Another Stroller Question

I have an 8 yr old ds with developemental delays, just started walking on his own a couple of years ago, still quite unsteady at times on his feet and gets tired walking after a bit. Because he has hit a growth spurt this past summer I've just ordered a new special needs stroller for him, mainly for use on all day outings such as the zoo, museums and of course Disney. I also have a 4 yr old dd who I also still use a stroller with for such things. For the past 4 years we have always had a double stroller to use for them, the last one we purchased was a sit and stand but it's a beast to push with my ds in it, thus the need for his new stroller. My problem is now, do I bring 2 strollers for our upcoming trip, which is something my dh definately does not want to do or do I let them switch off riding in my ds's stroller? When we went 2 years ago my other ds was 4 and he walked almost the entire trip, rarely sat in the stroller, but he is ADHD and has problems sitting still in general. My dd is a different story, I know she will get tired and want to sit and I don't think I want to deal with them fighting over the stroller. I thought about just renting a stroller in the parks but I think on the way out of the parks to the car (we don't do the buses) is when my ds would need the stroller the most. Has anyone had this kind of conflict, my dh is really against bringing 2 strollers for the sake of space in our SUV but I think it's probably going to be the smarter choice to bring 2. TIA!

Since there are 2 of you I would go with 2 strollers. One of the big problems with the double strollers is their sheer size. They are a little more difficult to maneuver through crowds, harder to handle on trams, etc. While you husband does have a valid point that 2 strollers in the SUV are a bit of a pain you will find that the 10 minutes of hassle in the SUV will buy you much more ease and enjoyment in the parks.

It sounds like there are 3 kids and two adults right?
I think 2 strollers is your best bet. Would renting a wheelchair be helpful at all?

Definitely go with 2 strollers. We always debate it and after bringing the 2nd we are SO glad we did! Plus it gives you an extra place to stow your stuff!
