Stroller Parking Issues In Wizarding World

[NatalieCat]

Perhaps the park wasn't designed for muggles who can't magically shrink their strollers or prams, but I have never had such issues with stroller space as I did in diagon alley. My family has taken two vacations to the Wizarding world of Harry Potter with small children and both times we have found no decent stroller parking in Diagon Alley. They offer a pram parking area that is literally a small room, where strollers get packed in as tightly as possible and when you go back to get your stroller you may have to move 30 strollers out a small hallway in order to get to yours and then move them all back in, it was a nightmare, carrying small children from the shops all the way back to this area and then spending 20 minutes trying to unpack our stroller from the front of this area.

Has anyone else had similar experiences? And do you have any tips or tricks to avoid this as we will be going back this summer and I already dread having to push a stroller through diagon alley, and negotiating this tiny parking area for strollers! but Diagon alley is my favorite place as well as our older child's, so not going with the little guy who needs a stroller still isn't a solution! haha

Park it outside of Diagon Alley.

Get a carrier if the younger one is a baby/young toddler. That way, you'll feel like you can park far away. If it's not a baby but an easily walking child who uses a stroller, then having the child walk back to the stroller won't be a big deal.
