Major Buggy

 

This buggy is produced by Maclaren. It has a removable footrest which can be positioned at three different heights. If you think your child needs one, speak to your physiotherapist who can refer you to your local wheelchair service. There are different types supplied according to the needs of your child.

For the first few months of use it vas extremely difficult to fold the buggy so you may need to purchase some WD40 or similar. Its not easy to hold your child and fold the buggy at the same time, although it does fold in the same way as many other pushchairs. A particularly useful feature is that the brakes work when the buggy is folded down, so it can stand independently.

This buggy is so stylish that I have been approached on more than one occasion and asked where I got it. Mothers are slightly embarrassed when I tell them the reason I have it!

As discussed in the Aids and Therapies page, the buggy does not come with a rain cover or parasol and because the frame is 'square' traditional covers do not fit. You will need to contact the supplier to purchase these separately. A handbook should be supplied in which you will find contact details.
