Pediatric stroller/wheelchair question

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone!

Any suggestions for a light, umbrella-type stroller with support?

KidCart is kind of heavy!! Rasha is 16 months- 29 1/2 " all and 19 lbs.

Thanks!!

Hi Janay,

I don't know how much support you are looking for, but we bought an

inexpensive " Jeep " umbrella stroller at Toys 'R' Us about 5 months ago (it was

in the $29-39 range). At the time, Evan was just starting to sit up on his own

and was about 21-22 lbs. We were only needing to take his portable suction pump

and sometimes his food pump. It has become our favorite set of " going-out "

wheels because it's light and folds compactly. He still fits it (now is 26 lbs

and is starting to be more mobile). The only downside is there isn't a basket

underneath to put stuff, so we would have to carry the suction pump (or put it

in the cart). We have found you can hang lighter bags (like his feeding pump)

facing backwards over the handles.

Over-all, we are very happy with this stroller. And it's a lot cheaper than

getting one specifically for special needs.

Thanks! I was planning on asking her PT this week what his opinion

is of how much support she needs. She can't sit unsupported yet and

purposely turns her head to the ceiling to look at the lights.

I'll check that one out.
