Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Lynne, We have a Convaid Safari cruiser. In addition, Lucas has a Quickie wheelchair now due to needing better back support. The Convaid cruiser we got when he was 3 (he is now almost 8). The Safari also reclines so if they get tired they can relax because the back is high and therefore does not require a headrest. We like it because it sits up higher than a wheelchair or stroller and therefore they can see the sights instead of a bunch of rear ends. We also have the all-terrain wheels which is great for going to the fair, his brother's soccer games etc. Good luck and happy hunting.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Is it able to tilt and recline, and does it have head support for when that is needed? Or did you get the Scout? We looked at one, at a wheelchair shop, and it was *very* cool! I worried it would not provide enough support on his bad days, though. Does your son ever need support to keep his head up?
