Congrats to Adriennevh who won a Maxi Cosi Loola stroller! She says
” My favorite stroller is any one built with TALL people in mind. WHen my kids were little, I never uesed a stroller becuase I couldn’t push it all hunched over. Now with the grandbabies they are getting better, but still there is major room for improvement. And no, neither my daughter or I can afford the ones with the expandable handle.”
We hope that you love the Loola stroller Adrienne!
Every so often the same question crops up again on message boards and email lists, in magazine articles and blog posts. It’s tweeted about on twitter and emailed amongst friends:
“What’s the best stroller to take to (insert theme park name here)?”
As a resident of Southern California and mom of four wonderful kids, I spend a lot of time in theme parks. Disneyland, Legoland, Seaworld, The San Diego Zoo, The Long Beach Aquarium, The San Diego Wild Animal Park, Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm… our strollers have rolled many theme park miles. After testing & reviewing dozens of strollers while raising my four kids, I’m still always searching for that holy grail of parent equipment. The perfect theme park stroller!
