3 year old in wheelchair - help?

[Gracie09]

Some strollers are made with tiedown spots, and are designed to be ridden in on buses. But not all strollers are designed as such. have you ever seen the larger strollers made for children with disabilities? My cousin has one for her daughter. It has tie-down spots, and her daughter gets buckled in just like a wheelchair user gets buckled in. She wheels it onto the buses, as her daughter is too heavy to carry, and can't support herself well in a wheelchair.

which is why I said unless you have a stroller with tie down you cannot tie down the stroller. See above. A stroller a parent would have for a child who broke his leg and not a child who has a disability that requires a full time adaptive strollers would not be able to be tied down. And not even all the strollers made for larger children with disabilities are made with tie downs. The stroller as a wheelchair tag does not automatically provide for allowing the parent to tie down a stroller if the stroller does not have that capability.

You are both saying the same thing.

I believe the important part to actually highlight is that the vast majority of strollers in use at WDW, even with a stroller-as-wheelchair tag, are not designed for use with tie downs. Not even all special needs strollers can be used on buses. Most likely if you don't own such a stroller, you will not be renting one, therefore guests should plan to fold the stroller for use on buses. Whether or not a bus driver will allow you to push a stroller through the back doors and then fold it seems to be variable; the stroller-as-wheelchair tag does not necessarily guarantee this will be allowed.

You can ask the bus driver if you need to roll the child onto the bus. You just have to line up at the HC spot. Some guests in strollers cannot get out of the stroller, and have an adult help them walk onto the bus and get the stroller in as well.

As ladyjane pointed out, I said that as well. Don't know why you are arguing about it? But you can get one, doesn't matter what the disability is.

Ok - strollers being tied down on the bus has been discussed and doesn't n Ed any more discussion.
