Suggestions for good strollers?

[NloveW/Disney]

So we're going to Disney soon with some extended family, and there are several kids ranging from 2 -4 years old. I was hoping that the experts here would have a good suggestion on a stroller to use. I'd like something on the smaller side so that it's easy to take on the Disney transportation, but those little umbrella stollers don't have any pockets and if you try to stick a bag( even a small one on it) it falls right over when the kids gets up. i'd love to see some pics or links to strollers! Thanks everyone!

Love my Graco Metrolite, look it up on Babies R Us website, it's light, folds nicely, big enough for a nap, nice storage underneath, snack tray for the child, nice parent tray and nice sunshade overhead. We've owned two and love them, and we've used them on Disney buses and have had no issues!

We were at WDW in Oct. took 2 Graco ipo strollers. They are umbrella strollers, hold 50lbs, fold up nicely, have big storage, it never tipped over. LOVED IT no problems. Used it for a 2yr old, 3 yr old, and a 5 yr old. Got them at Kohls for around 70 with 30% off code and free shipping.

We used the Maclaren Volo, it has a small basket underneath, you can purchase a thing to hang on the handles for about $25 that will hold drinks and other small items. It was the perfect size, and it folded up nice a small for transportation.

Has anyone rented a stroller there from an outside stroller renatal place?

I haven't rented from an outside source, but we looked into it before we decided to bring our own double stroller. Prices seemed high and we were concerned about weight limits for our 4 and a half yo DS and almost 3 yo DD.

We brought along a Combi Twinsport 2 double stroller and it was a lifesaver. Folded up nicely and you could roll it folded or carry it via a strap. Stands on its own when folded too. Weighed about 12 pounds and held my dd7, ds3 and dd1 at various times. carries children up to 45 lbs (each side). Reclined, baskets, canopy, easy to get them in and out.

This what I use. I love it! You did not include the best feature...is has the shoulder strap to carry it! Makes life so much easier! I actually use a cinch sac back pack and hang on the back. it works out great.

We used our full size Graco for our 3 year old. It was the best.

We have a Graco Ipo too, and LOVE it. It has all of the features of the MacLaren (except it has a carrying handle, not strap), but about 1/2 the cost. (Our MacLaren broke, and I did a ton of reasearch before buying the Graco- I tend to be a bit of a "stroller snob", but didn't want to put a ton of $$$ into a new stroller for my already one year old, who is our last child.)

We are taking that for ease of use and portablility thru the airport and so on. I had all intentions of using it at the parks, but got to thinking that my 5 year old may poop out and need a stroller as well. We are actually getting a double jogging stroller from one of the stroller swaps on the budget boards: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1885802 . I don't know if that is something that would be feasible for you, but it made sense for us- my older one can make it thru the airports and so forth, so it wasn't worth it to me to lug our big double stroller down with us. Just a thought, if you didn't know about the swaps

We brought a Mia Moda Cielo stroller with us and loved it. It folds really compactly and the bag on the back held a lot. Even comes with it's own storage bag.

I'm in a stroller swap for a Maclaren Twin Techno - great for bigger kids (I've actually owned one before and my 5 yr old DS still rides comfortably.)

There are some dates open in January and after President's Day. Check out the stroller swap sticky in the budget board. We are "Free Dining and Beyond". Buy in is $23. Less than 1-day rental at the parks.

I can't seem to find this swap. How am I missing it? We will be there in January, and I need to get a double stroller. Please help me!!

Orlandostrollerrentals.com (I think it is spelled correcty)
They have singles, doubles, and special needs. Drop off and pick up at resorts for you at no extra charge.

Don't go with the Peg Perego stroller. We love how lightweight it is and the fact that it folds like an umbrella stroller, however, the zipper gets caught every time it's opened, and has broken. It's $100 to replace the hood!

We have a Phil & Ted's double that I love! We will be bringing it with us this Feb for our two little guys.

I can't post links but if you google "Phil Ted Inline Sport", Regallager (second link down) has pics and info
