Having a hard time finding the best stroller for Disney, eh? Considering the enormous search volume of this topic, you are certainly not alone.
Before our first trip to Disneyland, I researched and found that most Disney Strollers are not suitable for infants below six months. The next bummer was that rented strollers weren’t allowed at restaurant tables inside the park.
After giving it some thought, I decided to bring my stroller. It is one of the smartest parenting decisions I have made so far.
The strollers for Disney are slightly different from our regular baby strollers. These types of equipment are solely designed for taking a walk in a park. Easy maneuverability, safety, and adequate storage are the three most basic criteria you need to consider while purchasing the best stroller for Disney World.
Not sure where and how to begin your search? Don’t panic. I’ve spent three full days on the web doing the hard part on your behalf.
IN A HURRY? HERE’S OUR TOP PICKS…
9 Best Strollers for Disney 2022
1. UPPAbaby G-LUXE Stroller
- 2017 model G-LUXE Stroller
- New one action brake plus lightweight aluminum frame with robust profile
- Easy open, removable height adjustable canopy and shock-absorbing, 4-wheel suspension
- Easy to remove fabrics and seat pad
- Extendable SPF 50 plus sunshade. Spacious Storage
UPPABbaby G-Luxe is one of the best strollers for Disney park on my checklist. It’s lightweight, comfy, and has plenty of room for your baby as well for goodies like tummy-mats, snacks, bottles, and Disney souvenirs, of course.
But what makes this particular model stand apart from the rest are three things- deep one-hand recline, 5-point harness, and extendable sunshade with SPF 50+.
Let’s face it, a tour of Disney can be tiresome for your little one. He would want to take a nap at some point.
Having a one-hand recline means you can put your baby in a relaxed position in an instant while navigating the crowded lanes of the magic land. The sunshade with SPF 50+ is an added advantage since the weather at Disney during summer and spring can get hot and humid.
I also loved the fully adjustable 5-point harness. For you know, babies grow fast, and it is wise to have a stroller that grows with your baby.
Before I go further, let me tell you that this stroller is meant for children over three months. Despite being lightweight, it can easily carry babies weighing around or slightly over 55 lbs.
The overall design of the stroller is delightfully sturdy, and special praise goes to the robust plastic leg rest. It not only provides a lot of support but also makes hopping in and out of the stroller a breeze for your kid.
Pros:
- Plenty of room for your baby as well as for your bags, bottles, snacks and other goods.
- Side pockets for added storage space.
- Made from easy-to-clean fabric.
- The handle is easy to push, irrespective of the pusher’s height.
- Deep recline makes it perfect for a nap.
- Comes with carry shoulder strap for easy transport.
Cons:
- Needs a better ventilation system, perhaps a peekaboo window or something similar.
2. BOB Revolution Flex Jogging Stroller
- Smooth ride: Suspension system & air filled tires provide an ultra-smooth ride over any terrain
- Perfect fit: Adjustable handlebar creates the perfect fit for parents of all heights; No-rethread harness design for easy height adjustments
- Extra space: 6 storage pockets & extra-large cargo basket provide plenty of room for your gear; Includes a cell phone pocket at the handlebar
- Kid comfort: Ultra-padded compression seat with infinite recline sits fully upright for all-day comfort, and lays near-flat with the push of a button
- Travel system ready: Compatible with most major brand car seats with the use of a BOB infant car seat adapter (sold separately)
First of all, Disneyworld is a huge place, and you will have to go to and fro for hours hop on and off the buses during your trip. Therefore, a jogging stroller with excellent running ability and a robust design like this one would be a far better choice than a regular stroller.
Thanks to its front pivot wheels and easy tracking system, the BOB Flex stroller is convenient for steering both on and off-road. The tracking helps to keep the wheels moving straight, that too without frequent adjustments.
Besides a sturdy and supremely safe construction, BOB Revolution Flex also scores brownie points in the comfort department. Like the previous product, this one also sports a 5-point harness and grows with your baby.
The seats are adequately padded with breathable foam to maximize comfort and prevent sweating. Kudos to the manufacturers for including an extra-large canopy and a peek-a-boo window to maintain proper ventilation and insulation!
A canopy of this size is extremely useful during summertime vacation at Disney. It will shield your baby’s skin against scorching heat, which might cause excessive sweating and even skin rashes.
At the end, the stroller also has nine position adjustable handlebars, so the parent of different heights can easily push this stroller.
Pros:
- Durable material & easy to clean.
- Can be easily folded and stored in the trunk of a car.
- The brake is VERY easy to put on and release.
- Suitable for children from 8 weeks old and up to 75 pounds.
- Comes with a large storage basket so you can carry all of your baby’s necessaries items.
Cons:
- Slightly bulky for a single stroller.
3. Besrey Airplane Stroller
- Hassle-Free Gravity Folding: The gravity quick-folding mechanism makes this lightweight folding stroller super-easy to use for new or experienced parents. Just press and rotate the fold button and the baby stroller will fold itself in just seconds by gravity. The universal wheels make the foldable stroller super easy to maneuver.
