Strollers on the bus

[sparty7798]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to lug your stroller on the bus? Where do you put them once on the bus?
Thanks

It can be problematic depending on how crowded the bus is and when you get on. Also what kind of stroller you are lugging. We us a Macleren which is very lightweight and folds up small. We get on and put the stroller in between DH and I. DS sits on our lap. If we are standing we just hold the stroller next to us.

Lugging a stroller is better than holding and carrying a very tired little one for long distances.

Thanks! Our stroller is a graco, kind of heavy, but we can put a lot of stuff in the under carriage so we don't have to carry it. Our son will just turn two and he is 30 pounds so we are not going to be lugging him everywhere.

Thanks again!

We have a Graco as well that we took along to Disney w/ our then 13 mo. old DD. My advice - don't load up the undercarriage - it was kind of a hassle to unload everything getting on and off the buses and small boats. After the first day, we just took a small diaper bag with us and that was it.

Just remember that strollers have to be folded up and are not supposed to be on a seat. They need to be on the floor, out of the way so that other guests can get past you.

I would look for a higher weight capacity (45lb) umbrella stroller that folds up compactly.

We bought Combi's for the boy's first trip and have used them twice. 2 different friends have also borrowed them to take to WDW. Ours had a sun shade, reclined, a basket underneath, and folded up quickly. They were great, no "lugging". No evil looks from fellow riders It was nice to have our own stroller when we got back to the resort. If the kids fell asleep on the bus, we could put them in the strollers and push them back to the room.

You can usually find something like this on ebay for around $30-$40.

Our next trip will be stroller free, so THAT should be interesting
