Strollers, High Chairs in Restaurants

[ammer0910]

What do you do with a stroller when you're going to a meal? We'll be dining at Chef Mickey's, Rainforest Cafe, 1900 Park Fare and Hollywood & Vine, plus numerous CS places.

Do we have to park the stroller outside before going in?

Also, has anyone with infants/toddlers ever had trouble finding a high chair (i.e. they're all being used)?

Thanks!

Okay, we haven't used high chairs or strollers in year...the boys are 22 and 20 although sometimes they act as if they should be in one or the other or both

But we have never seen anyone have any trouble getting a high chair. From what I remember, most (if not all) restaurants want you to park your stroller outside. You might be able to get away with a stroller in some of the counter service, but I very much doubt it at a table service establishment.

If your child is asleep as DS was every time we went to eat last year. He was only 6 months old and the CMs at any of the podiums were really great. At the Rose and Crown he was soo asleep.. The CM said so sweetly, if there is one thing Ive learned, never wake a sleeping child. But if he was awake we parked our stroller in the lot with everyone else's.

Just ask. When we took our 5 mo old, we sometimes asked; they sometimes offered. I know we took the stroller in to Ohana, H & V, LTT, Sci-FI, CRT, & Cosmic Rays. At CP, they have special baby seats. We left it out of a lot of counter service places b/c they were just too packed.

I don't know what their policy is if the baby is older and can clearly use a high chair. Our dd was a new sitter and too wobbly and small for high chairs. Our stroller was the size that you put a baby car seat into (although our car seat wasn't in it).

Hope that helps!
