When the girls got too big I would still bring one of those fold up cheap umbrella strollers. We would pile all our items for the day and I would push it along. With our stuff and grandmas it was very nice not to have to carry it all. At the end of the trip I did nt bring it home- would give it to someone our last park day. One less thing to bring home on plane. Worth the $20 to get one once a year.
