From a Regular Stroller to a Travel-Friendly Solution: A Father’s Search for the Right Chair for His 8-Year-Old

“Online समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि क्या customization या changes चाहिए। इसलिए मैं Jaipur आया, live demo देखा और बच्चे के हिसाब से EasyGo में changes final किए।”

For Mr. Danzar Hussain from Kolkata, travelling with his 8-year-old child had gradually become more difficult.

The family had been using a regular stroller for mobility. But as their child grew and reached approximately 20–22 kg, the stroller was no longer meeting their needs comfortably.

One problem concerned them in particular.

During movement, their child’s feet could move inward towards the stroller wheels and sometimes get caught near them. Combined with the child's increasing weight, this made the family realise they needed to move beyond a conventional stroller.

They wanted something supportive, lightweight and foldable—but importantly, something practical enough to travel with.

Their search eventually led them from Kolkata to Morecare’s manufacturing facility in Jaipur, where they could physically evaluate the Morecare EasyGo and decide exactly what needed to be adapted for their child.

The journey

When the Regular Stroller Was No Longer Enough

For several years, the family had been managing their child’s mobility using a conventional stroller. As their child grew, however, the limitations became increasingly noticeable. At around 20–22 kg, travelling with the regular stroller was becoming more difficult. More importantly, the child's feet could move inward during use and come close to the wheels, sometimes getting caught around the wheel area. For the family, this was a clear sign that it was time to look for a mobility solution designed around an older child’s needs rather than continue adapting to a conventional stroller.

Discovering Morecare Through Instagram

The search for an alternative began online. Mr. Hussain’s wife discovered Morecare through Instagram, after which the family started researching the available products in greater detail. Their priority was particularly clear:

They needed something suitable for travelling.

Among the available options, the Morecare EasyGo Travel Wheelchair appeared closest to what they were looking for. It was lightweight, foldable and designed to be easier to manage during travel. But choosing a product online raised another question.

Why an Online Decision Wasn’t Enough

Photographs, videos and specifications helped the family understand the EasyGo, but Mr. Hussain still wasn't completely comfortable finalizing the configuration remotely. Every child has different body dimensions, positioning needs and habits. He wanted to understand physically what would work for his child and what modifications might be useful. When an upcoming trip brought him to Delhi, he decided to extend the journey and travel to Jaipur. His objective was simple: See the product himself before finalizing it.

Travelling to Morecare’s Jaipur Facility

Mr. Hussain visited Morecare’s manufacturing facility in Jaipur and received a live demonstration of the EasyGo. He was shown how the product worked, how it folded and how it could be used during travel. He also explored Morecare’s broader range of indoor and outdoor rehabilitation and mobility products. For him, seeing the equipment physically was very different from evaluating it through a screen. It also gave him the opportunity to discuss the specific problems the family had experienced with their existing stroller.

Choosing EasyGo for Travel

After physically evaluating the chair, Mr. Hussain finalized the Morecare EasyGo Travel Wheelchair for his child. One of the biggest reasons was practicality during travel. Its relatively lightweight construction and folding design made it easier to manage when the family needed to move between locations. For a family that travels, the ability to fold, carry and transport the chair was not simply an additional feature. It was one of the main selection criteria.

Customizing Around His Child

The visit also confirmed why Mr. Hussain had wanted to evaluate the product personally. Rather than taking the EasyGo exactly as a standard configuration, he discussed changes according to his child. Particular attention was given to the footrest and foot-positioning area, considering the problem they had experienced with the child's feet moving towards the wheels of their previous stroller. He also discussed changes to the belt/support arrangement and suggested improvements around the arm support that could make the chair more comfortable for his child. This was precisely what had been difficult to determine online. By physically evaluating the EasyGo, he could identify which adjustments actually mattered for his child before finalizing the chair.

More Than a Chair for Today

Mr. Hussain’s visit also gave him an opportunity to understand equipment that might become relevant as his child grows. He explored other Morecare solutions for indoor mobility, supported standing and walking. For him, this created the possibility of returning to the same place as his child's requirements change rather than beginning a completely new search each time. His recommendation to other parents was therefore not simply about one wheelchair. It was about finding a place where they could see, understand and customize rehabilitation equipment according to their child.

— A Caregiver's Perspective

"“हम normally stroller use करते थे, लेकिन बच्चे का weight बढ़ने के कारण travelling में काफी problem होने लगी थी। उसका पैर अंदर wheel की तरफ चला जाता था और कभी-कभी फँस भी जाता था। मेरी wife को Instagram पर Morecare के बारे में पता चला। हमने काफी research किया और travelling purpose के लिए EasyGo हमें suitable लगा। Online हमें पूरी तरह समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि बच्चे के हिसाब से क्या customization या changes करने चाहिए। मेरा Delhi का trip था, इसलिए मैं Jaipur आया और Morecare की factory में live demo देखा। EasyGo lightweight है, easily fold हो जाता है और travelling के लिए practical लगा। बच्चे के हिसाब से footrest और belt system में कुछ changes भी discuss किए। मुझे सबसे अच्छी बात ये लगी कि यहाँ manufacturing और customization दोनों available हैं। जो parents अपने special child के लिए इस तरह के products ढूँढ रहे हैं, मैं उन्हें recommend करूँगा कि Morecare से जरूर connect करें।” — Mr. Danzar Hussain, Kolkata"

— Why This Solution Was Recommended

"The family was not looking for a heavy everyday wheelchair. Their primary requirement was travel. They needed something that could provide more appropriate support than the conventional stroller they had been using while remaining relatively lightweight, compact and manageable when travelling. The Morecare EasyGo Travel Wheelchair was selected around these priorities. Its foldable design makes it easier to transport, while its supportive seating configuration provides a more appropriate mobility option for children who require additional positioning compared with a conventional stroller. For this family, the ability to discuss foot positioning and support adjustments was particularly important because of the problems they had experienced with their previous stroller."
