Why We Chose The City Mini
(Part 2)

Versatility: Children’s needs change throughout
the years that they need to ride in a stroller. Their needs can even change
over the course of a day.
We looked for strollers that permitted this
versatility – the back can lie flat for a sleeping child or an infant, and it can go upright for an alert and
awake child
who wants to get a good look at Cinderella and all the other attractions of
Disney World (or wherever you’re going in or around Orlando). And the harness has to be adjustable, too.
Not too big; not too small. A stroller, even a double
stroller, has to be big enough to fit the child riding in it (or the two
children) but it shouldn’t be so big that it’s a pain to
push and even worse to get through doors.
One thing we loved about the
Baby Jogger City Mini double stroller
is that it is able to get through an average
doorway without you bashing your knuckles or
having to fold up the stroller. We’re sure that you’ll love this feature,
too.
We did see one type of double stroller that had a
double-decker construction, but we
rejected this in favour of the side-by-side style of the City Mini – both kids
probably want to see what’s going on.
A big hood: Here in Orlando, we’re practically
in the tropics, which means that any stroller we have available has to have
a big hood to
keep off the strong Florida sunshine and also to give Junior a bit of shelter if a
rain shower blows up from the sea and head our way. In the double version, the hoods are independent, so
you can adjust them as needed for the kids the
separate seats.
Luggage space: If you’re going to the effort of
pushing a stroller around a theme park or around town, then you’ve got
enough of a workout on your hands.
You don’t want to have to lump a whole lot of stuff in big bag on your back. This
is why we’ve chosen strollers with a good,
generous bit of luggage space placed strategically underneath the stroller,
which also helps to lower the stroller’s centre of
gravity so it is even less likely to tip.
Accessories: We have been careful to choose a style of
stroller that has a lot of optional accessories
available. The accessories that you can get – at no
extra charge, incidentally – with the City Mini (double
or single)
include a rain shield, a chiller pack for the luggage compartment (a real must
for keeping drinks and snacks cool in the hotter
Florida weather)
and a parent console pack that includes a cup holder so you can stay hydrated during all that hard work
of pushing a stroller around the place.
You can also get a glider board that provides a
handy place for an older sibling to rest at strategic
moments (there’s more about this in another
article).
Oh yes – the strollers we picked out for our fleet of
Orlando stroller rentals had to look good, too. We’re
professionals and we want our equipment to look
smart!
