Small legs get tired, and if you’re
 going to spend the whole day at the
Walt Disney World Resort, that older
child will have flagging energy levels
      come the end of the day.
The importance of glider boards in strollers
Take when you’re crossing the road:
you need two hands for pushing the
  stroller itself, so the traditional
 parents’ phrase of “Hold my hand
 while we cross the road,” doesn’t
                 apply.
And you might not want the option
of getting the elder child to hold onto
the stroller handles beside you while
   you cross the road – if the road is
   very busy and you need to move
  quickly (or if the lights have a very
 short pedestrian crossing phase – it
               happens),
this elder child might not be able to
 keep up with your pace and could
get left behind slightly while you’re
              crossing.
The importance of glider boards in strollers
Or if he/she is in a rotten mood, they
   might not want to hold onto the
stroller beside you – which you don’t
want when you’re trying to cross the
                 road.
In these situations – crossing
roads, tired preschool children – it’s
best if you can get the elder child to
   ride on the stroller somehow.
The importance of glider boards in strollers
In some older models of stroller or
pram, which aren’t usually available
as Orlando stroller rentals, both sets
  of wheels had a solid axle that an
  older child could perch on while
hanging onto the body of the stroller
                itself.
This worked tolerably well, but made
  the handling of the pram/stroller
 pretty awkward – or should that be
        “even more awkward”.
The importance of glider boards in strollers
On the style of stroller that was
 commonly in use during the 1970s
  and 1980s, riding on the side was
practically impossible and if an older
child tried and managed to find some
room, this would always end up with
           tipping and falls.
An older child could try to sit on the
 very front of the stroller for a few
minutes but this makes the handling
rather front-heavy and difficult, and
  isn’t recommended when you’re
           crossing the road
the child could fall off halfway across
   or their weight could affect the
  handling if you have to dodge an
 obstacle of some sort in the road –
    such as people crossing in the
          opposite direction.
Putting the child on the back of the
 stroller somehow is a much better
option. The only snag is that because
 of the design of the stroller, there’s
 nowhere for an older child to perch
  on the back of a modern stroller.
The importance of glider boards in strollers
And this is where glider boards come
 in. If you book a glider board along
       with your Orlando stroller
rentals, you can provide for the elder
            of your children.
The importance of glider boards in strollers
He or she will be right in front of
 you, meaning that they are more
secure and less likely to wander off
or fall behind, and you can still see
 obstacles in the way of the front
              wheels.
It is true that having the extra weight
    of the older child will affect the
 handling and balance of the stroller
               as a whole.
However, because the centre of
  gravity on a modern stroller is
 already low, the effect will not be
great, and if the stroller does tip, it
 will tip backwards, which is a lot
    safer and easier to prevent.
And what if you have three children
under the age of five? This is where
 you book in a double stroller (for
  Children Two and Three) and a
   glider board (for Child One).
The importance of glider boards in strollers
And book in a parent console –
        you’re likely to need a
nice, refreshing drink to hand when
   you’re doing all that pushing.
