old and an almost 1 year old. My dd isn't going to take her double stroller this trip and we will rent.
We will use an umbrellas stroller or something similar in the airport for my almost 1 year old.

If we end up renting from babyquip (we did this when the oldest was younger for a crib), which stroller would you use? I can easily ask my dd
but as the nana, I also will be doing a lot of work, which I'm very capable of (59 and active):

BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie Double Jogging Stroller
BOB Double Stroller

I'm trying to rent from the same person we rented the crib from a few years ago but if above aren't good choices, I will move on to someone else.

Thank you.
 
Just from our experience. When our DDs were that age, and for the next handful of years after, we used a sit-n-stand. We really disliked the double wide strollers and found them so much harder to maneuver in WDW crowds.
 
I would consider a Baby Jogger Citi Mini GT double. Much easier to fold for getting on/off the bus and lighter than a BOB.

If you want to do a BOB I would do the revolution flex. My daughter was very comfortable in it at 2.5 when we went and is still comfortable at 5. Does the rental include an air pump? I would double check or plan to bring one, just in case.

We have both of these strollers as singles and are taking our citi mini this time since it's easier to fold and hold onto on a bus.
 
We rented the Bob Revolution with a 5.5 year old and a 1.5 year old....it's a pain to fold, we rented the Citi Mini double the following year.

Thank you very much! When my now 32 yo dd was younger, we purchased a sit-n-stand when my ds was born and I HATED it.
My dd couldn't rest and sleep and I found it SO SO heavy. Maybe they have changed, it was a new idea at the time.

Thank you. the hard folding is what I'm trying to avoid and make it as easy and seamless as possible. I will look into the Citi Mini GT,
although I have no clue what that is LOL My dd has a double Uppababy (or Nuna, I am not sure which one she purchased as the double) but even when we took the Uppababy when we just had my dgs, I found it heavy and a pain.

Thank you. Since you both have said CitiMinis I'm going to tell my dd we will rent that for Disney and I'll look into it first.
We will be three ladies so it will be okay but just trying to minimize the hard folding and weight. I found on the dis one year to take a large bag and through everything in it at the end of the day to fold up the stroller and that was such a fabulous idea.

Thank you!
