stroller seat for each child?

[frytalemom]

Hello, I will be coming to Disney in October before Halloween with my three kiddos who by then will be ages, 7, 5 and 8 mths. After reading up I do think they all need a stroller for most the trip. My girls are tiny little things and their little legs can only carry them so far! I am renting a double stroller and bringing my single. But... I keep wondering, two strollers to push?? What if I just did the double and switched kids off? What do you all think? Should they all have their own seat available or have to switch off?

I'd do a double at most. We skipped the stroller altogether with ours at just turned 5 and 7.

You have a few months. I would build up some stamina beforehand with longer walks and days out without a stroller for the older ones, then see what you think.

I have three kids myself and I would recommend having three seats available. All three kids are guaranteed to get tired each day. While I admit lugging two strollers onto the busses is a pain, it beats carrying a kiddo in the heat.

No way would I have a dedicated stroller for a 7 yo. The last time my DD rode in a stroller at WDW was when she was 5. We went to MNSSHP during our trip when she was 6 and I rented a stroller for her that night because surely she'd get tired and need a ride right? Nope she trucked on till after midnight. She's tiny too, around 50 lbs and 4 ft now at 8, at five she was 40 something lbs and under 44 inches.

I would bring the double. The 5 & 7 year olds can share. The last stroller we took was when dd was 5. Went open/close for 9 days. She used it the last 4 days. She went again the next year with her older sister and no stroller. Yes she would have ridden if it was provided but it was not and she was fine.

No way I would bring two strollers. The kids can switch off. I would bring a sling and a double stroller. The 8 month old can go in the sling (worn by either parent) and the others can ride in the stroller if need be. At other times, the older two can take turns sitting, walking or even riding piggy back with Dad. T

I especially wouldn't want to be dealing with the extra stroller if I were using Disney Transportation. Dealing with 2 kids, an infant that needs to be carried, a backpack/diaper bag and two strollers would be too overwhelming for my DH and I.

...or sell your stroller and get what we have.. The Zee-Two with a joey seat. Stroller is the BOMB A lot like a city mini but lighter and with a third seat.

Just an idea, although we have 5 kiddos under 6 going so they will have to take turns...
