Stroller Help Please

[staceyhzoo]

Hi Everyone,
This board has been so helpful in the past so I hope you can steer me in the correct direction.
DD5 has SPD and is probably ASD (we are in process of diagnosis). Last trip (Oct 2010) we took 2 strollers for her to chose from: Maclaren Triumph and Chicco Cortina. The Macleren was horrible. She hated it and honestly it was a piece of junk (I sold it on craigslist last week). She is currently 47lbs and we are going back in Dec and I will either have to purchase or rent another stroller since she is going to be way over the limit for the Chicco. I will have a smaller stroller for DS (will be 3 by the time we leave)
I looked at renting and it is an option, but should I just buy a stroller instead. We go every year so I think buying is better but I would love any input.
Please give me types of stroller options.
Thanks!!

If you are going to be going every year and your daughter is going to need the stroller for several years more, then I vote to buy a good special needs stroller that can handle her weight for years to come.

If you don't think that she will only need the stroller for one or 2 more years, then I say rent. I know the strollers that can handle more weight needs, can cost quite a bit.

There are just one perfect stroller, and that are the Special Tomato® EIO Push Chair

And the company is specialtomato.com.

Perfect to sit in, perfect to sleep in, and perfect to hide inside

Very low wheight. Can be taken as a free wheelchair in almost every airplane.

Swiwel front wheels make this one driven by one finger, everywhere.

Can be jused as a open chair, or as a quiet nest for sleeping.

I have had this for 2 years, ten hollidays, and i still almost like new!

This is for kids from about two years and up til around seven years.

We have this for my DD she loves it, http://www.1800wheelchair.ca/product/4535/convaid-ez-rider-bus-and-van-transit-model

Mybe as she's got a diagnosis insurance will pay for it, also check places like march of dimes as they sometimes have lending programs.
