I need ideas folks..my 6 y/o has a auto-immune disease that attacks her joints. She gets tired easily and will get sore quickly and on vacation we will be doing a lot of active things hiking sightseeing etc. She is not a little person she is 4ft 1in and 73lbs so too big for a regular stroller...ideas?

    At 4'1 and 73 lbs she would not be able to sit on anyone's shoulders like that.

    Have you thought about a wagon that you could pull her around in?

    I dont kno about hiking but maybe you can get her a scooter for sight seeing and maybe take long rests? Thats my best thought

    that's still quite small. I could handle a kid that size on my shoulders.
    Hell, today I was hauling 160lbs of salt bags on my shoulders. Those were much more difficult to balance than a child.

    I often piggy back my child who is 66lb and 4'6" it's a pretty good workout I night add

    Maybe you should consider a vacation that would accommodate your daughter better? One with lots of sitting on the beach and relaxing comes to mind :)

    (Said with just 16 days to go until our next beach vacation....)
