The average 2 year old can stand up and walk short distances so getting from a car with an able bodied two year old is easier than getting a disabled 2 year old out of a car and into a buggy which is often larger than an average toddlers buggy to accommodate the needs of the disabled child (one with hips in a plaster cast for example). The gaps between cars in an average car park are too narrow for the manoeuvering required to get a disabled 2 year old from car to buggy too.
