Best Strollers for Disney World (including double strollers)

In general, I really like this stroller and recommend it.

Pros:

1. It’s the size of a back pack. It takes almost no space in the trunk.
2. Super light- I’m very petite- and lifting this thing is no problem
3. It’s so small, it’s easy to maneuver when going through a restaurant or store with small aisle
4. It’s beautiful and very classy looking. The material is very nice
5. It goes over rough surfaces very well, even better than my full sized Graco stroller
6. My 3.5 month old can easily fall asleep in this.
7. It’s small enough that we can push it up to a table at a restaurant without needing those bulky car seat carrier

Cons:

1. It’s hard to open with 1 hand so if you’re holding your baby, and the was open click-in mechanism fails, you will need both hands to open the stroller
2. The crotch strap has a padded holder. The buckle tends to fall deep into the padded holder and you have to fish for it. Not a big deal except my child is a ninja and was able to slide down and out the seat before I could fish it out
3. Don’t hang a diaper bag, it will flip the stroller. But it has a small basket so just put everything in there
4. The covering bag covers half the stroller (wheel side. So removing it requires both hands as well because the covering gets caught in the wheels.
5. Back side is not adjustable so it doesn’t lay back.

This stroller is perfect, it is fairly compact and easy to maneuver yet does not compromise on any features. We have been through a few strollers, and when our 2015 Uppababy Cruz was stolen, we researched again all the strollers on the market, and decided it was still absolutely the best stroller on the market for us.

Features we LOVE:

• Stroller easily fits through doors, swivels and handles well, and is easy to fold and pick up. It takes up just over half of our SUV trunk, so I can still fit a few bags of groceries in the back with ease.
• Basket fits a stroller bag, my full size handbag, and a picnic blanket easily.
• Every part of the stroller feels like it is good quality, and we have not had any maintenance issues in the last year of using it (2015 & 2017 models)
• Baby loves the seat! It is comfortable, and easy to put her in and out.
• Sunshade has great coverage
• The price seems great for the quality you are getting. It is much higher quality and with better features than the strollers in the $300-$400 range
• If you are tall, it is easy to walk and you won't kick the stroller if you have a large stride. This was my #1 complaint with most other strollers
• You CAN use this stroller with two children if you buy the standing board. I think this will be great for shorter trips around the neighborhood.

I think this stroller is more appropriate for most families than the Vista. The Vista is considerably larger, but doesn't have many additional features for 1 baby. Obviously, if you have two, you would need the Vista, but the Cruz is ideal for 1 baby. Personally, I am not convinced that 2 babies would like the seating configuration of the Vista, we will probably move to a side-by-side double stroller when we need to, but continue to use the Cruz for shorter trips where our older child can ride the standing board, OR put the younger baby in a baby carrier.

Comparison with the 2015 model:

• Honestly, it doesn't seem that different
• The wheels are new. They are now polyurethane, which makes them lighter and more durable
• The sun shade is now woven fabric, doesn't seem that different to me
• The inner sunshade now 'locks' in place, doesn't seem that different to me

Accessories we like:

• 2 hooks on the sides of the handle bar for bags
• SkipHop Stroller Organizer
• Don't bother paying for the Uppababy Cup Holder, it wasn't great.

I am SO HAPPY I bought this stroller again, I wouldn't have it any other way, no matter what my budget was! It's PERFECT!

My sister and I were both in the market for a new stroller. After lots of research, we both narrowed it down to two finalists- this stroller (2016 baby jogger City Mini single) and the Graco Aire3 Click Connect. She ended up purchasing the Graco, and I purchased the City Mini.

Since we couldn't find any great comparisons of the two strollers online, I decided to write one.

We each brought our strollers to Disneyland for a week and pushed around a 3 and 5 year old.

Both of the strollers fold the same way (so easy- one of the best features), push like a dream and maneuver very well, have big sunshades and the seats lay *almost* flat. We tested them side by side and they do lay back the exact same amount.

