There are multiple safety issues, ranging from being trampled by the crowds to being ejected from some of the rides to being able to slip under safety railings or barriers. A 6 year old can’t be trusted to heed warnings and avoid potentially dangerous situations, especially considering her weight and size.

So maybe a stroller in combination with a backpack or chest perch carried by an adult may be the best option for her enjoying the adventure park. 18 pounds isn’t tooheavy a weight to be carried on an adults back for a short time, but for a 3 or 4 hour day at the park, having a stroller to transition to would make for an ideal arrangement.

Rather than finding ways for a small child to fit into an adult or big kids world, also consider ways for adults and big kids to fit into a small child’s world.

Another thought is to be careful and be ready about exposing your daughter to possible emotionally abusive situations with big crowds. Our friends child was severely burned in a house fire that had multiple injuries and a death. After months of skin grafts, medical care, etc., the child had to wear pressure clothing, including a whole face pressure mask. His parents took him to an amusement park where he was hit on by a band of older kids pointing him out and yelling “LOOK, a Martian!”

i would suggest keeping in mind her limitations . i understand taht if she actually exists youd want her to experience life as close to "normal" as possible but i think to do that could cause unnecessary strain on you and her. the last thing you need is a spoiled kid who thinks youre gonna bend the world to her needs.

Yes in regard to being allowed on some rides.x
