Bringing my own stroller

OK, so this is a very specific question with a limited number of you who could possibly have an answer, but...

I intend to purchase and bring a cheap double stroller with me to WDW to avoid the ridiculous prices for stroller rental. Anyone have experience and can recommend a brand/model. Obviously, price is my first consideration as I don't intend this to be an everyday use stroller.
I have considered the Sit-n-Stand made by BabyTrend which goes for around $129 (after tax it will be a few dollars more than a 5 day rental but we'll bring it with us when we go on subsequent trips). Anyone have WDW experience with this?

Thanks for the advice!

Not sure how old your child is, but many people get umbrella strollers to use at WDW and then either leave it behind or pass it on to another family.

Thanks for the advice! I should have specified...
We have 3 kids aged 2, 4 and 6. Normally a double rental will do and the older kids just take turns riding. Unfortunately it looks as though Kolcraft has stopped making their double umbrella stroller which limits the market to strollers from $90 up.
However, it would be nice to have a double to take with us so that we can split up and still have 2 kids in a stroller and one holding a hand (impossible for me to do with a single umbrella).
Also, since we're returning in April, we thought it would be nice to take it with us.
So... with that in mind, I'm looking for something that is fairly compact and doesn't weigh more than I do, but holds 2 kids.
Any suggestions?

I really love the sit and stands.

Other than being comfortable for the children, my must have is a parent tray. I also like a tray for the kids.

It makes it much harder to push but if need be at the end of the night you could have 1 kid up front, one sitting in the back, and one standing. We did this with our 2 and our nephew after a long day. And it helped keep them all together while walking with the huge crowds to get out of the park.

Glad to hear that this stroller worked for you in WDW. I think this is probably the way we'll go. Never thought about being able to sit one and stand one on that back deck! That could be the clencher right there!
Thanks a lot for your help both on and off the boards!
I have another Westchester County Airport question that I'll PM you later if you don't mind. Right now I have pressing matters to attend to.
Thanks again to all who've responded!

You can get 2 cheap umbrella strollers and then get the connector to hook them together. Cheap double strollers can be really difficult to push if there is a huge weight difference in your kids.
