Stroller Strategies, Generally

[epsmith921]

Remember if you are going to take the bus, have the stuff ready to be pulled out of the stroller and ready to fold. I personally like messenger or backpack bags for this purpose. Made it very easy to just grab the bag and go. Husband handled the stroller, I handled the kiddo and bag.

Like a PP said, have a plan so you're not stuck trying to get stuff and kids out of the stroller at the bus stop right as you're about to board a bus. You may want to bring a carrier for the baby if he/she will tolerate it. Might make life a little easier sometimes.

I am partial to driving with small children to all parks. It makes it much faster to get back at the end of the day or for a nap, whether you are onsite or off-site. Small children may not have the patience to wait in line for the bus at the end of the day, and a double stroller like yours is going to be hard to get in an out of the bus.

That said going to TTC to get to MK, and hauling around a stroller (even more a double) is a pain, even if you park close enough that you don't have to get the tram (and you have to get in early for this to happen). I've done it and it is not fun.
This is a tip I discovered on this boards, valet park at the contemporary and walk to MK, it is totally worth the extra $. Specially at the end of the day, when you just walk and someone gets the car for you. The fee is for the whole day, so you can go back for naptime and go back and valet park again. You also get inside MK much faster this way.

I'll just add it never hurts to ask. We were allowed to bring our stroller (all be it a small one) into a table service restaurant since the baby was asleep in it and they had an out of the way place for it. They just asked us to park it in a specific spot due to fire code but if we hadn't asked we never would have known. Though I will say when my son was small the baby carrier was a lifesaver... somewhere there is a photo of him asleep in it with a napkin on his head because my dinner was dripping... LOL
