protect her child from the sun. You can use anything for that purpose; a receiving
blanket works well. Liliane used clothespins and safety pins to attach the pieces to the
canopy.
Strollers are a must for infants and toddlers, but we've observed many sharp par-
ents renting strollers for somewhat older children (up to age 5 or so). The stroller
keeps parents from having to carry kids when they sag and provides a convenient
place to carry water and snacks.
A family from Tulsa, Oklahoma, recommends springing for a double stroller:
We rent a double for baggage room or in case the older child gets tired of walking.
If you go to your hotel for a break and intend to return to the park, leave your
rental stroller by an attraction near the park entrance, marking it with something per-
sonal, such as a bandanna. When you return, your stroller will be waiting.
A Charleston, West Virginia, mom recommends a backup plan:
Strollers are not allowed in lines for rides, so if you have a small child (ours was 4)
who needs to be held, you might end up holding him a long time. If I had it to do over,
I'd bring along some kind of child carrier for when he was out of the stroller.
