Using a Stroller as a Wheelchair at WDW

This tag is a lifesaver for special needs parents. It allows their child to remain buckled in place until it is time to board a ride which is important when a child does not understand danger and would run in front of a moving ride vehicle without thinking of the consequences. It keeps the child safe from running off and getting lost since the child cannot speak and cannot tell a cast member their name when asked. It allows a child to sit in their safe place of comfort during shows that contain loud noises and unfamiliar sites that are certain to set off a meltdown despite the weighted blanket on their lap and the ear plugs in their ears. It also helps a child with difficulty walking due to foot and leg issues to remain in their stroller during long days at the parks where their legs would fatigue and give out.

The stroller as wheelchair tag combined with the guest assistance card are life saving devices for parents of children with specials needs, who are overwhelmed with how their child will deal with all of the sights and sounds of the park. These parents just want to share the joy of Disney with their child while understanding that extra precautions must be taken to keep their child safe and happy.
