  Stroller:  that's a tough one.  If you don't mind him getting sun, then I would take the umbrella one (b/c it's light and takes up little room)  If you plan to stroll him on the beach, then I would take the jogging stroller.  I'm not much help, huh.

  Toys:  I have no clue on that one!

  Extras:  Anything to keep him entertained in the car.  Does he have a special CD of music or stories he likes?  What about books?  Snacks?  

  Have fun!!

  When we went to the beach, we never used our stroller.  I didn't want to take it out on the beach b/c I knew I'd never be able to get all the sand out of it....ever.  We just got a jogging stroller for the purpose of taking it out on the beach.  You might find that you'll use the Ergo a lot.  We definitely did.

  are you staying the night somewhere?  The only thing we forgot was a nightlight--we were all in one room and wanted a little bit of light to help us see when we crawled into bed.  We did think ahead and brought some outlet covers and we were SO glad we did--he was definitely into trying them out.

   I agree--snacks, entertainment stuff.  We took our lightweight stroller but only used it around the hotel, not at the beach.

   GL and have fun!!

  You girls got me thinking...I won't take the jogging stroller because I do NOT want sand everywhere. We have a hiking backpack carrier that we might use since the house we're staying in is 2nd row. Plus it has a big zippered pocket that I can throw some of J's things in.

  The only thing we'll use the stroller for is if we go shopping one day...J isn't very comfy in the umbrella stroller, but it takes up so much less room. I may have to decide once we get everything in the car & see how much space we have left.  

  Who knew 1 kid could "need" so much stuff?!?!

  We are taking our umbrella stroller which has a lil cover on it so it should shield a lil bit of the sun...The other stroller takes up too much space and like you said these lil guys require so much stuff...its crazy..I think Jack needs more then DH, Stepson and I all together..Have fun and Good luck! I need to work on finishing up my packing!
