The Best Disney-Approved Strollers for 2025: Complete Guide for Parents

We pride ourselves in being unbiased gear experts. Learn more about how we research, expertly review and curate products here.

As parents, we know that your first Disney trip with little ones can feel like a dream—and a logistical challenge. Between the heat, long lines and stroller parking, choosing the right stroller isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. That’s why we’ve curated a list of Disney-approved strollers that are easy to maneuver, meet park regulations and help you stay focused on the magic.

Do You Need a Stroller at Disney? 

Yes. Even the most independent older child can get worn out after a few hours under the sun. A stroller gives them a cozy spot to nap, snack or people-watch while you keep your hands free for Mickey-shaped treats and selfies with Disney cast members. It’s also a lifesaver when navigating the Disney buses, trams, monorail and long park walks.

Disney Theme Park Stroller Requirements (2025)

Both Disneyland and Disney World have a strict stroller policy that is enforced at park entrances. Here’s what you need to know:

• Size Requirements: Strollers must be no larger than 31” (79 cm) wide and 52” (132 cm) long.
• Wagons Are Not Allowed: This includes stroller wagons—even those designed to push.
• Motorized and Oversized Strollers: These are not permitted.

Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Stroller for Disney

Choosing the right stroller makes your day easier from your first ride to fireworks. Here’s what to prioritize:

• Number & Age of Kids: Consider whether you need a single, double or sit-and-stand model. Younger babies might need car seat compatibility or flat recline.
• Weight & Portability: Lighter strollers are easier to lift onto trams or carry at the end of a long day.
• Foldability: Look for one-hand folds, ideally with a self-standing feature, to simplify boarding transportation and storing during rides.
• Storage Capacity: You’ll want space for snacks, extra clothes, sunscreen, water bottles and souvenirs. Big baskets and storage pockets help.
• Comfort Features: Multi-position reclines, sun canopies, padded seats and footrests help keep little ones happy.
• Durability: All-terrain wheels, quality frames and sturdy builds are key to handling park days with ease.

Preparing For Your Disney Trip: 6 Tips for a Smooth Experience 

Disney magic meets real-life parenting. Here are tried-and-true ways to keep your day stress-free:

• Label Your Stroller: Tie a bright ribbon, luggage tag or balloon to your stroller so it’s easy to spot in crowded parking zones.
• Use Baby Care Centers: These are available in each park and offer nursing rooms, changing tables, air-conditioned spaces and toddler-friendly restrooms.
• Protect Against Weather: Pack a rain cover and a stroller fan. Florida weather especially, can shift quickly.
• Snap a Parking Pic: Take a photo of where you parked your stroller before hopping on rides—it’s easy to forget (take it from us!).
• Rider Switch is Your Friend: Disney’s Rider Switch program lets one adult ride while the other waits with the kids, then swap without waiting again.
• Prep Your Stroller: Before your trip, check the brakes, wheels and storage for a smooth ride.

Renting a Stroller at Disney

Disney offers stroller rentals inside their theme parks, with prices varying depending on the park and whether you’re renting a single or a double stroller.

• At Disneyland, single strollers rent for $18 per day, while doubles cost $36 per day.
• At Disney World, the daily rate is $15 for single strollers and $31 for double strollers.

Before you go this route, there are a few things to keep in mind about Disney’s in-park strollers. They're constructed from hard plastic, which means no cushioned support for your child’s head, back or seat. The seats have a fixed, slightly reclined position that can’t be adjusted. These strollers aren’t suitable for infants under six months and may be uncomfortable for older babies and toddlers—especially if your little one will be riding in it for long stretches.

That said, they do have a couple of perks. They're super easy to wipe down after spills or accidents, and they’re very convenient if your own stroller doesn't meet park guidelines or is denied at the entrance.

You can also opt to rent from a local baby gear rental service. Prices are typically comparable and these companies provide strollers from trusted brands. 

• For Disneyland and California Adventure, check out OC Baby Gear Rentals, BabyQuip or City Stroller Rentals.
• For Disney World, popular rental options include BabyQuip, Orlando Stroller Rentals and Magic Strollers.

For longer trips or more flexibility, bringing your own stroller—and buying secondhand to save money—is usually the smarter choice.

Disney Approved Strollers: FAQ 

What Strollers Are Not Allowed at Disney?

Stroller wagons (whether pushed or pulled) and strollers larger than 31 inches (79 cm) wide and 52 inches (132 cm) long are not permitted inside Disney World, Disneyland and other associated parks. Notable stroller options that don’t comply with these policies include:

• Wagons: Regardless of being pushed or pulled.
• Oversized strollers: Exceeding the specified dimensions. 

Examples of Oversized Strollers You Can’t Take to Disney: 

• BOB Gear Revolution 3.0
• Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger
• Baby Trend Navigator Double Jogger 
• Joovy Big Caboose 
• Joovy Zoom360 Ultralight Jogger 
• Thule Urban Glide Double 

Disney strictly enforces its stroller size policies. If your stroller does not meet their size requirements and you're not in the market for a new one just for the trip, consider Disney's stroller rental programs or buy a stroller secondhand to save money. 

Does Disney Enforce Stroller Size? What if My Stroller is Over the Limit? 

Yes—and they’re strict. Even an inch over the 31” width or 52” length limit will get you turned away.

Should I Rent or Bring My Own Stroller? 

Renting is convenient for short trips, but for multiple days or younger kids, bringing your own stroller has its perks. If you’re not in the market for a new stroller just for the trip, don’t sweat it: All Disney parks have stroller rental programs that allow you to rent approved strollers. You can always buy a gently used model for an average of 50% off through a retailer like GoodBuy Gear, too (wink, wink!).

Are Double Strollers Allowed at Disney? 

Yes—both side-by-side and tandem strollers are allowed as long as they meet size guidelines.

Are Umbrella Strollers Allowed at Disney? 

Yes, umbrella strollers are allowed at Disney theme parks. Many families with little ones opt for these types of strollers because they are easy to fold and lightweight. 

Are Wagons Allowed at Disney World?

No, wagons of any kind are not permitted at Disney World and its associated theme parks.

Can I Bring My Stroller on Rides? 

Strollers are not permitted inside the attractions at Disney World resorts—there is stroller parking outside. Pro tip: If you have a little one who can’t yet walk, use a stroller that’s compatible with an infant car seat, since these items are allowed at most shows and on some slow-moving rides.

Planning ahead and being prepared with the right stroller can make your Disney vacation one to remember. Showing up with the wrong stroller can steal precious moments, since it’ll take you a fair amount of time to take your stroller back to your car or hotel if you’re turned away at the gates.

Thankfully, you have options. You can plan ahead, and purchase a Disney-approved stroller (buying secondhand will save you a ton!). Or, you can always take advantage of Disney’s stroller rental program—particularly for shorter trips, since the cost of a prolonged rental can quickly add up.
