Hi, my daughter is 3 she will be 4 in february. She has autism and is non verbal. She is still in her pushchair due to not liking walking and for her safety, but the one I've got is getting too small. She has a cosatto pushchair but she gets really irritated in it. She can't sit fully upright in it as its too relaxed back, she always looks like she's sliding down. She's quite tall so her head isn't far from the top. There's no chance of her having a nap in it her head is nearly at the top. She's going to be in a pushchair for a while yet, has anyone got any suggestions of a good pushchair for an older toddler? Preferably something that folds down small aswell as the boot of my car is quite small. The special needs pushchairs are too big at the moment. Any suggestions would be great thankyou.

At nearly 4, the cosatto pushchair being too small and needing the buggy for the foreseeable future, I would look at an SN pushchair. They are unlikely to be too big. There are many suitable from preschool age. Have a look at the Excel Elise, Mobiquip XL, Special Tomato EIO, and Special Tomato jogger. The first 2 fold smaller than the last 2.

There are a few buggies such as the baby jogger city mini that sometimes fit bigger DC, but any normal pushchair is likely to be too small or will become too small relatively quickly.

I'd have a look at the baby jogger/3 wheel type like out and about nipper and Phil and Ted's.
