Specialist Buggies and Accessories for Disabled Children and Young People

Freedom for Kids is an organisation dedicated to helping families with disabled children find the right specialist pushchairs and mobility equipment, and access financial assistance through charity funding.


Where most children move out of a standard pushchair at 3 years old and walk, disabled children are more likely to move into a specialist mobility buggy or in the absence of this, a wheelchair as they require something that suits older, taller and heavier children. Some children become independent as time goes on and either walk or use a powered wheelchair, but a large proportion will continue to need a parent/carer assisted buggy to transport them around. If a second child comes along, or you care for multiple children with additional needs, then finding larger double pushchairs can be even more challenging. That’s where Freedom for Kids can help.

Medical needs and constraints are a prominent feature of everyday life for a parent carer with a disabled child and it can be hard to find information about suitable mobility equipment is available. Freedom for Kids has extensive knowledge and experience, having already helped over 1300 families.

The process starts once you call their helpline, email or contact them via their website or though social media channels. They will have an initial conversation and provide information on suitable pushchair options after understanding your specific needs. Parent carers or professionals working with families can contact Freedom for Kids. Having spoken to you, Freedom for Kids will prepare a quotation, take you through the funding process if financial assistance is required, and help you access funding by providing application forms and contact details of organisations that fund mobility equipment. They carefully match your family to the right organisation to give you the best chance of success and will help you every step of the way.
