reclining medical stroller for 6 yr old? rental?

[alisonslp]

I know there are some places that rent strollers for larger children and was wondering if anyone had recommendations.

I have a 6 yr old who just had emergency surgery for a hernia. It was more involved than expected for this type of surgery and I anticipate that he will still have some soreness in the abdominal and groin area when we go down in 2 wks. So I'm looking for a reclining stroller that will fit his size (50 lbs).

The previous times we have gone, we have just used a regular McClaren stroller because he also has leg problems. Worked really well and we planned on that again but with the abdominal soreness, I would prefer a reclining one and since we really don't need another stroller for home, I don't want to buy one - besides, the reclining ones are so bulky, I don't know if it will fit in the car for the ride down.

Thanks!

Try OrlandoStrollerRentals.com They have a special needs jogging stroller that seems to be just what you are looking for. I haven't ever rented from them {I am in Feb.} but I believe they are DIS sponsors.

I've rented from them before and they're awesome! I know they have a couple of options that would fit your needs well.

Thanks! I emailed their rep to see which stroller will be best for his size! Looks like exactly what we are looking for!
