Wheelchair tag?

[Jre1206]

I keep seeing stroller/wheelchair tag pop up. What is a wheelchair tag? Im leaving for wdw in 9 days and ill have an ECV for the first time. Do i need a wheelchair tag and if so, how do i get one? Thanks!

A stroller as a wheelchair tag allows parents to bring strollers on lines and in places where they normally would not be permitted. They are essentially treated as a wheelchair. (Exception does buses where they still have to be folded and the child removed). If you have a wheelchair there is no need for a special tag as the cm will recognize it as a wheelchair and direct you accordingly

Most of the time, parents of young children with disabilities (younger than 5) will use a normal everyday stroller as a wheelchair because most of the time insurance won’t cover a custom-made manual/power wheelchair until the kid turns 5.

Other times, people who use “Medical Strollers” (like the one below) get the tag as confirmation for it being a mobility device.
