What stroller to bring for 9 month, 3 & 5 yr olds?

[mbarnett808]

We will be at WDW in July with our (then) 9 month old, + our 3 & 5 year old kids. Do I need just a double stroller? If so, what kind? Double umbrella, double jogger, etc? Or should I look into a triple, like the triple sit & stand?

Obviously the baby will need a stroller. And I'm thinking that my 2 older will wimp out on us often, so that's why I'm leaning towards looking into getting a triple sit & stand. Plus whatever one of the older kids does, the other copies, so I'm thinking they won't want to share the one seat that the baby isn't in! I want something that is relatively easy to transport on Disney buses, at the airport, not too heavy & not hard to fold.

We've heard that the WDW rental strollers aren't appropriate for infants because of the large size. I've also seen the stroller swaps, but the logistics of getting the stroller from someone else, then getting it to someone else doesn't really appeal to me. And Orlando stroller rental sounds okay, but for the price of renting a double or triple, I'd rather just find a used one here at home for just a little bit more & at least get to keep it/resell it later.

If you've been to WDW w/ 3 kiddies under 6 & used a stroller, what kind do you recommend?

I don't have 3 kids but I do have A LOT of strollers. We have taken all sorts of them down for our 2 kidlets. I've seen the triple sit n stands and those things look cumbersome. I can't fathom them folding easily for buses, etc and keeping track of 3 kids. I guess it depends on what you're willing to invest.

If it were me I'd get a Valco Tri Mode or Baby Jogger Double with toddler seat that way every one has a seat and you could get it thru the crowds etc. It has 2 fully reclining seats and the 2 older children can swap in and out of the toddler seat as needed.

If you don't want to spend very much I'd get a Mac Triumph for the 5 year old and a good tandem double. That way you can fold up the Mac and put it in the basket of the double if the 5 year old wanted to walk. I'm not a fan of umbrella doubles, they don't feel as easy to push and the sun coverage isn't as good as I'd like.

We've had the best luck for WDW with our Phil & Teds w/doubles kit for our 2 boys. The main seat holds a child up to 55lbs.

Do a double that all could ride in, and you will use again.

We generally wear the baby, minus a few moments, and push the middle two

We love our Phil and Ted Vibe, and our Valco, (which give you 3 seats)...

We use the Phil and Ted because it is as narrow, (or narrower), than a single, and makes it sooooo easy to get around WDW

We have kids age 6,3 and2. We have a Baby trend Sit and stand deluxe model that is a double stroller with two regular seats and also the stand area. You can push all three kids on the stroller at one time with two sitting and one standing. We have not been to Disney yet are but are local for Busch Gardens Williamsburg and use it there all the time. I think you should be able to do this with most sit and stand strollers.http://www.strollerdepot.com/items/baby-trend-sit-n-stand-plus/ This is the strolle that we have and it is easy to fold and not to heavy for the size. When we have all three kids riding we do not use the rear canopy.

I am traveling in about a week and half with a 6, 3 and 8 month old.

I rented the double city mini jogging stroller from orlando strollers.

I also have a sling and a beco butterfly II I plan on hauling the baby around in. But he will be in the stroller at times with my 6 year old walking.

It was $90 for the week.
