Tue 4/8/2008 8:05a | FYI:
Rental prices for strollers and Electronic Convenience Vehicles (ECVs) jumped yesterday. Single strollers are up 50 percent from $10 per day to $15 per day, while double strollers are up a whopping 72 percent, from $18 to $31. ECVs are up from $35 to $45, though the deposit is up from $5 to $20. "Length-of-stay" stroller rentals are also up similarly, with singles increasing from $8 to $13 per day and doubles up from $16 to $27. These price hikes seem steep (and they are!), but bear in mind that there has been no increase in these fees for three years.

Wed 4/9/2008 8:04a | I am glad we are done with strollers. But sometimes I miss having a place to put my drinks,camera bags, etc. I hate carrying things. |

Wed 4/9/2008 1:31p | This is a huge jump! It really is cheaper to go to the local stores and buy a 30-50 dollar umbrella stroller and just give it away when you leave. |
