Wheelchair / Stroller Combinations

Question: Have you heard of wheelchairs with strollers attached? I have an infant and my elderly father to tote around. ~Val

Answer: I haven't seen any of these devices on the market, but I do know people have created their own wheelchair-baby carrier combinations. People have attached some sort of seat to the wheelchair that holds the child in it via a seatbelt. However, these contraptions may be used only around the house. You can check with some of the different wheelchair manufacturers to see if they have anything on the market to help you out. You could also go to a custom wheelchair maker to see if one could be designed for you with both the infant and wheelchair user's safety in mind. There are websites and organizations that specialize in products for parents with disabilities. Parents that are confined to wheelchairs may also need to carry their child with them on a wheelchair. One of these organizations may be able to help you.
