do you "lock" your stroller?

If you go somewhere public and leave your stroller (say a park or beach) do you lock your stroller like you'd lock a bike? I know some strollers can cost a small fortune so just wondering what people do.

I have seen them chained.
I just didn't get a $$$ stroller.
Even I think about how easy it would be to take the $1000 stroller parked somewhere...

I don't really leave my stroller unattended, but If I did, I would not lock it. Maybe I have too much faith in humanity, but I think it would take a real piece of trash to steal a stroller.

I don't lock mine, but I get major anxiety if we have to leave it somewhere (zoo). I'm always looking to make sure it's still there. I don't put it past someone to steal a stroller.

Re: do you "lock" your stroller?

I don't lock it up at the park or zoo because we usually try to keep it within sight. If we go to an amusement park & plan to walk a while without it, I will lock it. I always carry the stroller lock with me just in case.

Nope. Only place I ever leave it is at the zoo and it just stays with tons of strollers.

No but the only place I've had to leave it is Disney and Dutch Wonderland. I really wasn't too worried about it being stolen there since there were many identical strollers. I was more worried about the diaper bag. If I had to leave it at a different type of place I might be more concerned.

We've only ever left our stroller at the zoo and at the train show. Both were with other strollers and there wasn't really a place to lock it to, not that we had a lock anyway.

if someone took my stroller I would think they were desperate enough to need it.

my mom told me someone once broke into her car and stole our car seats. she was upset more because they cut the actual seat belt to get them rather than the car seats being stolen. she figured who ever stole the car seat probably needed one badly.

Re: do you "lock" your stroller?

Never locked it.

But I always decorated it so I knew it was mine. Started with our trip to Disney when she was 3. Put purple spider wire tinsel on it. She's 6 and its still on it LOL. (not she doesn't use it, but its in the garage) We always knew which one was ours. No matter were we were or the season the one with the shiny purple spider things is ours. LOL Chat Icon

But we never have anything worth stealing with it and frankly there's always a nicer, cleaner more expensive stroller near ours or someone who leaves a super nice diaper bag etc. Meh.. want mine? Take it.

wait.. technically I did 'lock' it.. the wheels so it wouldn't roll off. LOL Does that count?

Re: do you "lock" your stroller?

I do in disney and the zoo. I lock the front wheel to the frame. My friend had her cheap double stroller stolen at the beach a couple of years ago.. People will steal anything! Never had an issue locking it at disney or the zoo.

Re: do you "lock" your stroller?

I've never even thought about this, I've never left my stroller anywhere... I didn't even know this was common lol. Although I remember once we were supposed to go to a certain restaurant with friends & they told me we had to leave our stroller outside the main entrance & I was like, what? leave my stroller?? and we ended up going somewhere else that didn't require this. I don't have a fancy or expensive stroller but I'd avoid leaving it.
