7 Reasons the Guava Roam Stroller is the Best Choice for Disney Theme Parks

The Guava Family Roam Crossover Stroller is a standout option for Disney theme parks compared to the BOB Revolution for several key reasons. Here's why the Roam shines at Disney:

1. Portability & Compactness

• Guava Roam: Known for its super compact fold, the Roam folds down easily and is lightweight, making it much easier to navigate through crowded areas, on Disney transportation (buses, monorails), and even in security lines. You can quickly fold it with one hand—ideal for use on the monorails and the Disney Railroad. Psst - It stands on it's own when folded properly.

• BOB Revolution: While it's great for jogging and outdoor terrain, the BOB is bulkier and harder to fold. It's not as convenient for tight spaces, and its larger frame can make it harder to handle in narrow lines on the bus or monorail, and crowds.

  
  
  
  

2. All-Terrain Versatility

• Guava Roam: As a crossover stroller, it has the benefit of all-terrain wheels, but they are optimized for both smooth surfaces and light rough terrain. This makes it ideal for Disney’s mix of pavement, cobblestone walkways, and park transitions, without the excess weight.

• BOB Revolution: Built for off-road jogging, the BOB’s wheels are oversized and designed for heavy-duty use, making it a bit of an overkill in a theme park where you mostly need the lightweight, smooth navigation. The downside is if you lose air or pop the inner tube, there are no places in the parks for stroller repair.

  
  

3. Ease of Maneuverability

• Guava Roam: The Roam is praised for its incredible maneuverability, allowing you to steer easily with one hand while managing a snack or holding a toddler. Its compact size is better for quick turns, crowded areas, and managing park lines.

• BOB Revolution: While smooth for jogging, the BOB’s larger, bulkier frame can feel harder to turn and navigate in crowded Disney spaces, especially if the tire pressure is low. It's more cumbersome in areas like ride queues, stores, and restaurants.

4. Weight & Storage

• Guava Roam: Easier to carry when folded, the Roam’s compact nature makes it more practical for theme park days when you’ll frequent the park by outside transportation. It also allows for more storage in the bottom basket and side pockets, perfect for your occupants Disney essentials.

• BOB Revolution: The BOB is heavier and bulkier, which can make it more of a hassle when you have to fold and carry it on the buses, trams or ferries. Although it offers good storage, the size and weight can slow you down.

  
  

5. Travel-Friendly Features

• Guava Roam: Specifically designed for family travel, the Roam's ability to fold down small enough for overhead bins on some airplanes means it’s ready for any journey. Disney parks often involve travel logistics, and the Roam excels in these areas. Flip-Flop Friendly, Foot Pedal Parking Brake

• BOB Revolution: Not designed with frequent travel in mind, the BOB is bigger and less ideal for easy transportation on airplanes or public transit. It’s more focused on outdoor jogging rather than theme park ease. Flip-Flop Friendly, Foot Pedal Parking Brake

  
  

6. Price & Value

• Guava Roam: Offers great value for families who want versatility and convenience for both everyday use and vacations. It’s reasonably priced for its features and flexibility.

• BOB Revolution: Though a fantastic jogging stroller, it’s typically more expensive and its advanced features for outdoor activities aren't fully utilized for theme park settings.

  
  

  

  
  

7. Comfort for Kids

• Guava Roam: The seat is cushioned and well-ventilated, providing comfort for little ones while they nap or sit during long days in the park. The adjustable recline is great for naps on the go. The canopy does not interfere with occupants who are on the taller side. Those who are taller will not be that comfortable to nap in - 44inches and under is the recommended maximum height.

• BOB Revolution: Also comfortable, but its focus on active use can make it overbuilt for a park day. The features are similar to the Roam but Bob is meant for occupants under 44 inches.