CITY MINI:

• Rubber handlebar (feels better IMO)
• Taller handlebar (perfect for me, I'm 5'11")
• No mesh in the sunshade which makes for less airflow, but more sun protection (I thought the airflow would be a big deal, but it really wasn't. Even in 90 degree weather. The extra shade was nice.)
• Smaller basket underneath (annoying)
• No parent or child cup holders included (very annoying), but it does have a mesh bag on the back which is useful
• Seat is deeper, which is nice for bigger kids
• Doesn't stand well when folded

-

• Pushes a little bit smoother
• Has a little indent where kids can rest their feet. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
• Seems to be a little better quality
• Seat has mesh back when folded back. great for airflow, since the sunshade doesn't have any (see picture)

 

Graco Aire3:

• Bigger tires
• Foam handlebar
• Slightly shorter handlebar (but still comfortable for a 5' 11" woman)
• Bigger basket
• Seat folds up to make a bassinet for a newborn (fun feature)
• Comes with parent console and child cup holder (the child one is somewhat useless so we just took it off for easier in and out)
• Sun shade has mesh area for more airflow which is nice, but the sun does shine through it sometimes which can be annoying
• Stands up nicely when folded
• Doesn't have a place for older children to rest their feet
• The seat is more shallow (fine for babies and young toddlers, annoying for bigger kids)

Overall, the Aire3 is a better value for the price. Especially since you don't have to buy the parent consoles or car seat adapter separately. Graco found all of the features that were missing from the City Mini and added them to their stroller. It was very thoughtfully designed.

However, I don't regret my purchase at all, especially after pushing it for a week at Disney. It really does push like a dream, even one handed!

I will add that both of the kids preferred riding in the City Mini, but they said that was because it was blue. I think the deeper seat and little footrest might have added to that. But who knows.

Bottom line is that the Aire3 is definitely a better value for the price, but you really can't go wrong with either stroller.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, the baby jogger glider board does work with the City Mini (your child just has to stick their head through the handlebar, which my daughter doesn't mind), but does NOT work with the Aire3.

The handlebar is made of rubber. I’m not sure who this appeals too, because especially in the summer and down in Florida, the warmth plus rubber is such a gross, sticky feeling. My hands feel dirty every time I’m done pushing it. And speaking of a dirty handlebar...

I will start by saying this is a great product. The price is a bargain for the good you'll get, particularly if you're a heavy traveller. However, the price also means that after a few months of really heavy constant use, you might need another. The second one will be just as worth it (after all, you could pay more for only one stroller with fewer great features). Our kid is now 3, and we've bought two.

We are heavy airplane travellers (about 10-20 flights per year) and we have used this stroller on just about every one of those trips. We bought one, and after about a year of abuse by airline baggage people the closing fastener broke and one wheel was a bit squeaky, so we bought another one. Note that we bought the exact same stroller, because it has so many great features.

Great things:
- Full recline allows for easy naps. I recommend bringing a soft blanket or a small pillow to pad child's head (see photo; if they lean their head over it will find only a bar rather than something soft).
- The wheels are doubled and durable. They held up to desert goats heads and both extreme hot (110F) and cold (0F) climates.
- We bought one when our kid was 1, and another when our kid was 2. He's now 3 and it still works. He's tall for his age (90th percentile).
- Its one of the most light-weight strollers on the market. There's a strong and easy handle to pick it up when it's folded. The handle has indents for fingers; very comfortable to hold the stroller with one hand and carry it down a jetbridge.
- Fits through security screens, and with some ease you can carry it, a toddler, and a carry-on in your hands all at once.
- It has a foot rest, rather than letting feet dangle.
- Its navigation is relatively straight on its own, so I have in the past been able to push kiddo with one hand and pull a large checked wheelie bag with the other at the same time.
- The hand-pads are soft and comfortable for the push-er.
- The sun shade can be pushed down to shield the child almost completely from the sun, like a little yellow cave, although this does make the back cloth flap hang weirdly. We often push the sun shade down and flip the back flap over the top for ventilation.
- There's netting underneath to hold stuff. The netting has a lot of space but getting stuff in there can be tight if you have one big item; it won't hold a chock-full backpack. It *would* hold a few large books, a few stuffed animals/blankets, and a typical purse plus a water bottle.
- The straps are easy to adjust and fasten.
- The brakes simple to turn on/off with one foot.
- The crotch strap has padding all around; you can fasten the straps and then pull a big, soft, extra pad flap over it. Our son always complains about crotch straps, but doesn't complain for this stroller.
- The color is beautiful and cheerful (we got yellow). Great for boys or girls.
- Easy operation with a toddler. You can close it with one hand+one foot (generally; of course it's easier with two). To close it you need to push a lever down with your foot (about 10-12 inches off the ground), then pull a handle with your hand. It will generally snap into place but occasionally requires one more push or step to snap it closed.
- Has a nice "snacks" pouch in the back stroller flap that lies behind child's seat, to put munches, a book, or your boarding pass in.
- The stroller functions both as a backpack holder and a stroller; so long as your kid weighs almost as much as your carry-ons, we usually walk around with the carry-ons strung over the handle bars.

