A stroller is an absolute MUST if you’re visiting Disneyland with kids!
The parks (Disneyland and California Adventure) are huge and can pose a big problem for parents. I’m guessing you don’t want to hold your child all day or have them complaining and exhausted from all the walking!
I know our family ALWAYS rents a stroller when we go to Disneyland because we don’t own one that is big enough and durable enough to handle a day at the parks. Seriously, even as our kids get older, we still rent a stroller to help rest their legs and get them out of the sun.
Here is a brief overview of the best Disneyland stroller rental companies:
- Best Overall: Traveling Baby – A great combination of pick-up and delivery options, customer service, stroller options, and price.
- Best Selection: BabyQuip – They have Quality Providers that offer a HUGE range of different strollers. In addition, lots of other baby gear is available to rent, including highchairs, cribs, and toys.
- Cheapest: There was no clear winner regarding the least expensive stroller rentals at Disneyland. It depends on the type of stroller, length of stay, delivery needs, accessories, and other factors.
- Best Single-Day Option: Disneyland – Single and double stroller rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis at the front of the park.
6 Best Disneyland Stroller Rentals:
#1: Traveling Baby
Traveling Baby Company has been delivering comfort for over 19 years. They consider themselves a one-stop shop for all baby rental gear, providing clean, safe, easy-to-use products with superior customer service.
Delivery & Pick-Up Options:
Hotels:
- You can pick up and drop off your stroller at the hotel’s front desk or bell services or meet your delivery driver in person. *Make sure you confirm delivery policies with the hotel BEFORE your arrival, as they might have delivery restrictions that can incur fees.*
Private Residence/Vacation Rentals:
- If using a vacation home, Traveling Baby has no problem delivering to you. Make sure you select “Private residence” when filling out your reservation form.
- Delivery windows vary based on your location. Most are between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., giving you plenty of time to meet your driver and set everything up for your park day.
Available Strollers & Pricing:
Traveling Baby has PLENTY of stroller rental options. From joggers to single strollers to double strollers, they have it all. You can also add on accessories, including bar consoles, rain covers, glider boards, fans, and carriers.
Unfortunately, Traveling Baby does NOT offer free delivery. In addition to the cost of renting a stroller, there is a delivery and pick-up fee. For non-meet-and-greet rentals, the rate is $25. If you need to meet your driver, the fee is $40.
#2: City Stroller Rentals
City Stroller is one of the most popular options for renting a stroller at Disneyland!
In addition to strollers, they provide a variety of other baby equipment, such as booster seats, high chairs, and pack-n-plays.
They will also service your personal stroller AND provide a rental in its place while City Stroller makes yours in tip-top shape. Now that’s service!
Delivery & Pick-Up Options:
One benefit of using City Stroller is they offer FREE delivery and pickup.
- Disneyland Hotels: All deliveries must be made face-to-face, as the hotels no longer hold rental items for guests. You will choose a pick-up window when you reserve your stroller. They have windows available from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., which is very convenient.
- Good Neighbor Hotels (Disney-approved hotels around Disneyland): City Stroller delivers your rental to the front desk, so you can pick it up at your convenience. You can also drop off your stroller at the same location. *Some hotels require a meet-and-greet – double-check with City Stroller when you book.*
- Airports (with a catch): Airport delivery is on a case-by-case basis with a $175 minimum.
Unfortunately, City Stroller does not deliver to many subdivisions within the area. They list available delivery locations on their website, so double-check before you rent a stroller.
Available Strollers & Pricing:
The company offers single and double strollers. Both strollers have a nearly full reclining seat and a large sun canopy. There are two single-strollers, and three double-stroller models available.
All strollers have a parent console to help hold water bottles and phones. An optional damage waiver is available for $12.50.
#3: Baby Quip
This Disneyland stroller rental company works a little differently.
Instead of being a single provider, they have a network of “Quality Providers” (QP) who deliver, pick up, clean, and sanitize equipment. You will select one of the Quality Providers when you book through their website. You can see pictures and individual reviews for each person, in addition to the equipment they offer.
Delivery & Pick-Up Options:
BabyQuip considers themselves your “baby gear concierge” and offers flexible delivery options.
- Airports: Your Quality Provider will confirm ahead of time your flight details and monitor your arrival time. When you’ve landed, text your QP and they will meet you at a specific location! *Fees may occur depending on QP.*
- Hotels & Vacation Rentals: BabyQuip QPs coordinate with your vacation rental host or hotel concierge, so you can have your gear before your arrival. Or, if you have questions, you can also meet your QP after check-in.
Private residence and self-pick-up/return options are also available. You will want to make sure you select the proper QP for your desired pick-up.
Available Strollers & Pricing:
The rental process is unique compared to other companies.
First, you input your location, rental dates, and delivery window. Then, BabyQuip provides a list of QPs surrounding your location. They have ratings, reviews, and estimated fees.
Once you choose your provider, you can see the available items for rent. Items and pricing vary by provider, so make sure to do your homework and choose the right option for you!
Every rental is protected with up to $1,000,000 in liability insurance, which is extensive coverage compared to other companies.
In addition to strollers, many of the Quality Providers offer other baby rentals, such as cribs, car seats, high chairs, toys, etc.
#4: ScooterBug
ScooterBug is the official featured provider of strollers for Disneyland Resort. Being given this distinction gives ScooterBug one HUGE advantage over the competition.
If you stay at a Disneyland Resort, ScooterBug is the ONLY stroller rental company you do not have to physically meet at delivery or pick up.
- There are THREE Disneyland Resorts: Grand Californian, Pixar Place Hotel, and Disneyland Hotel.
The company will deliver the stroller directly to the front desk of your resort, and you can pick it up at your convenience. Then, at the end of your trip, you just drop it back off at the front desk. 🙂
Three strollers are available through ScooterBug – a single, a double, and an adaptive stroller for kids with special needs. ScooterBug does not carry as extensive a line of strollers as some of the other options.
#5: Rent a stroller from Disneyland
It’s also possible to rent a stroller directly from Disneyland. This offers a convenient option for those who might need a stroller for a single day for those just-in-case moments.
Rentals are first-come, first-served and fill up quickly, so you must prioritize this! On busy days at Disneyland, you run the risk of the strollers being sold out.
Your stroller can be used in Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park. Both single and double strollers are available.
The strollers that Disneyland gives you are basic compared to those available from rental companies. They do not have cushions, are primarily plastic, and are restrictive in their size. Accessories are not included, so you will likely carry more yourself than the feature-heavy strollers from private companies.
Rates are $18 per day for a single stroller and $36 per day for a double. There are no discounts for renting for multiple days.
Regarding pricing, if you need a stroller for more than one day, renting a stroller directly from Disney is by far the MOST expensive option. You also can’t take them back to your resort, which is incredibly inconvenient if your kids are sleeping in the stroller at the end of a long day. 🙂
I would only rent a stroller directly from Disneyland if I was going to visit the parks for ONE day and needed a convenient option.
#6: Bring Your Own Stroller!
Bringing your own stroller to Disneyland is an affordable way to keep your kid comfortable.
You’ll need to pay attention to Disneyland’s stroller policies. Your stroller must not exceed 31″ (79cm) by 52″ (132cm). Strollers are not allowed on escalators, like in a parking garage. Wagons and stroller wagons are NOT permitted!
There are budget benefits when you bring your own stroller, but there are also drawbacks. Bringing a stroller on an airplane is difficult.
Personally, I would prefer having someone deliver a stroller WAY before bringing one on a plane.
