Stroller as wheelchair for mom's needs?

[POOHDRMR]

I will be traveling with my 7 month old and I am the one that has the issue-not him.Do you think it would be a problem to be able to keep him in the stroller on lines.I can't physically hold him on the lines for very long(I have RA that kicked in high gear during the pregnancy)I am familiar with GAC and have traveled before with my special needs nephew that uses a wheelchair but that was for him and this isn't because my son needs it but mine.TIA

You are traveling with him alone?

If you talk to GS about your needs they should be able to assist you. I use a GAC to use my DS (19 months) stroller as a wheelchair because I use it as a walker at the parks. I am unable to take him by my self if I must use my walker.

I am traveling with my 9 yr old dd and dh but dh doesn't do the parks very much with us.I take my dd to MK by myself and I wouldn't be able to hold him that long alone.He loves being in the stroller since I have to do this at home alot with him when he is fussy because I can't hold him and walk.We are staying at Poly this trip so I can take the monorail to MK and not have to manage him alone on a bus.

I have heard of others using a stroller as wheelchair if they cannot hold the child - if you are going to be going to the parks by yourself, then you should be able to get a GAC.

I don't see any problem with the OP going alone with her 7mo. If that is the accomodation she needs to enjoy her day, then I don't see any problem with it!!

I have heard of it too.
You just need to be able toexplain why this is an accommodation for you. A 9 yr old could not reasonably be expected to hold an infant in lines. With only one adult, you will need assistance.
