Hi, I've seen people go about with their kids on a sort of harness/leash type combo. Don't know where you'd get one but it might be worth googling for.

we have tryed harmesses and he is even worse when we put them on he gose doolally (has a temper tantrum ) then starts hitting and bitting and i think the rains might hurt him even tho they are the right size

we did look in to the buggys that go on the back of a bick be he wouldnt stay in there even with the harness on

i might be barking up the wrong tree here i dont know i just need a bigger pushchair

gaaaaaaaa i cant keep pushing him in the little one we have its so tiring and for him uncomertable

am i the only person who is annoyed that everything is made for kids half his size ? even his cloths are 5-6 grumble grumble grumble

Hi again, sorry, I'm not a parent myself so I don't know what else to suggest. You could try posting your original message on the parents forum.

25kg is more like 55lbs. Man, that's a big kid. I was only 51lbs at 10 years old.

I did a search on strollers (that's what we call them in the US) that hold up to 80lbs. It told me that most of the "jogging" stollers hold up to 80lbs. I found this stroller:
http://www.amazon.com/InStep-Cruiser-Do ... B000EI2NTY
It says it holds up to 100lbs.

Could always go the "silence of the lambs" route with the board strapped to a hand cart and do the whole straightjacket/muzzle/strapped down while standing thing.

Might not be too comfortable but would definately make an impression :P

Keep on at social services. Do you have a socail worker responsible for your son? If so, get onto them and keep calling them until you get a result. A year is a long time to wait if you need to get to Asdas today.
There is a big problem in social services in the UK. It seems as though the more vocal you are, the more attention and help you get. We are big on equal rights in the UK, take advantage of that fact.
Your local council have an obligation to help you and your son. Keep pushing them.

Have you looked at the NAS website?

Hi

I was looking into this a while ago for my son.

Maclaren make a buggy for children (tested up to 110lbs/50kg) called the Major Elite http://www.maclarenmajor.com/

It's pretty expensive (the cheapest I saw was around £200), but you should be able to get one via your health visitor, or second hand
