What Not To Do With A Stroller
Vacation time is drawing near. You’ve got small children who need to ride in a stroller and you’re wondering what you’re going to do about stroller rentals in Orlando or just strollers full stop. Should you take your own or should you get a rental stroller?
Should you hire a stroller from one of the theme parks (and Orlando has lots to choose from) or go for an independent stroller rental company?
And what should you look out for in the way of accessories for your stroller if you’re renting one – if you get accessories at all? Well, here’s some very common mistakes and what not to do when it comes to organizing strollers for your vacation in Orlando.
Mistake #1: Taking your own stroller. The biggest mistake that many parents of small children make is that they try to take their own stroller with them. Sure, you’re familiar with how your own stroller works and all the stains and splodges are familiar.
But strollers take up heaps of room and they’re a real fiddle for airport security if you take them in with you and they’re still a hassle if you check it in, as a stroller can easily put you over weight limits.
It is far, far easier to leave your own stroller at home and hire one at the other end of the journey. That’s one reason why stroller rentals in Orlando are so popular: they make things a lot easier for parents of small children.
Mistake #2: Getting theme park strollers. While it may seem sensible to find stroller rentals in Orlando that are provided by the theme parks (e.g. Walt Disney or Universal Studios), there’s one snag that a lot of parents haven’t thought about.
The strollers that you rent from these places can only be used within that particular theme park. So if you want to go somewhere else – another theme park, a walk around the block near your motel/hotel room, around some of Orlando’s fantastic shops – you can’t take the stroller with you.
You could try renting a stroller from each theme park you visit, but this is a real hassle (not to mention expensive) and still leaves you in a pickle when it comes to going shopping, etc. It’s much better to get stroller rentals in Orlando from an independent company.
Mistake #3: Booking the wrong sort of stroller. You might find stroller rentals in Orlando that are cheaper than Baby Wheels Orlando that have strollers that aren’t as good.
Perhaps the strollers are lighter weight and look as though they would be easy to fold and manipulate – something along the lines of an old-fashioned stroller. But this is a bad mistake. A stroller needs to have good brakes, a good restraint system and a generous hood.
The weather in Orlando can take many people unawares, so don’t underestimate the importance of that hood – you’ll need it to protect the smaller members of your family who ride in that stroller from the strong sunshine and possibly from one of Orlando’s tropical showers as well.
Oh yes – it goes without saying that if you have twins or two children who are close in age, it’s better to book a double stroller than two separate strollers!