- Sturdy and Heavy-duty: Infant Stroller reinforced plastic paired with a durable aluminum frame, this newborn stroller has been tested to withstand 100k different tests and comply with ASTM F833 standard, thus creating a safe and sound riding experience for your baby.
- Shock-Absorbing Wheels: Lightweight stroller's four wheels contain built oilless bearings and shock-absorbing EVA material enables. The lightweight stroller can smooth and stable rolling even on cobble-paved roads.
- Ultimate Comfort: The portable stroller seat pad is made of premium fabric that is skin-friendly yet waterproof, with a full-size Canopy that is waterproof and UV-resistant. The adjustable seatback forms part of an ergonomic seat and can recline from 100° to 150°, together with adjustable leather-covered foot support to give your child of 6-36 months a comfy ride
- Lightweight Compact Stroller for Travel: This small stroller weighs 14.4lbs and has a dimension of 56 inches after being folded, which is compact enough to be carried on a plane. And an airplane stroller comes with a carry bag that is convenient for travel. UPF 50+ canopy for optimal sun protection.
I can safely assume that most of you reading this have to take a flight to reach Disney world (irrespective of which country you live in). Besrey Airplane Stroller, as the name suggests, is perfect for flight travel. Due to the compact size, low weight, and easy folding ability, this stroller is super easy to mount on overhead airplane compartments.
Don’t be fooled by its dainty appearance, though. This buggy is constructed from high-grade aluminum, which is sure to stand the test of time and the adversities of weather. We all know about the finicky weather of Disney, don’t we?
Another super excellent addition is the locking mechanism of the swivel wheels. This makes sure that the stroller doesn’t veer off in the wrong direction when not in use. A feature you will appreciate when you are navigating the thickly crowded park at Disneyworld.
You should bring a lot of water bottles, comfy shoes, and food to Disneyworld when you bring a kid along with you. Thankfully, the stroller has plenty of storage to carry your baby essentials like a diaper bag, snacks, water bottle, baby powder, socks, and other knick-knacks.
Pros:
- Very small in size & easy to maneuver when going through a restaurant or store.
- Sports a large sun canopy but there is no peek thru window.
- Has a wheel locking system.
- Lightweight but durable.
- Easy to fold and unfold.
Cons:
- The only downside is that the back side is not adjustable so it doesn’t lay back.
4. Summer Infant 3D Lite Convenience Stroller
- LIGHTWEIGHT – A lightweight stroller makes any outing a little easier. The Summer 3Dlite Convenience Stroller has a durable aluminum frame that weighs just 13 pounds and has a large seat area, plus anti-shock front wheels and lockable rear wheels.

This stroller has all the best features of the above three models. To begin with, it’s compact and easy to fold, which makes for a perfect travel companion to Disney. For you will have to walk around a lot, travel by car or bus, go to a restaurant and loo during your trip. A compact, easily parkable stroller like this is just going to make your life easier inside the park.
Two, its comfortable features a roomy seat and sufficient cushioning to keep the baby cozy and comfy.
Three, it sports a large basket to store all the knick-knacks during shopping, trekking, and occasional trips to Disney World. But what truly puts this model a notch above the rest is the fully reclinable seat. Once your kid wakes up from his nap, you can adjust the seat into the upright position with one hand.
Pros:
- Waterproof, sturdy construction.
- Has 5 point harness that all comes apart with one button.
- Super easy to carry in flights, navigate crowded spaces and narrow lanes.

5. Kolcraft Cloud Lightweight Umbrella Stroller
- LIGHTWEIGHT – Travel-friendly lightweight design (only 9.5 lbs), perfect for traveling and day trips
- LARGE CANOPY – Extended sun canopy and rear hood provide more sun coverage and UV protection.

- COOL MESH -- Cool-climate roll-up exposes mesh for increased air circulation and creates a headrest.
- ROOMY STORAGE -- Storage basket holds all baby's necessities. Parent cup holder included.
Public complimentary transports such as monorails, boats, and buses are popular tourists attractions at Disney. Besides the fun, they are also very useful for getting from one place to another.
But imagine the horror of carrying a heavy-duty, unmanageable stroller with you on this transport. Kolcraft Cloud Lightweight is specially designed for fuss-free portability easy folding at storage at buses and monorails.
Considering that it offers standing ability when the seat is adjusted to the upright position along with a manual locking system, I can’t help but agree with this statement.
These two particular features also make the stroller extremely easy to handle for parents who travel with their kids in public transport. Another prominent feature of this mobility device is the medium-length sunshade paired with a peek-a-boo window.
The large canopy will provide your baby with complete protection against UV rays and heat during summer and spring. If the temperature and humidity get too high, I would sternly recommend installing a portable stroller fan in the model to ensure optimal comfort of your runt.
The cool, breathable mesh at the back of the seat is another welcome addition during the warm summer. It enhances the air circulation in the stroller, letting your baby enjoy the cool breeze. It also creates a headrest on the seat to prevent your kid’s back from sweating.
