Which stroller/carrier/system would you use with a small baby at WDW?

When the weather is hot, of course. We also have two toddlers - one who will not be able to walk pretty much at all, and the other who can walk, but whose feet will get tired occasionally and will need to ride or rest.

Bugaboo Chameleon - with the pram on it so the baby can lie down (and a lightweight stroller for the toddlers - depending on who is tired - to rest):

A travel system that works with the baby's carseat so that you can have almost total shade coverage and the baby will be in the carrier for dining purposes (and the lightweight umbrella for the toddlers - depending on who is tired)

lightweight side by side suitable for birth and up - skip the carseat and get an extra-long shade to cover the baby for both the baby and whichever toddler needs to rest their legs.

Triple Jogger for all three

I dont like joggers because they are too hard to get through crowds and with the weight of 3 kids, it would be even tougher.

That first one, I'd never take to WDW because of the expense. I want oe I wont miss if it gets lost or damaged.

How little is the baby? really little? I'd probably get the baby trend frame for the carseat, because its small and lightweight and you can easily grab the seat out of it for dining. If the baby can sit, then *I'd bring a regular one that reclines and has cup holders and a big basket underneath.

The double side by side is good for the toddlers. Make sure it reclines a bit because both will probably sleep in it.

I'd bring the double for the toddlers and the carseat/frame for the baby.
 
We went last year when our youngest was 5months and our oldest was 4yo. I used the Baby Trend Sit'nStand. It was great. It has a place to snap in the car seat and a bench for the toddles to rest or a place for him to stand and ride along. The bench isn't great for naps but with young kids I am sure you will be napping at some point in the day. We love it and use it all the time. Since you will be travelling with two toddlers, you could always bring an umbrella stroller for the third child.
 
Yes - tiny, tiny :)

We had a sit stand and didn't care for it. It just didn't work for our family's needs. I considered the Joovy one, but I think we'd have the exact same problems with that.

I'm trying to somehow get it condensed to one double or two single strollers, tops - but I'm not sure if it's posssible with our crew ;)
 

I'd get a double and a single. We just came back and have 3 small ones. I would skip the carseat stroller because those seats are so hot and constricitve. If the baby is small then lay him/her down in a regular stroller and get a big sunshade. Also I would get the stroller fans. They are a must have. When the baby would sleep (or a toddler!) we would take a light receiving blanket and clothepins and tent it over the front of the stroller so they would be in complete shade and put a fan on them. It made it much more comfortable for them. It works great for us. We have a side by side and a Mac single. Hope this helps. princess:
 
I'm not sure how old your children are, but we were just there in Feb and my girls are 4,3 and the baby was about 9 weeks old at the time. We brough our Maclaren double and for the baby we had her infant seat and the Graco snap and go stroller thingy. I just feel that the kids are more comfortable in their own strollers and for the baby having the car seat is so much easier for getting on the buses or going to eat(especially when they are sleeping)
For the infant seat(yes they do get hot in there) you could line the bottom with a small whilte towel and you could also cover the top with a white towel(if you have a dark colored carrier).
 
Great points. The carrier we have is light in color, so it wouldn't be as hot as shown in the picture - but I do worry about the heat. And like your baby, she would be very small. Maybe we will take the mac.
 
We are taking our sit and stand for 2 of our children and we just purchased a combi stroller for the third. It is only 11lbs and folds like an umbrella with a carrying strap. Great for disney buses. They even make it as a travel system with the car seat.
Wish I had a new sit and stand they really seemed to make improvements.
You could probably purcase both for the price of some of those.
