My 5 year old daughter has come to the point where we need a special needs stroller or wheelchair for her. She's probably around 44" or so and 40 lbs. I really don't want anything too big or complicated at this point because honestly alot of the time when we go out, we still use our twin baby jogger city series stroller since our younger daughter wants a ride too, but there are occasions that we do need a single mobility device for my other daughter. She still has a fair amount of trunk control. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what they use or started out with? Our PM and R doc is suggesting a Kid Kart (he didn't specify which of the two models), but I'm not all that crazy about the look of it. I know, it's a silly consideration, but it matters to me. Any input would be appreciated.

Hello, Kid Carts used to be (may still be) the closest thing to looking like a stroller available. The one problem I found was their durability. As for compact design, that was good. I used a single seat jogging stroller for the longest time, until she outgrew it. I now use a Zippie.
I had to do some adaptive modifications to the off the shelf jogging stroller (foot rests), but it worked well for a long time.
Good luck.

We had a very simple Convaid Stroller. Looks similar to a stroller, very easy to unfold, fairly lightweight, definitely get the big wheels. The only problem is these strollers are not designed to be in for long periods of time. You will have to consider something else soon for posture/ comfort levels. Good Luck!

My son is 6 and though he is still mobile, he really needs some extra assistance. We are in the process of ordering a Jazz Easy stroller. It has many features that a wheelchair has. Jacob's is being ordered with a tray, a basket underneath and extra storage backpack sort of thing that can detatch, canopy, rain cover, tie downs (which allow it to still be locked in place on a bus/van, and it is a tilt in space system. The tilt in space is a wonderful feature as Jacob sleeps a lot and is losing more trunk support. It is also a reversable seat so you can have the child face you (can't use tray in that position). The handle is adjustable and folds down. It also fits under restaraunt tables. Here is a link. I hope it goes through! www.adaptivemall.com/thjaeastsi2.html

You may have already seen these but I heard of a family here in the UK who have used a thing called a buggypod to attach to a wheelchair so that they can transport their younger unaffected child at the same time. It looks a really great invention . Dont know if you can get it in the USA as its not listed on the websites distribution list but perhaps there is something similar. Sorry this is really about a wheelchair as such but thought it might solve a problem...I cant see anywhere on the website for use with a wheelchair but I think it can be? www.revelo.co.uk/products_buggypod-smorph.php

We had a Convaid cruiser stroller. Worked very well. It was light and folded like an umbrella stroller. We started there and transitioned into a wheelchair as my son lost trunk and neck strength.
