Stroller or No?

[lucyem]

I am sitting here looking at our stroller we have not used for a year now wondering if I should put it on Craigslist. We never go anywhere it is needed. My DS's will be 7 & 4 1/2 when we go to WDW. I was thinking how it might be handy to have so either DS could sit and relax and more importantly our little one could be contained if needed. The last day trip we took to a type of park we left the stroller home and our little one was OK. Though to be honest I missed having something to carry our stuff We are driving so bringing it is not a big deal. I think I have convinced myself to bring it along. Any reason not to??? Thanks!

With their ages being 7 and 4 1/2 I would def. bring it. Disney tires little ones out pretty quick, and it gets worse as your stay goes on. It's nice to have incase they woud need it, and like you said it is great to have a place to pt your stuff!

I would definately bring it along. Walking at a Disney park all day for days in a row is way more exhausting than doing a small local theme park for a day. I wouldn't be suprised if your 7 1/2 year old didn't end up in it a few times.

I think it is better to have one and not use it than end up having to rent one and have to spend the small fortune Disney charges to rent one.

I didn't use one at all for my 4 yr old, but we prepared her with long nightly walks 6 months out before the trips.Plus she is an only and doesn't need to try and keep up with older siblings or commando parents.If you think you need it, bring it.

I'd take it there's no reason not if you're driving. You will probably use it at lest a few times while you're there. My 4.5 year old will need one for sure when we go next.

We brought our stroller for our trip this summer with our boys ages 4 and 7 and was very glad we had it! We clipped 4 cupholders to it and were able to haul around the soft cooler all day which was great. I wished we had talked to DS4 about sharing beforehand. He considered it to be HIS stroller and did not want to share at all. DS7 was too big to push around, but sometimes just wanted to rest in it for a few minutes in the shade. At Epcot we even rented a Disney stroller for DS7 for one day and those things push like a dream! If we hadn't brought our own we would have ended up having to buy or rent one, for sure.

Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it!

I'd take the stroller! I actually bought one for my DS for our upcoming trip so we didn't need to rent one. I already have a lady who will pick it up from me at Pop on the morning we leave, I got an awesome deal, I am selling it to her for $5 less than I paid for it, so it's like paying $1 a day for having the convenience of a stroller! I sold it on Craigs List. I would sell it on Craigs List if you are done with it, or your child is too heavy for it.

I would take the stroller - our 5 1/2 year old daughter used the stroller more than our 22 month old (he wanted to be carried!).

I'd bring it.

I think it does depend on when you are going and how much walking your child (ren) do.

My niece was in the stroller I bought most of the time we were in the parks. She would sleep in it if she was tired. It was so nice not having a backpack on my back all the time also. I used the cup holders everyday.

I lost the cupholder it came with on the flight home so this year I'm attaching waterbottles to the stroller.

I would totally bring the stroller. After doing a lot of research, thinking, planning and rethinking. I realized that taking a stroller has more benefits than cons. And since you are driving...it's even better!

I actually just purchased a new stroller for DD4 for our trip in 29 days (Yay!). I did not want to rent one if she decided she needed it. Plus, I want it for all my stuff!

That's a tough one... if he was 3 I'd say take it, but 4...
not sure!

Guess I wasn't much help! If it were me I'd take it...

Not sure what kind of stroller it is or how much it is worth. But if you took it and used it only a few times and then gave it to another family without a stroller that might be equal to the cost of renting a stroller if you needed it and it would make another family happy.
