Hi everybody. We're going to have to drop out of the swap. Our friends aren't going to be able to make it, so we no longer need a double stroller. Just wanted to let you know so you could fill the space before it got too much closer. Hope you all have fun on your vacations!

We are getting the stroller on the 27th of December, but on DEC 20- 24 (bandjbaine) is who has it before us. Should I go a head and contact (bandjbaine) or wait just a bit more and see if anyone else picks up the dates between.


Yea it is getting closer..

I haven't seen this thread in a while so I just wanted to pop in and make sure everything is ok!

Glad you sent this one back to the top. I was getting worried. Every time I see this thread hit the top of my subscriptions I think someone's going to say, "The stroller's missing!"

can someone give us an update of the stroller's status?

I know, I worry about that too!

Hello, and time for an update... So far, so good, our swap is still running!
I just heard from bechtelca@comcast.ne that she picked it up as scheduled, and delivered it as well. However, she reported that some swappers before her slacked on keeping the stroller clean.
So I hope that one of our next swappers can find time to throw the seat covers into the wash.
And again remind everyone that by participating you agree to the rules, including providing a clean stroller for the next swapper, as well as checking it where it was discussed, not where is best for you. Please arrange the end of your trip accordingly, so someone else may have an enjoyable beginning to their trip.
Also, when you get home, just drop in and let us know how everything is going!
Just a friendly reminder...

Just posting so I can sub.

I'm finally subscribing too. Don't want to miss any pertinent stroller information as we get closer to our trip.

We'll be at WDW from Dec 16-23, if there's an opening. I think one post said yes then another said it was taken? If it's open, we'd love to participate! Do I need to PM the OP or just post here?

Sorry, I thought I updated the thread over the weekend, but I guess I closed the laptop before it was done.
The first post now shows the correct list.

That's alright, I think I found another swap. Thank you though, and hope everyone has a great trip!

Just got back. The stroller was waiting for me even though luggage services could not find it at first. If you can email the claim number to the person after you that would make it easier. The stroller seats are pretty dirty, but it probably would come out in the wash (who has time for that.) It worked out very well for my daughter when she would use it. She liked the stand part.

How hard do you think it will be to get the pad off? Would it dry pretty quickly? I won't be ther for a month, but I'll try to do it if it hasn't been done by the time I get there.

Looks like I'm switching from Pop Century to All STar Sports due to the deal that came out yesterday only being available at All Star Sports. Does it make a difference? I guess I should just contact those before and after me.

Can someone remind me what the default, home base is for this stroller?

I think it is All Star Movies. Just talk to the person before you and after you to work something out that works for you all!

Hi,
I am at POP from 11/10-11/24 and noticed you had 11/17-11/20 open. Is it still possible to get those open dates?
Thanks,
Crystal

Hi, we just got back an hour ago from our trip (it was great) and I wanted to give a quick stroller status report from the field, so to speak...

First off, stroller works perfectly, beautifully. I expected it to be a bit beaten down, but aside from a few stains on the seats (looks like they were wiped out best they could be, not "nasty" at all, lol), the thing works perfectly. Orange made it easy to spot, as others have said. It held my kiddos, 3 & just turned 7, just fine (I put the bigger kid nearest me, I found that physics-wise it was easier for me to manoeuver the stroller that way). It folds like a dream--pull the two red finger hooks below the handles, collapse it, then hook the latch--and you can fold it up with stuff in the basket below (HUGE for us in getting on/off busses). Drink holder/caddy sleeve up on the handles was handy.

As far as the passing it off and picking it up, I was lucky that the previous stroller borrower dropped it off at CBR for me, thank you, Becky!!!!! I also dropped it off at the next borrower's hotel--it was off Disney and the only downsides to this were the $32 cab ride (the driver charged me $16 each way for the no-more-than-10-min-drive, but I had to do it as I had to get back in time for Magical Express); the other downside was the bell hop at the hotel where I dropped it was less than enthused (and a little surly, truth be told), but he checked it in and gave me the claim check, should be no problems tomorrow when the next borrower picks it up.

Just wanted to add that the borrower before me, Becky, texted me the claim check number (emailed me? PM'd me? can't remember, I just got back, but you get my drift). That was a great idea, don't know if that's what everyone's been doing or not, but brilliant, I did the same thing, hope it helps the next borrower as much as it helped us.

Ok, I know we were wondering about the stroller's condition (and even it's existence for awhile, lol), so I hope that helped. I'll upload a pic of my kiddos in it when I get a chance.
