Choosing a Stroller for Children with Disabilities

16th Aug 2023

One of the many important choices you make as a parent is selecting the right stroller for your children. For parents of children with disabilities, this decision takes on even greater significance. WonderFold Wagons have emerged as a remarkable solution, providing unparalleled features that cater to the unique needs of families with children with disabilities. In this blog, we'll explore the factors to consider when choosing a stroller and delve into why WonderFold Wagons stand out as an ideal choice for such families.

Safety 


Ensuring the safety and comfort of your child is paramount. Consider strollers with secure harness systems, padded seats, and adjustable features that accommodate the specific needs of your child.

Wonderful wagons come equipped with a five-point harness. This specialised system secures at the shoulders, hips, and between the legs, effectively distributing impact force across the body and minimising injury risks.

The harness plays a pivotal role for children with disabilities who may struggle with sitting upright. It ensures extra security, comfort and stability.


Wonderfold’s W4 Stroller Wagons exemplify adaptability and comfort. Featuring raised, removable seats and cushioned harnesses, they have all-terrain wheels, suspension, and bearings, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride.

Accessibility 


Wonderfold stroller wagons present greater accessibility for children with disabilities compared to traditional strollers. Wonderful wagons boast a wide entrance, particularly advantageous for children with caregiving assistance.

Additionally, WonderFold wagons have an expansive base. This spacious surface area enhances stability and diminishes tipping risks. It also optimises weight distribution, facilitating effortless carriage pushing.

Despite their larger dimensions, Wonderfold wagons are designed for manoeuvrability, featuring swivelling front wheels and adjustable handlebars. This enables seamless navigation through confined spaces and obstacles while still upholding stability and control.

Most importantly, Wonderful wagons typically feature an enclosed space, offering a haven of security for children who might feel overwhelmed by their surroundings or seek a quieter atmosphere.

Storage


Considering storage space is of utmost importance for parents of children with disabilities, as they often require additional medical equipment during outings.

Opting for an adaptive stroller that can comfortably hold not only your child, but also their necessary supplies (carrying up to 21 stone in weight) is crucial. WonderFold wagons are renowned for their generous storage capacity, boasting pockets on all sides and a spacious pouch at the rear beneath the seats. These options serve as convenient spots for storing larger essentials and accommodating a variety of items.

Real-Life Experiences


Triple Trouble!


WonderFold makes days out with multiples much more manageable, and with the 5-point padded harnesses kids are both comfortable and safe whilst exploring. Mum of triplets, Natasha O’Grady told us: “We have a WonderFold W4 Luxe and it really was life changing for me when I first had the girls, (I have triplets). It was the only way I could ever leave the house on my own so it played a huge part in me not feeling like I’d lost my independence.”
