Traveling with young children is always more delicate, and when we are going to another country/state to visit several giant and super busy parks like Orlando’s parks, if the organization is not well done it can end up becoming a headache.

We have already given several tips here on the blog focused for those who will travel to Orlando with small children and today we will focus on the rental of strollers, which is a key item for a more peaceful trip, both for you and for the little ones.

On each park day it is estimated that the visitor will walk about 10 kilometers, if for an adult it is already a considerable distance, for children it is much more exhausting Most children also like to take a nap after meals and for this strollers are perfect, allowing the child to be comfortable resting while the parents stroll through the parks. It is recommended to rent strollers for children up to 8 years old at least, as the day trip in Orlando is really tiring.

Take with you, buy or rent?

That is the main question, what is the best option? Take the stroller from your home, buy it in a supermarket like Walmart, rent it directly in the parks or rent it from a specialized company?

We will help you to score all the options. Some airlines allow you to take the stroller from your place if the child is up to 2 years old, in which case the stroller is dispatched as if it were a suitcase. The bad side is the return of the trip, because you stop shipping a suitcase full of purchases because you are shipping the stroller. So it’s worth pointing out if you intend to do a lot of shopping on the trip, or if you are willing to pay for the shipping of an extra bag. Remembering that this type of stroller dispatch is very punctual for each airline and it will be necessary to check with your company how the procedure is carried out.

The option to buy a stroller in Orlando also has its pros and cons, in stores like Walmart you can find strollers starting at $25, they are called umbrella stroller, very simple and uncomfortable strollers that will help a bit, but do not offer comfort for the child or the parents. More comfortable strollers are also found in these stores, but the prices are higher. If you choose to buy a stroller and use it during your travel days, you can drop it off at your hotel when you return to your home, this practice is quite common among tourists.

Renting strollers directly in the parks seems to be the easiest and most practical option when thinking about renting strollers during a trip in Orlando, however the values can be a little high for the quality offered.

The rental of the strollers in the parks is done daily and you can rent directly in the park that you will visit that day. There are few options for strollers and all are a little uncomfortable for children and parents to carry.

The option we recommend for families coming to Orlando with young children is to rent the strollers directly from specialized companies. In this way you can rent by season, for example for 5 days which is the period you will be in the city. These companies do a great job, deliver to the hotel or home you are in and have the most comfortable strollers for the little ones. Some you can pay directly from where you are and others you hire when you arrive in Orlando.
