I would take the stroller. Even if you end up carrying LO in the Ergo you'll be able to pile stuff onto the stroller. And assuming you're staying at a hotel on the beach, I love having a stroller for carrying all our stuff from the room down and back, or going for a walk in town etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394363 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 23:00:57 +0000 RubyCali 1394363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used our umbrella stroller a ton on vacation, and it was free to check at the gate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394357 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 22:56:28 +0000 travelgirl1 1394357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never taken a stroller on any of our trips with A, the Ergo has always been great. I have to say though, when we went to Spain she was very hot being worn, but would have been very hot in the stroller too, so it's horses for courses. I'd do whatever is easiest for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394355 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 22:53:28 +0000 winniebee 1394355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing a solo trip with DS cross country this wknd. Bringing the glight for airport - he can't be contained any other way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394353 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 22:51:40 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1394353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm the type that can't babywear for too long and need a stroller. also both kids are great stroller nappers so we would never travel without a stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394336 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 22:37:42 +0000 bunnylove08 1394336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: if you bring it don't forget to take the cups older off when you gate check it. We forgot to and our cup holder snapped off :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394294 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 22:11:30 +0000 hilsy85 1394294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: thanks! good to know!</p> <p>@brady80: true re: might be too hot there for the ergo...I guess I am more thinking about the airport. I would totally bring it just in case, but I can see DH getting annoyed at the amount of stuff we are going to have with us...</p> <p>@chopsuey: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394266 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 21:53:28 +0000 brady80 1394266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: good to know, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394253 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 21:43:07 +0000 betsyboop 1394253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I'd leave it. If you can still wear your LO in an ergo, I'd go with that! I brought my umbrella stroller on my last airplane trip, and it ended up being more of a hassle to check. Happy vacationing to you!!!</p> <p>ETA: If you do end up bringing it, I wouldn't recommend bringing the g-luxe to the beach! I made the mistake of trying to roll it through the sand, and somehow the wheels became super squeaky, which drove me nuts for the rest of the trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394252 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 21:43:03 +0000 brady80 1394252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're going to puerto rico next week and I plan on bringing our g luxe. I figure it may be too hot to wear her all the time and she tends to nap on walks in the stroller and maybe on the beach? It's light, so I figure what's one more item ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394251 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 21:41:22 +0000 chopsuey 1394251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would have been nice to have an umbrella stroller when we traveled to the Bahamas. Having to carry or ergo DS was a bit of a pain. We walked a ton though.<br /> Have a safe trip!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/take-an-umbrella-stroller#post-1394240 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 21:33:21 +0000 hilsy85 1394240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave for Mexico tomorrow (yay!) and we currently have a suitcase, a carry on, and a purse for me. We have an ergo for LO, and we are also bringing a convertible carseat to use on the plane. Do we need to bring our umbrella stroller (g luxe)? I initially thought it would be good to have in the airport so LO is contained and I have more range of motion (and it might be helpful on vacation?) but now i'm not sure. Thoughts? </p>
