hi,
We are off to the world in a few weeks, and not too sure whether to take a buggy or not. My ds is nearly 6, and has a lot of sensory difficulties, at home we don't use a buggy however we don't do anything near the scale of Disney. Last time we were there he was 4 and we took a stroller and he sometime sat in it and sometimes didn't, he is very up and down one minute he will be coping fine the next not. When he did need to sit in the stroller he often wanted to pull the canopy right over him, and had sensory toys to help him. He doesn't need it for walking but I know sometimes it's space he needs and that chill out time as Disney is overwhelming for any child let alone a child with special needs. We have never been at xmas before so I'm expecting big crowds and just not sure if he might need to stroller almost like his safe space that he knows is his but can still experience what's going on. Obviously we will take breaks where needed but do I bring the old stroller we have at home, or do I see how he gets on and then just rent a Disney one if we need one? Also worried everyone is going to judge that he is sitting in a stroller as he is quite tall although nothing to him, so although he is under the weight limit for our old stroller we still have imo he looks big it it, I just don't know what to do.
