Scooter recommendations for child with cerebral palsy

I'm looking for recommendations for a scooter for my son. He is 5 and has right side hemiplegia. We live just under a mile from school and I am trying to encourage him to walk to school and from but he gets very tired after the school day and gets very emotional. Parking at the school is a nightmare and we are at the point where he is too big for the pram and I also don't want him to be the only child with a pram in his year. I have been thinking about getting him a tri scooter, which I could then push if he's tired but I can't seem to find one which would be robust, three bigger wheels would be safer, for balance and a wider standing platform. Has anyone else got something similar for their child? I can't seem to find a scooter appropriate. Thanks

How about a zinc scooter then a scooter strap you could pull along if needed.

my son has this. It’s sturdy and folds up so you can carry it home. www.argos.co.uk/product/8845401?clickPR=plp:17:73
