There are so many rental strollers out there — so it can help to prioritize your wants and needs for your vacation. The following is just a short list of practical points you want to keep in mind:
- Safety features: Make sure that the strollers have safety features such as brakes, a five-point safety harness, and a wide base to prevent the stroller from tipping over! Referring to the strollers’ height and weight limits per seat, it’s important to know how your child’s weight may compromise the stroller frame and impede its performance for future guests.
- Foldability: Many parents look for strollers with a “one-handed” fold. This can make it so much easier to get on and off the shuttles, trams, and monorail. As well as store your stroller in your hotel room or the trunk of your vehicle.
- Wheel quality: Plan on walking up to 8 to 10 miles a day — opt for air-filled or rubberized foam-filled wheels that are at least 8 Inches or larger. These will help tremendously to maneuver through the crowds and over different terrains of each land.
- Washable fabric: It’s inevitable that the days’ messiness will overflow onto the stroller. Whether it’s a leaky diaper, drool, snacks, drinks, or dirt — being able to toss the fabric of most of our stroller fleet in the wash is a real lifesaver to make sure the stroller is clean for your little ones. If the fabric isn’t removable, we thoroughly spray the fabrics, baskets, and frame with detergent and Simple Green D Pro 5, powerwash the stroller and dry in the sun.
- Stroller basket storage: Think about how many items you may need throughout the day. This could be your baby’s gear or items you pick up while out around the parks. Looking at the accessibility, you will want to go for the wider opening that will make it easier to store and remove things more easily.
- Sun canopy: A sun canopy for your children is a must in the parks since they will be exposed to lots of sun, rain, or other elements. A sun canopy can provide a safe, comfortable place for them to enjoy the ride.
- Occupant restrictions: Adhering to the manufacturer’s weight and height restrictions is important, not only does it ensure that your child is safe but not uncomfortable. Shallow seats, short leg room of canopy interference with their height.
