Pushchair for disabled child

Hi
looking for a new pushchair for our 4yr old disabled daughter whiles we wait for wheel services (unfortunately there’s a long waiting list in our area and we are really struggling when out and about) and hoping for some recommendations or advice. She currently 14.9kg and 96-97cm tall.
currently using a bugaboo donkey which had been great (although she now looking a bit big in it) along with her baby brother and a silver cross pop- where looking at replacing the pop as it has become really awkward and hard to manoeuvre.

where currently looking at

the mountain buggy urban jungle
Uppababy ridge
Thule glide 3
MQ XL Stroller (although we do a lot of dog walking over various terrains and is doesn't recline)

where after coming that feels stable and easy to push that still has a bit of room for her and some support with a decent harness- the plan is that her brother can use it once she not longer is. And recommendations on advice would be great.

Have you tried the NewLife charity? They provide equipment for disabled children? Absolute life saver for us when we needed a disabled car seat.

I think most of the ones you suggest won’t be suitable as she grows, I work next to a SEN school (we do a lot of work with the 16-17 year olds, but see everyone else arrive/leave) and a lot of the children have something similar to the one I posted. It’s also not that expensive when compared to a wheelchair, it all depends on how much tilt, padding, trunk support etc your daughter needs.

Depending on her needs, if you're looking to invest in something that will last a while rather than just a stop gap, the Special Tomato disability buggies are fab. I think I paid about 1000 brand new with all the additions, and sold it for about 300 without a mark on it. You might be able to get one reasonably priced second hand. The jogger model in particular is great for dog walking off road. You can get positioning aids etc as well if needed
