[QUOTE="Autismkids, post: 444884, member: 8756"] DS's insurance paid for it. His pediatrician at the time was amazing and had no problems submitting medical necessity letters. We had a physical therapist from a DME come evaluate him. I put him in 3 different strollers so she could see how he would climb out, but with the potential to get hurt. She measured him for proper fit, and measured ME. This was important because the stroller I wanted would have been huge for me to push. I'm only 5'. His has a foot plate, a basket (medical needs), a 5 pt harness, thigh straps that buckle under the seat, and a chest strap that buckles in the back. In a good mood he could still get out of all this. However, in a bad mood, he couldn't spin the straps to get them off. We also have a car harness by EZ-on products of florida. I have a car, but a body shop was able to install the buckles meant for an SUV or minivan. I needed this set up because the one meant for the car still used the car's seatbelt and he could get out of it. The last year (since we moved) has been much better with regards to the aggression, running away, and attacking. Before the move he had to be strapped to go into 7-11 to get his slurpee! [/QUOTE]
