Do you guys know any brand tha has a high weight limity???

I know it cost as much as buying one but I find the ones you rent there to be the best for the bigger kids.

Combi makes great travel strollers that have a weight limit of 55 pds. They are very light weight, easy to fold, and have a carrying strap....great for the buses at WDW.

Shop around online...I found both of mine on sale because a newer model was coming out.

The ones you rent do have a weight limit of 100 lbs for the double stroller. But for a larger child they are not always the best. The reason is because the child may be too tall for the cover and their head hits the netting. If you do not get a good deal on a stroller, I would recommend and I do to my guests to get a wheelchair. It is quite comfortable and its a lot less than a double stroller and 5 dollars cheaper than a single stroller. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the tips...I am looking at the combi now.
I found one that the brand is Bob, is it a good brand? it is very expensive but it holds 70p.

I'd recommend that one as well! I have two... an older version and the Combi Flare - I love them! They've been excellent to travel with!

I agree, the Combi is a good one, but I purchased the Chico lightweight stoller for my son a few years back, only b/c it was a bit cheaper and being that he was almost 5, I knew he would not be in it for long. I have to say, it is awesome, It holds up to 55 lbs. and it reclines. It was easy to handle on the Disney buses, and it also came with a carrying case, which was great for lugging to and from the airport.

Maclarens go to 55 lbs and are great for travel.

BOB and Baby Jogger also have high weight limits but not as light to travel with, with the exception of the Baby Jogger City Mini which I definitely would suggest you check out- it's a WDW favorite among many on the boards.

Maybe try renting instead of buying. I have heard good things about this place:

Good quality strollers.

I second the Orlando Stroller Rentals.

They have a stroller that goes up to 75 pounds. It is $80 for the week, but you don't have to worry with packing it/ then having it take up space in your garage once you get home!

We saw LOTS of people using their double strollers in June. We asked several of them how they liked them and everyone said they LOVED them. They were very clean, comfy, easy to fold, etc.

We will be using them from now on!

I second the Maclarens. Their Volo line is light, easy to handle and closes very easily. We've used ours for numerous trips first for our son and now our daughter. They are built to last and we've never had any issues with it.

I don´t consider renting one ot WDW because we want to use it at the Malls and Outlets...

I am looking at the Combi one and Maclaren...

Thanks for the help.

We went through this same thing for older kids. I swear I tried just about every stroller made! Eventually, after trying Combi's, Peg Perego, Chicco, Inglesina, etc. we finally went with the Maclaren Volo. It held up to 60 lbs, had the largest seat (wide and tall), and was extremely light & easy to fold with one hand. Once folded it has a strap with a wide , no-slip shoulder carry strap so you can just slip it over your shoulder and hop on the bus. It has a halfway decent net basket underneath for storage compared to most, esp the Combi. And we have a Combi bookfold stroller that is great too, but it just wasn't right for this type of 'work'. lol!

Anyway, I realize I'm jumping in kinda late on your post, but we're bringing ours again for our youngest two who are going on 5 and 6. I didn't even have to think about it!
