Re: wheelchairs vs. mobility scooters

[Guest guest]

Our daughter is three and she uses a power chair for mobility she too can walk but it fatigues her so fast that the rest of her falls apart. She has a custom tilt and recline chair that holds her O2 and monitors as well as her cooler for her cool suit it is great. It took a while to get authorization for but well worth it. It goes to school and was truley a blessing on her wish trip to disney world. I think power is the only way to go !! just an oppinion wheelchairs vs. mobility scooters Does anyone have any advice about using mobility scooters instead ofwheelchairs for long distance walking? Collin can walk fine but cannot walk long without muscle cramps and fatigue, in addition it usestoo much energy putting him into a downward spiral. We are in the process of getting a mobility scooter for him but would like any insight into it. Thanks for the help.
