Pack a baby carrier Your baby will like the carrier because they'll be able to better see everything around them when they're awake, and you'll like it because they're happy and your hands are still free. You can also ride several rides, as long as there isn't a height restriction, while babywearing.

Yes, taking a baby carrier (like an Ergobaby, WildBird, or Tula) to Disneyland is highly recommended and often considered an "essential" by experienced parents. While strollers are great for carrying bags and letting kids nap, a baby carrier allows you to keep your hands free while navigating tight crowds, boarding the Disneyland Railroad, or standing in attraction queues. Most importantly, you can wear your baby on all "Any Age" attractions (rides without height requirements), such as it's a small world, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Haunted Mansion. This is a huge advantage as it keeps the baby secure and calm in dark or loud environments. In 2026, Disneyland also has "Baby Care Centers" in both parks where you can take a break from the carrier to change, feed, or just sit in the AC. Using a carrier in combination with a stroller gives you the best of both worlds: a place for the baby to sleep and a way to stay mobile without constantly having to park your stroller at every "Stroller Parking" zone.
