Versatility: Children’s needs change throughout the years that they need to ride in a stroller.

Their needs can even change over the course of a day.

We looked for strollers that permitted this versatility – the back can lie flat for a sleeping child or an infant, and it can go upright for an alert and awake child

who wants to get a good look at Cinderella and all the other attractions of Disney World (or wherever you’re going in or around Orlando). And the harness has to be adjustable, too.

Not too big; not too small. A stroller, even a double stroller, has to be big enough to fit the child riding in it (or the two children) but it shouldn’t be so big that it’s a pain to push and even worse to get through doors.

One thing we loved about the Baby Jogger City Mini double stroller is that it is able to get through an average doorway without you bashing your knuckles or having to fold up the stroller. We’re sure that you’ll love this feature, too.

We did see one type of double stroller that had a double-decker construction, but we rejected this in favour of the side-by-side style of the City Mini – both kids probably want to see what’s going on.

A big hood: Here in Orlando, we’re practically in the tropics, which means that any stroller we have available has to have a big hood to

keep off the strong Florida sunshine and also to give Junior a bit of shelter if a rain shower blows up from the sea and head our way. In the double version, the hoods are independent, so you can adjust them as needed for the kids the separate seats .

Luggage space: If you’re going to the effort of pushing a stroller around a theme park or around town, then you’ve got enough of a workout on your hands.

You don’t want to have to lump a whole lot of stuff in big bag on your back. This is why we’ve chosen strollers with a good, generous bit of luggage space placed strategically underneath the stroller, which also helps to lower the stroller’s centre of gravity so it is even less likely to tip.

Accessories: We have been careful to choose a style of stroller that has a lot of optional accessories available. The accessories that you can get – at no extra charge, incidentally – with the City Mini (double or single)

include a rain shield, a chiller pack for the luggage compartment (a real must for keeping drinks and snacks cool in the hotter Florida weather)

and a parent console pack that includes a cup holder so you can stay hydrated during all that hard work of pushing a stroller around the place.

You can also get a glider board that provides a handy place for an older sibling to rest at strategic moments (there’s more about this in another article).

Oh yes – the strollers we picked out for our fleet of Orlando stroller rentals had to look good, too. We’re professionals and we want our equipment to look smart!
