From island sunshine to Disney days, l've compiled a list of stroller items that have been life savers for us particularly as we've travelled from the Caribbean to Orlando several times🌴🏰. Everything on this list is something I’ve actually used during our Disney trips with little ones. My stroller of choice is the GB Pockit compact stroller because it is the easiest to fold when you're getting on the bus to Magic Kingdom! All the items here work with the pockit stroller. I recommend them from personal experience. Hope it helps your family enjoy the magic without the stress! ✨
