Advice re special needs pushchairs

[MUMOF5]

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any way you could get a grant or eligibility for a special needs pushchair, my son has Autism. Sonny is too big for his pushchair now and if he walks anywhere he gets majorly stressed and anxious in crowded areas, which makes taking him to shops/high street etc a no go. However if he is strapped in a pushchair he is less anxious (think he likes the secure feel it gives him ). Ive looked online and you can buy them but they £250, theres no way i can afford that . Any advice will be greatly received. xx

we asked our HV and she referred us for one! worth asking before trying for grants etc. Also have you looked on Ebay? i have noticed they have them on there too
good luck
