Special Needs Double Stroller

Check out our new "GSV1" or better known as the "Ghetto Stroller".  

We added a tree-swing from wall mart to Jamies Convaid Scout Special Needs Stroller to allow us to be able to get around with both kids in 1 stroller and for my wife to be able to take walks. My wife could not go anywhere with the baby and Jamie (at least nowhere they had to walk very far), and we couldn't find a suitable double stroller for 1 child with special needs and a baby, or a stroller that could accomodate Jamie (70lbs) and the baby (20lbs) at the same time.

The entire conversion was about $60 bucks and included the following:

• Tub-Style tree swing
• We used D-Clips and Climber clips to hang the stroller from the handlebars but I might have rather used the dclips on the top and eye hooks in the swing
• A piece of metal to go from the bottom of the tree-swing to the "X" bolt on the stroller
• A thin piece of steel to go under the tree swing for the metal to bolt to.  This was overkill as a couple of washers top and bottom would be fine
• An old high chair with a 5-point harness or seat belt. We just cut slits in the tree-swing for the top 4 points and used the same bolt in the bottom to grab the crotch strap
• A bike training "handle" that you can find at wall mart to extend the handlebars.  If you are lucky, it fits right into the old handle bar holes. We heated and bent the bars using a simple $10 torch a electrical conduit pipe bender.

The biggest issue is that baby cannot be in the stroller without Jamie as it would tip. Not a big issue unless we are alone taking him to the bathroom.  Drop a comment for help converting your stroller.
