Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi Tamara: I know can walk at times, but if you are looking for easy walking over uneven surfaces, etc. for pushing we got a kidkart for our daughter. But if you go to a medical supply place they will be able to guide you in the direction you need to go and actually have several pieces of equipment for you to see and try in. At least our place does. Leah can't walk, but has good support, but we chose the kidkart because it has larger wheels to go on blacktop and even the grass fairly easy compared to a stroller, and it's back can recline, but what else I like about it is the height. It is a little higher than a wheelchair so if we would go to the zoo or such, she can see better and it goes right up to table height. It doesn't allow the arms to go under the table; but it includes a tray that we use when we go out and she can't be close to the table to eat. Also if you go to FlagHouse.com you will be able to see strollers there. I love our kidkart now and am so glad to have gotten it. At first I didn't want that " wheelchair " look, but my two boys can push Leah in it easily, too. Of course she is only may be 31 lbs. if that. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 try checking out this link for some options http://www.adaptivemall.com you have to do searches online under pediatric wheelchairs, but then you will find stroller type chairs, buggies, etc.. as well we just got a convaid crusaire for my son . His dad thinks it's wonderful. for me the jury is still out...i'm having a hard time with pushing it but I think it's because of my fybromyalgia.... good luck! ps. if your insurance won't pay for one..or you can't afford one yourself...we were able to get 's payed for through the muscular dystrophy association Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
