Another Disney Question - Which Stroller??

I can only take one stroller with us. I have an infant carrier with the snap N go or the baby jogger?

I think the infant carrier would be better for naps for LO, but it doesnt give him a very good "view of the world"

The Baby jogger is great for him to sit up and see everything, but it doesnt recline very far.

The snap and go has cup holders and a larger basket then the jogger....

The Jogger has better sun protection then the carrier...

Hes not sitting on his own yet, so this will be a challenge for meal time...

AHHHH! Opinions please!

If you don't bring the carrier and the snap n go - what will you use for a carseat? Will you have one here?

We could still bring the infant car seat - or we could put the convertable car seat in the car. We are driving so the carseat doesnt really matter because they both take the same amount of room. I can really only fit one of the strollers though.

oh okay - if he's the kind of baby that likes to watch the world go by I might lean towards the jogger. Is he a baby that can pretty much nap anywhere that the recline wouldn't be a factor?

They're all different - my daughter would just pass out in a stroller if she was tired - my son is completely different and needs to this day, to be reclined or in bed to sleep well.

Wow, you listed plenty of pros for both, it's hard to say based on what you added. My advice?

Go for the one that folds the fastest and easiest.

I remember us parking waaaaaaaaaay out and taking our double stroller that doesn't fold up. It is wide across (it's actually a bicycle trailer that turns in to a stroller) It has great room, the kids were comfortable, but they wouldn't let that stroller on the parking lot tram and didn't want us to get on the monorail with it either.

You have to fold strollers to get on the parking tram. My advice on that is not to pack the stroller with baby necessaries until you are in the park and off all the transport systems. There is nothing worse than packing onto the stroller at your car, walking to the tram, unloading the stroller to get it on the tram, repacking the stroller with baby and items, and then unpacking it (again!) to get on the monorail. Trust me, this mom has, been-there-done-that!

I have been forced to fold my stroller every time for the parking tram, but I have gotten away half the time on just wheeling it into the monorail, it depends on how crowded it is. This was with my jogging stroller.

I think I tend to lean towards you taking the jogger to let him see the world. After all, he can't miss his first Disney trip. :) Could you use rolled towels or blankets to support him on the sides, or does it not recline at all?

My opinion, which is what we did...use the infant carrier. If you have a sling or strap-in baby carier use that for him to see the world. We carried ours alot, better for pics with the baby, instead of getting him in and out. Remember the hat and sunscreen. My poor little guy is so fair I lathered and still lather him up every 2-3 hours.

I vote for the infant carrier+snap 'n' go stroller... and if you have a Baby Bjorn (or similar carrier), by all means bring it! Your baby can ride with you in it on any rides that don't have a height requirement!

... and definitely heed Shawn's advice on not loading everything in the stroller until you are ready to head into the gate. You always have to collapse strollers to get on the tram (though the walk isn't that bad sometimes), occasionally on the monorail, and then you have to unpack everything again going through security, because each bag you bring will be opened and inspected. It's a pain, but if you are prepared, it lessens the sting!
