shaffecv 12 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 https://www.keenz.us/7s-stroller-wagon.html Just read a discussion on a facebook group in which several people claim these Chitty-Chitty -Bang- Bang looking things are approved for use in Disney Parks. I have yet to see any, but it should add to the entertainment at the bus stops. Watching one of these units being unloaded and folded up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Seen the FB posts and the different ways they decorate them. They claim that since they are pushed they are not a wagon. And they are expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 After I clicked on the above address An ad for them popped up on the bottom of my screen, they are called stroller wagons. And I see that name is in the address. So, if the company making them named them wagons...then they are wagons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaffecv 12 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I like the company's claim that they have been certified as a stroller. It's amazing that an agency exists with the authority to certify a product as a stroller. Avatab.... Steve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 They kind of remind me of the folding wagons you can buy at camping stores. they just added the roof and a way to push it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And gave it a cutesy name and had mommy bloggers start to rave about it. The SUV size double strollers are bad enough, now you'll be getting mowed down by these behemoths! My wagon from Sams is similar, and it folds kind of easily. But that's without the roof and the front bag, cushions, drinks, 32 assorted toys and 2 Mickey Ear hats jamming up the folding process while they are holding up the bus loading line. And they don't have to have it folded before the bus arrives because they are special. It's their right to make everyone else wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing better than waiting in line with an open bus door in front of you. And watching people in front of you try to fold a stroller and realizing after 4 attempts it's not going to fold with 2 backpacks and a full size Coleman cooler inside of it. And then clogging the NO BAGS security entrance at the parks because, and I quote "That's not a bag it's a storage compartment on the stroller". alnauntB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when we had our first daughter and were thrilled to purchase our first umbrella stroller. It was a Levi's model. It was so light, convenient, easy to fold and maneuver. We used that until the rear wheels wore out the holes in the rear tubes, then I pulled the wheels out, drove dowels into the tubes, drilled new holes and put the wheels back on! From a dad standpoint, the only thing I didn't like, the wheels were too small for off-roading! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it fit inside of a carry bag for a folding camp chair, so it was easy to check with our luggage when we flew. A new gripe I had this past trip and it's a legit safety concern. At the Yacht Club people leave their scooters and double wide strollers parked in the hallways at night so as not to take up any of their precious space in the room. I'm sure the fire Marshal wouldn't be too impressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it theft if you are simply removing abandoned property to a centralized location? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Since this is the type of thing that fascinates me, I read the website and the manual. Love the number of times the words accessories and elite are used. Those must be proven parent buzzwords. Teal costs $50 more than gray, black or purple. That's obviously a mistake since purple is definitely the premium color of those four. What I was looking for was a picture of a child actually seated in it shown from overhead. I'm guessing the child has to sit, in the harness, with his legs stretched out in front of him. Not hanging like in a stroller. I'm guessing few children want to sit like that for very long. But the instructions say a child should be harnessed when in the "stroller" and should not stand up -- so ignore the photo on the web page of a child obviously standing in the wagon. The instructions also say maximum of 45 pounds per child and 110 overall, no more than 2 children. Then the video shows a girl who I'm pretty certain is more than 45 pounds climbing in and strapping herself in as her mother tells us how wonderful the product is. The only time I took a stroller to WDW it was a double umbrella stroller for my almost 3 yr old twins and 5 year old. They rotated sitting in it. That was an awesome stroller and easy to fold.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Just got back from WDW and those strollers were everywhere. But they didn't seem to be causing any problems. Unlike the double wide jogger stroller that almost took me out as the dad jogged down main street. Single jogger fine double jogger bad, no good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reserve judgement until you are behind them as they attempt to get one onto a tram or bus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When we went with our kids there weren't 1000 strollers in one area, and where you left your stroller (out of the way of course) was where it was when you came back. The first time I couldn't find my grand kids stroller after leaving it in the designated spot I freaked out. Finally found it about 10 rows back from where I left it. From then on it had a colored rag tied to the handle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One time, we got some extra FPs because a CM had moved our stroller to a completely different parking area (no where near the parking area that we left it in). I guess the CM was new and didn't get the concept of the "musical strollers". Can't say I blame him... I don't really get it, either shaffecv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somebody turned the flower bed sprinklers on right in front of the theatre. A couple hundred strollers were soaking wet. That'll teach ya to park in an unapproved spot.
