Pockit+ All-Terrain

A 20 month old will not fit in a doona - we use a travel stroller and travel car seat (cosco scenera next). I primarily use the subway and make sure I have something really light weight ( I have this one https://a.co/d/5ssvlp9

We liked the [Pockit+ All Terrain](https://a.co/d/hrQ15Bc). Collapsible, can buy backpack straps (Protec) or a travel bag (Pockit) to tote it around when the kid isn't using it.

We love our gb Pockit+ all-terrain stroller, it has a 55 lb weight limit, is very lightweight, and has a super compact fold. I also like that it has a cross support bar between the handles so it can be pushed one handed easily if needed. We’ve flown with it many times and taken it on subways, etc. My toddler is almost 40” tall and he doesn’t seem to be too tall for it? It also has a pretty good recline for naps.

[The Goodbaby Pockit fits](https://gb-online.com/en-en/strollers/pockit-all-terrain) Southwest and Delta carryon measurements. Those are the airlines I fly, so I haven't checked anywhere else. Not sure about the buggy board and basket size is subjective, but it meets the other criteria. The strollers OP lists are close to carryon size. Close enough that it would depend on the airline representatives at the gate and flight attendants whether they put it in a sizer or not. People definitely carry on suitcases that size or larger on a regular basis.

It usually takes a billion years for me to get my mobility scooter back from gate check, but any time we've gate checked kids stuff they've been brought up before we could wrangle the kids off the plane. Unless you have a super tight connection you're worried about, I would look for a relatively compact double and gate check it. My kids are teens so I obviously haven't looked recently, but every time I've priced out strollers, it was more cost effective to buy a cheap one than rent. If you have a kiddo that you think may want/need a stroller at Disney, then having that extra seat for them is worth any time you might wait for baggage handlers. If you get an inexpensive or 2nd hand double then you can stress less about possible damage. The other option is to get a couple of cheap umbrella strollers with a decent basket and use stroller links to make it a double when you need to, but it will make an extra wide double that won't always fit through doors.

I understand. I always have back up plans for my back up plans. I also had one child who was a runner as a young toddler and the other turned 3 and suddenly could flat out disappear. I still suspect that child had the magical ability to teleport. I definitely understand needing something to buckle in a child to keep everyone safe. But unless the stroller you get fits in your airlines carry on guidelines (which is different than fitting in the overhead bins), you always run the risk of having to gate check it anyway. Either way you are paying a lot for a stroller that you may just use in the airport and have to rent one for regular use on your trip. We did umbrella strollers and stroller links for a cruise. It worked fine in airports because everything there is basically wide and open. We used them as singles in the cruise hallways so the only time I really had trouble was going into gift shops around the ports. Since you're only worried about one in the airport, you could also check a stroller at the counter (airlines will usually check them for free) but link them both later for Disney. But now I feel like I should apologize for giving you more things to think about.

I'll preface this by saying that I've never actually been to Disneyworld. I grew up in California so when we do Disney it's with my family in Disneyland. But I think most things with kids in theme parks are similar. Another thing to consider with your runner is that there will be stroller parking outside the ride queues. If you don't already have a toddler harness, you may want to get one. You don't want to end up trying to vault a line barrier that he slipped under and is dashing away from. What I did with our harnesses was loop the parent end around my wrist and then I still held their hands so they got used to walking with me. But if they decided to dart off, I had that fail safe where they couldn't get far. If you travel a lot then a compact stroller makes sense, especially if your older child is mostly out of stroller age so you would only rarely want a double. Kids up to 6 often want a break from walking all day though. I think this is especially true when they see a younger sibling riding.

I second this. It’s the only one I found that actually fits within carry on dimensions We’ve had it for 2.5 years and have used it as our travel AND our every day stroller for our 99% almost 4 year old. The stroller has held up and is still working as it did on day 1 Look at the actual dimensions because a lot of stroller say they fit the overhead dimensions but they don’t
