Hi, @jessica16xx welcome to the community and thanks to @thespiceman for tagging me into the conversation. There are many options for children's pushchairs. An Occupational Therapist would be the best person to recommend a suitable pushchair, your grandaughter's paediatrician should refer her to one for assessment and it should be possible to receive one through the NHS but the wait time can be quite long.
In the meantime here are some ideas of what is available:
The Mobility Centre for Buggys and Pushchairs
Scope
Specialist Information Officer and Cerebral Palsy Programme Lead'Concerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.'
