Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help. I have an autistic daughter who is 10 and we are flying for the first time in over 2 weeks. I am looking for a stroller for her and was wondering if anyone knew of any places that maybe rents them out? They are quite expensive to buy and I would only need it for 10 days. Also if anyone has any tips for getting through the airport would be great
Hi and welcome to the community!
1. Stroller
Whilst I don't have any experience of either this rental provider or product, I found this potential option for you online:
"The MobiQuip XL is a special needs pushchair that can grow with your child to 10 years old or up to 50kg in body weight."
They can deliver nationwide within the UK.
More info: Tiny Explorers
2. Airport help
The NAS has a great article that offers advice for parents and carers about going on holiday. It includes:
NAS - How to get help at the airport
The UK's Civil Aviation Authority also has lots of information about air travel, including how to access special assistance:
Civil Aviation Authority - Passenger and Public
If you don't already have one, you might like to buy a Hidden Disabilities sunflower card and lanyard (customised versions are also available):

Hope this is helpful and that you have a great holiday! :)
