Tips to make the most of Universal Orlando Parks

If you are traveling with young children, renting a stroller will make your visit much more comfortable. Even for older children, the stroller is essential to endure the many kilometers walked during a day of sightseeing.

At StrollerCare, you rent your stroller with safety and comfort from your home through our website. Upon arrival in the city, we deliver it to your preferred location.

Another advantage of renting your stroller in advance with StrollerCare is the guarantee of receiving a sanitized and very comfortable stroller for your children, which is not the case with strollers rented directly in the parks, which do not recline, are rigid, uncomfortable, and, moreover, are more expensive.
