Hi Sara, boy do I agree. It has made such a difference for 's feeling

of safety; especially on Doctor or hospital visits. They will usually allow

her to stay in her chair for as long as possible...blood pressure check, ear

check etc. and she is much less anxious and fearful. If she has to get on the

table she immediately wants to get right back in the chair and be buckled up.

Yea, same thing here Sherry. If it weren't for Maddie's stroller, they

would NEVER get a bp on her!!!!!

we love ours too, nathan got to pick out hte color of his even, :) he choose

a purple. and we chose wheels for more terrain type of stuff, we keep it in

our trunk and use it when we goto walmart (its a super walmart so huge) or the

mall or fairs, sometimes he will just ask for it when ata store, but i do

encourage him to walk at the grocery store, occasionally he has it in his head

that

he still fits in the cart,lol its a quick shopping trip these days, uuug. ITs

a godsend tonot and try to pick him up off teh floor or lift him into the

cart, and he can wheel that thing around like hes always been in one,hmm go

figure. shawna
