I was thinking of that frightful expense of buying a scooter, whilst still struggling to get a diagnosis. Momx7 has been through a whole myriad of tests and examinations that may not always be covered by insurance, and with a family as well, often these tests can be a bit draining on the finances.

I was merely suggesting using the stroller as a way of putting off the purchase a bit longer if possible.

I used to use the shopping trolleys at the supermarket in exactly the same way before I got my rollator, but I understand that in your country scooters are sometimes available for hire. We don't have that option here.
Good suggestion, Koala. If I had thought about it for a minute I would have figured it out......