Bad things (completely outweighed by the good IMO):
- There are no covers on the wheels, so mischievous toddlers might drag their feet on them and make it harder to push.
- If you hang too many really heavy bags on the handlebars, the stroller can fall backwards. This can be easily solved by, well, not hanging really heavy bags on the handlebars.

For real bad things:
- Cup holder is useless. It's too skinny for a normal-sized water bottle, though it fits a coffee cup. However, if you put a coffee cup in there your toddler will sense that you've done so, beeline for the stroller, and pull the whole stroller down, spilling coffee all over the floor and will attract judgemental onlookers who have never had kids. Both your toddler and the judgers will come like moths to the flame. Incidentally, there's an insignia on the cupholder that seems to imply not to put hot drinks in there (I agree, in principle).

This stroller is great for anyone looking for the perfect travel stroller, even if it's just for one flight ---- the price is low, and the product is great.

I LOVE this stroller. My daughters are 14 months apart. I have the Britax stroller and was expecting to buy the double stroller until I found out they discontinued the infant car seat adapter. The stroller is easy to push with both hands and manageable with one. I had to hold my 2 month old while pushing my 15 month old and I managed ok.

Cons:
It is heavy to load in the car.
When you fold it down, it collapses fast and hard but once you get the rhythm you can control it.
The sun shade is one big one instead of two.
Recommended for 3 months and up. (I used it with a snuggler though and my baby was fine in the seat reclined all the way back. I also adjusted the leg recliner up.)
Heavy to lift over curbs and bumps unless you place foot on wheel.

Pros:
Great price! Especially when you need to budget because second baby was a surprise.
Huge basket for baby bags, toys, etc.
Material is nice.
Straps have thick padding.
Cute pockets and mesh behind seats.

There are cons but as I mentioned, for the price it is great.

This is the stroller I settled on when looking for a jogging stroller to accommodate my 2.5 year old and 4.5 year old for runs when I don't have childcare available. I looked at several models and narrowed it down to this stroller and the Bob FLEX Duallie. I'll admit to being a bit in favor of Baby Jogger products since we own and love our City Select, but I tried to be fair when making my choice.

Positives:
- the canopies are some of the best I've seen on any stroller, especially a jogger -- sturdy, pull very far forward, windows, smooth movement when opening/closing (in contrast to the Bob canopies, which feel cheap sadly)
- center support bar between the seats -- this is something you may not notice at first but when you are dealing with a child on the upper end of the height/weight, the lack of center support in the Bob can cause the seats to sag toward each other.
- one step fold -- similar to the City Select, it takes one step to fold. Boom.
- fits in my trunk easily (Nissan Rogue)
- handle bar is NOT FOAM -- gah, I hate foam handle bars on strollers. Especially for sweaty hands. It degrades and comes off over time, kids pick at it, just not my favorite. This is a nice rubbery material.
- hand break -- Bob doesn't have one on the FLEX (it does come on the pro I think). We have lots of hills on the multi-use paths we use, so this was a big plus for me.
- solid build -- it feels quality when you fold and unfold, push, lift, etc.
- sizable storage basket -- typically I access it from the sides. I can fit my bag or backpack, two small cooler bags, two kids towels, and a few more odds and ends at the zoo. Plenty of room.
- deeper seat -- this is not something most people notice or think of, but the seat is deeper than the Bob FLEX (from knees to bum) -- my older son found this far, far more comfortable than the Bob because in the Bob he was practically sliding out of the seat due to the depth being shorter.
- can use a single stroller parent console instead of specialized double console -- I was able to use the single console from our City Select because of the center bar -- it doesn't need to reach all the way across the double width.
- easy recline -- my kids are old enough that we don't use this feature much, but the recline is easy to use one handed and goes nearly flat.
- front wheel swivels or locks straight -- you can even lock it straight while moving with the lever on the side, instead of stopping and going around to the wheel, but this does take some practice

