I belong to some other groups due to his other issues...I asked about 'big kid' strollers and found a great one (Maclaren Major) but it's expensive....$500+++.  I want to 'get all my ducks in a row' before contacting my insurance company and was wondering if anyone has had success getting one paid for? 

I know at some point, if this flare doesn't get control, we should think about a wheelchair...but honestly I am so not ready for that mentally...this is all still so new to us.  We go to the pedi tomorrow for his six year check up and I am going to talk to her about this, as well as his rheumy on Monday.  But I am hoping against hope someone with a JIA child has gotten this paid for.  My 'friends' at the other site have gotten insurance (medicaid even) to pay for strollers...but they have other issues.

Thanks!