The umbrella stroller includes a fairly sizeable storage basket to stock up all your necessities such as water bottles, toys, diaper bags. There’s a parent cup holder, too, where you can store your soda bottle to refresh yourself from time to time.
Pros:
- Lightweight stroller good for travel or a short trip.
- Extra large canopy to give proper shade.
- Can be folded and unfolded with one hand.
- Features double-action brakes.
Cons:

Features to Consider When Searching To Find The Best Stroller For Disney
Size
Big strollers aren’t essentially the best options when you have to make your way through a massive troop of people. Small strollers are easier to push around and walk fast in a hyper-crowded theme park like Disney World. Easily foldable, compact strollers almost make getting on and off buses and monorails a breeze with babies.
Safety
Safety is of utmost importance when buying a mobility aid for babies. Disney trips are all about running here and there, handling the crowd, dealing with the uncertainty of the weather, and most importantly, having a lot of fun come what may. A stroller with lots of headroom, sunshade, and rain cover would be the perfect choice for a place like Disney. It will safeguard your child against the vagaries of weather.
It will also allow him enough room to breathe, play, eat, sleep and explore. Important stroller safety features include a 5-point harness to secure your baby to the stroller carefully. The Wheel-lock system makes sure that the stroller doesn’t veer off in the wrong direction when you stop to catch your breath.
Maneuverability
The finest strollers for Disney are those that can be easily carried and maneuvered. Disneyworld is a massive place, and a big, high-maintenance stroller is the last thing you’d want to deal with over there. Therefore, carefully check the quality of tires, how resistant they are to rough terrains, brakes, handlebars, and grips before buying.
Seats
Your baby is going to have a long day ahead of him at Disney. After a certain point, he would want to relax or take a nap. The little sunshine is also going to have his food and play in the stroller.
So no matter what activity he is up to, the stroller provides enough room and comfort during the vacation. Multi-position reclinable seats are great because they can tilt as much as your baby wants during nap time.
Storage and Snack Tray:
Ample storage space is a must-have in a stroller you plan to bring to Disney. After three trips to Disney in 3 countries, I’ve understood that carrying large diaper bags, lots of sippy bottles, snacks, comfy clothes, and snacks for the baby is essential. Carrying a large bag isn’t the most convenient option for that.
A good stroller for Disney should allow plenty of space to carry these essentials along with the goodies and souvenirs you are bound to buy at Disney. Some advanced models also come with snack trays which you can add at the time of snack break and detach when tummy time is over. Easy peasy.
Foldability:
We will never know how important this feature is until you’ve been to Disneyworld. There, you have to frequently get on monorails and buses to visit different park areas. Plus, you will have to reach the park by car or flight, or other transit modes. An easy folding mechanism will help you in public transport both inside and outside the park.
Single vs. Double Stroller for Disney – Which One Should You Pick?
Going to leave for Disney in a week or two but not yet sure whether to bring a single or double stroller with you? I can understand your dilemma. Been there, done that. To make your decision a tad less daunting, I’ve included the best options from both categories.
Both single and double strollers have their own set of pros and cons. If you are confused, I can give you a few pointers to help you decide.
If you are going to carry only one kid and have easy maneuverability, portability, and spacious storage space on your checklist single stroller would be the wisest choice for you.
Single strollers are known for their compact design. These are way easier to handle in a crowded park, making it easier for you to move through the crowd than a bulky double stroller.
The key strengths of the double strollers are their convenience and spaciousness. If you have more than one kid and lots of luggage with you, a double stroller is certainly more convenient than pushing two or three single strollers side by side.
Sure, they can be a bit bulky, but it will be a savior if you are a proud and adventurous parent of twins. Or maybe, triplets!
Now you have enough pros and cons to weigh in. So choose wisely.
But before you take your pick, make sure to thoroughly read the policies about bringing and parking baby strollers at Disney World.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can you take your stroller to Disneyworld?
Yes, you can. If you don’t own one, there are tons of strollers for rent at Disneyworld. But before you get on with the trip with your stroller, I would urge you to read the Disney park rules and regulations once, just to be on the safe side.
2. Can you lock up your stroller at Disney?
Technically, yes, but you shouldn’t. Theft is not a very uncommon issue at a crowded park like this. If you still need to lock it up, find a proper place for it. If you lock it to a tree or whenever you find an empty space, the guards may move it for security purposes without notifying the owner.
3. Can you bring a wagon to Disney?
Unfortunately, Walt Disney World Park rules don’t allow wagons inside the park. That’s why you have to either bring your stroller or rent one from the park authority.
The Bottom Line
So, we are almost done with this segment. To conclude, I would say that there’s no such thing as the best stroller in the world. The best one for you depends entirely on where and how you intend to use it.
Having said that, you still want to know my top picks, don’t you?
In the best single stroller for the Disney category, I’m more inclined toward UPPAbaby G-LUXE Stroller than the other models. Why? Long story short- it combines a practical design with a truckload of useful features, all these without costing an arm and a leg.
My vote for the best double stroller Disney goes to the Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller for its incredible versatility, clever design, and ease of use.
That’s all for today. Good luck finding the best stroller for Disney World for the next trip.
