Hello, can any one help? I need an extra strong pushchair for severely Autistic 6 year old who is too large and strong for traditional pushchair and it's too unsafe and disregulating for him to walk in some places. OT said he needs a buggy but the medical ones are not now available unless there's an actual physical disability. Does anyone have any ideas/advice?
Thankyou.
Mobiquip XL pushchair & The McLaren elite are both pretty similar and are excellent very strong are are suitable until 12 years:
If you ask your GP or OT to put a referral into the NHS wheel chair service they should provide you with a Mobiquip XL free of charge.
Oh sorry I’ve just read your message again, that they won’t provide one for you. Can you appeal the decision? If you receive benefits you could apply to family fund. There’s a charity Caudwell children who may be able to assist you?
