Stroller locks?

[lissawynn]

If you do lock your stroller, how do you do it? I know it cannot be locked to something, but how do you make your stroller immovable?

Are you saying you want to lock your stroller at Disney? Because 9 times out of 10, a Disney CM is going to move the stroller. They are constantly reorganizing the stroller areas. If you put a lock on the wheels, they will lift it up to move it.

Is the concern that your stroller will be taken? We had no problems with our Maclaren in Disney - we just made sure it was labelled well so that it was obvious it was ours

I'm buying a Maclaren for our trip, and I'd really like it to come home with us. I just want to make the wheeles not move so it will be really undesireable to someone maybe looking to trade up.
How did you label your stroller?

There was a post about this a few weeks ago that turned into a huge debate over whether you should lock your stroller or not. Amidst all the drama, I think a few people did actually say how you do it...it was either lock the 2 front wheels together or lock one front and back wheel together. I forget which. You might want to search for that post.

I hear you about wanting your stroller to come home with you. I plan on locking my stroller up too. Anyway, I think I'm just going to try both of those ways and see what works best. Sorry I couldn't help more!

We label our stroller the following ways:

Curling ribbon attached to the stroller handle.
DH made luggage tags that are laminated and BRIGHT RED. We attached that to the handle as well.

My only concern regarding locking the stroller is having to do it every single time you move the stroller. To me it's a lot of time wasted.

1. Take child out of stroller
2. Lock stroller
3. Ride ride.
4. Unlock stroller
5. put child back in stroller
6. walk 10-20 feet.
7. Goto step 1.

My guess is that if you locked your stroller in a way that CM couldn't easily manuver it, somebody might get really irritated with you and do something that might damage your stroller for good. I'm sure most CM wouldn't but I wouldn't bet on it....
