June 1998, our dd was 4.5 years old and TALL! Not a heavy kid, but very TALL! We went to the Walmart is Kissimmee and bought a regular umbrella stroller for her. It was great! She was comfortable enough during the loooooong walks, she walked on her own for short walks. We bought it for $13, that's about two days WDW stroller rental. In 2001, dd was 7.5 years old and we rented strollers at WDW just about every day. It cost $$$$$, 7 park days. She was very comfortable in them as well. They look so uncomfortable, but it beats walking. April 2002, 8.5 years old, she walked on her own and did GREAT! BTW, we still have the 1998 stroller! S
