Seems like we were able to fold it and stow it near the WC section...I do not remember my Mama sitting in it much on the bus because she hated having to use it ( not that she didn't appreciate it). I think we only loaded her seated once or twice until we got use to the routine. I think Daddy may have been able to hold it in front of him if the bus wasn't crowded, but maybe he had to load it from the back. Seems he would stand with it empty when the bus pulled up and Mama just used her cane to enter at the front with us guarding/guiding her . They just got back from a month in Europe with my brother and four grandchildren touring. She got a
scooter for that trip that comes apart and folds down. Have you thought about getting one of those so he can have a bit more independence? Daddy is able to take it apart and put in trunk at home ( he is 80) and then on flights they just check it at gate and easily slip out the battery. She would ride it to the airplane door and they would take it from there. She was gung ho to take the WC to Europe after the positive experience at WDW...but knew they would be moving at a much faster pace with kids ages 9-18. She says she could never have made it without I.E. ( her scooter's name). Just wanted you to know that they make smaller scooter's like that now and maybe that would be a good option too.
She said anytime she got out the scooter on the trip...a grandchild was on it when she turned around