Negatives:
- foot break -- works well, and I have no issue with it due to wearing running shoes when I use this stroller, but it isn't as smooth/easy as the Bob. I know it would be hard to take the break off in flip flops.
- belly bar and snack trays -- we are likely choosing to forgo these because you have to remove the entire bar to get children in and out of the stroller, instead of moving it to the side like on the City Select. Plus, you have to buy the bar AND the trays separately, adding quite a bit to the cost.
- canopy does not adjust upwards for taller children -- I was used to this feature on the City Select and a bit sad that it wasn't possible on this stroller.
- air filled tires -- while its likely these are "better" for a jogging stroller, the foam filled tires that never need filling on my City Select spoiled me. I'll have to keep an eye on these tires to make sure they stay full.

Other thoughts:
- weight -- Its a double jogger. Its going to be heavy. Personally, I don't think its that heavy at all but I have a friend who thought it was. Its a bit more than the Bob FLEX Duallie, but in pushing both I didn't notice.
- non-adjustable handle bar -- this doesn't affect me because I'm a pretty average height, but a consideration if you are shorter or taller
- "taller" than the Bob FLEX Duallie -- I'm not sure how to explain this, but the stroller is a bit more upright, whereas the Bob sits lower. This is NOT a problem for me, but some seem to have issues with it tipping backwards. We have not experienced this even with both boys reclined, but something to note. I personally like the way it sits, but I thought I would mention it. The only issue we have with it being a bit taller is that it is hard for my 2.5 year old to get in and out of on his own, but he is short for his age.

To Note: My 4.5 year old is 39 lbs and about 43" tall and fits with a bit of room -- aka, his head slight brushes the top of the canopy when closed when he is sitting perfectly upright, but since he usually slouches down, its not an issue. His head actually seemed a bit more squished in the Bob. My younger son is 2.5 years and 26 lbs, 35" tall. Obviously he fits with plenty of room. There have not been any footwell kicking incidents yet, fortunately 🙂

Overall, after trying out both the Bob FLEX Duallie and the Baby Jogger 2016 Summit x3 Double, the Summit was a better fit for my needs.

UPDATE: I just got back from a 2 week vacation in a very hot place.

First, I got complimented on how easily it maneuvered through the airport with one hand and it's amazing one handed fold. The stroller was used on all types of terrain: street, grass, sandy beach. The fabric wipes clean easily for most stains. My 20 month old would climb in it easily on his own and loved sitting in it.

We used it multiple times a day on long walks. The vents were perfect to help him stay cool. There is a hidden pocket in the back where it opens to vent which was very convenient. The basket underneath fit a lot of fairly heavy stuff.

Overall, this was the best money spent! I have told numerous people about it. Such a fabulous stroller!!!!! Although the XLT didn't fit in the overhead, it was easily checked at the gate. My biggest mistake was not purchasing the travel bag for it! I will be buying it for my next trip for sure! Thank you Zoe company!!!!!

I just received this stroller a few hours ago and I am in LOVE with it! I ordered the XLT in aqua for $99. I was probably one of their most nightmare customers because I contacted them multiple times to ask silly questions!

So, here it goes... (as a side note, I own a bugaboo cameleon 3 which I've used with both kids for 4 years)...

My criteria: I wanted lightweight, VERY easy fold, good recline, good size canopy, durable...

First, I purchased the qbit+ for $300. It was the stroller I dreamed of before I was even pregnant with my 2nd. I was very disappointed in the quality of the fabric and felt that it looked cheap for the money spent. I absolutely LOVED the way it folded and how little room it took up. Both the recline and canopy were nothing to write home about.

Second, I purchased the yoyo+ for $500. I couldn't justify the price and simply I wasn't impressed. The fold was a 2 step process and although it fits into overhead bins, I wanted something else for our upcoming trip...

My 3rd and final purchase was the Zoe... I wish I saved myself the headache and got this one first! BEST $100 spent!!!!!! I will attach photos to help others in the process... I chose the XLT because it seemed it had the best recline vs the XL1 and of course the price was the deciding factor. I literally YouTube'd and Instagram'd for hours after purchasing trying to figure out if it was a mistake (because I became like Goldilocks and her 3 bears).

