Okay so we borrowed a Joovy Caboose (sit and stand type) stroller from a friend for our upcoming disney trip.
We've tried it out.

PRO - 4 year old can rest on bench if tired
- lighterweight then our single stroller

CON - LIMITED storage
- NO adult cupholders...


With these in mind what do you think??
My 4 year old LOVES to go on daddies shoulders so we figure we could either bring the caboose and deal with holding bags and water bottles and have a place for him to sit. OR we can bring out single strolle and have plenty of storage and cupholders but only have my husbands shoulders to offer our 4 1/2 year old.

What do you think would be the better idea??
We usually have one diaper bag (large) and a big camera bag we lug around..

You go to Babies R Us and buy the neoprene parent storage and cup holder thing (http://www.amazon.com/Joovy-Cool-Essentials-Parent-Organizer/dp/B000JIDACS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=generic&qid=1218388510&sr=1-4) like we did. :)

We bought a Caboose for our trip to Disney and loved it. We used the basket for stuff we knew we wouldn't need to access frequently and used the neoprene cup holder for one cup and bought a package from a company called Lionheart (I think) that had two pieces you screw onto the metal sides of the stroller that an additional cup holder or water bottle holder or snack holder snapped onto.

We also bought a package of hooks.

For our diapers and other needs, we used a small backpack that we sort of hung on the pushbar.

I may have a picture somewhere.

Babies R Us carries two items that will address your needs:

Joovy Parent Organizer is fabulous. The one I found in stores differs from the photo online, as it is neoprene and holds TWO adult cups, as well as a few slots for napkins or sunglasses, etc. You could also consider the clip on cup holders as well, but I have broken those a few times.

Here is a more elaborate one by MacLaren that includes a mesh bag attachment:

"Stroll'r Swivel'rs" are nifty hooks that hook to your stroller handles and hold just about any bag or attachment you desire. They are a lifesaver!

Do you know (or anyone else) if these will fit onto the rental strollers at Disney? My mind is completely blanking on what the strollers look like. I do remember a lack of storage, and for $5 I could use these for our trip, and then pass them onto someone else.

Not sure if they'd fit the handles on the rentals, though.

Thanks!
