Stroller Locks

[vtwep]

Hi All,

I've seen plenty of threads on "will my stroller get stolen" or "how can I lock my stroller"? From what I know, you can't lock your stroller to a fixed location (bench, etc). The CMs wouldn't be able to move it, and the lock may get cut, etc.

But I have read that you can lock the front wheels, making the stroller not worth stealing but still able to be relocated short distances by "popping a wheelie".

Based on the latter, I found the lock linked below on Amazon (i think it was recommended on another thread here on the boards). It takes seconds to put on or take off. I found that with the 3-foot version, I can get it through both sheels and around one of the frame bars along the side and still lock it. Seems like a good deterrent if nothing else.

Just wanted to share in case others are looking for something like this! I hope this doesn't go against any posting rules, etc.

Thank you! I just got a new stroller and was wondering what kind of lock to get for the wheels!

Wow, I never thought of locking a stroller at WDW. We have a brand new stroller we brought down last week and parked it all over the place with out any problems, with things in the basket. I truly don't believe there are many stroller thefts but I would bet that there are a lot of mix ups with the rental strollers since they all look alike. Kind of a crazy world if you have to lock a stroller to go on a ride.........for us we don't worry about it.

Hmmm, I might have to get something like that. I love my Phil & Ted and always worry someone might steal it! LOL!

Glad this was useful. yes - it may not be for everyone, but wanted to throw it out there just in case. We have it, will bring it, but not sure if we'll use it. Would just hate to be that "rare case" and then be in a bad mood and have to try to replace a stroller while on vacation. I'm torn!

Did you buy it through Amazon or did you find it at a store locally? I ask because I just don't think I have enough time to order it and have it before we leave next Wed.

I ordered through Amazon. It was in stock and came fairly quickly. But I don't know if that helps you any or not! Good luck...and most importantly, have a great trip!