Then, I realized Amazon gave me a delivery date past my travel day... I freaked out yet again and sent another email to them... rest assured you will get the stroller by Tuesday at the latest they said. It arrived today, 2 days after I placed the order!!!!!! 5* service right there!

The stroller is light, I didn't attach the 3 cup holders or the belly bar. My 4 year old and my 20 month old both sat in it and looked comfortable. At full recline and feet up it's basically flat (see photo). There are 2 mesh vent windows which will be perfect for hot climates. The ride is smooth and my 4 year old easily pushed it herself.

Basket size is pretty amazing! I put my laptop for reference to show how big it is and I imagine it will hold quite a lot.

Canopy is awesome!!!! I'm not sure if the fabric has SPF but at least naps under the sun won't be an issue!

The fold couldn't be easier! Pull a handle and it folds right in half. Where has this stroller been the last 4 years? I wish I purchase the $30 stroller bag because I'm going to cringe checking it at the gate, but now it's too late and I won't get it before we leave.

Another thing is the assembly... I'm pretty sure my 4 year old could do it herself. At first the front wheel locks were stuck (so I sent an email) but before they responded I was able to figure out that a little force went a long way and problem solved! Only things that need to be assembled are the wheels, brake, cup holders and belly bar.

Overall, I am VERY happy with this stroller and feel like I couldn't find anything better for the money! I am also happy to give money to a family owned business! Once I travel I can update my review if necessary but for now I am thrilled!

I think that I will use it for everyday after our trip. Frankly, the bugaboo is big, bulky, pain to take apart and takes up half the trunk of a large SUV.

We really like the sit and stand. I know it will be harder to push, our trip last year was just with our then four year old in a umbrella stroller, but it's the best option for us.

This year DD is 5 and DS is 8 months. DD wouldn't nap in the stroller anyway so we didn't really need the double, and I was worried DS would be napping and DD getting in and out would wake him (we tested one at BRU).

If you have heavier kids (both my kids are under 25% weight for their age so it's a bit easier to push) or if your younger one is older it probably wouldn't work as well, the front seat really isn't huge.

But if you have one younger one (probably under 2) and the older one won't nap in strollers then it may work better. For the record DD loves the sit and stand, she doesn't have any issue climbing in and out and thinks the seat is comfortable.

I personally don't like the sit & stand strollers. We had the Graco Grow With Me stroller for awhile. It worked ok when my daughter was still in the infant seat attached to the top seat and my son was 2.5/3 years old in the front seat.

• It is super long, like driving a bus, and really heavy. It would not be fun to fold up and carry into buses or monorails.
• The front seat is really short. My daughter's legs were nearly dragging on the ground by the time she was 18 months.
• You can not recline the front seat for the child to nap without covering the bench seat.
• The bench is awkward to get in and out of because the child has to duck down under the parent tray that is attached to the handle.
• The sun shades are barely big enough to cover their faces.
• The storage basket is also very difficult to get into. You have to pop the bench seat up to access everything.

I have a 3yr old and a 4month old and its perfect! I was a bit worried to purchase a double stroller since most double strollers are bulky and we have a Honda Accord so we needed something to fit comfortably in the car.

I did tons and tons of research and going through so many reviews before my purchase. I saw many people say if you have the older version of the click and connect there wouldn't be much room for your toddler to sit. I tried putting the carseat on the back seat where toddler has a seat and it fit perfectly fine. We won't be using it that way since my toddler is excited to stand but if we were in need to use it that way we will ...

In my opinion this was the best baby purchase i have made for both kids so far. A whole lot easier to travel to the park walking now with the Roomfor2. Worth the purchase!

This fits in the trunk of my Ford Fusion (hence why we bought it). The carseat is a Graco Snugride 30 Click Connect.

Its a great little stroller for the price, and we purchased a Too Seat to go with it. My son is 3.5 years old and 30lbs. To shade the back seat from the sun, we use a receiving blanket wrapped around the bar and secured with clothes pins onto the back of the sunshade.

It doesn't have cup holders, which is a downside, and is not good for festivals (we bought a bigger one, too) but it fits well in our Fusions trunk so that's what we wanted!
