Some Key Features of Special needs strollers include:

👍2. They often have adjustable components such as seat depth, backrest angle, and footrests to accommodate growth and specific postural needs, making them suitable for long-term use.
👍3. Designed to be more robust and durable, they can accommodate higher weight limits and are built to withstand frequent use over various terrains.
👍4. Many models include features like reclining seats, padding, and breathable fabrics to ensure the user’s comfort, especially for those who may spend extended periods in the stroller.
👍5. Special needs strollers are designed for easy maneuverability in different environments, whether it’s indoors or on uneven outdoor surfaces.
