Well, just got off the phone with Care, Walker and Colonial. The smallest wheelchairs they have are 16" transporters, rated for "slim adult". None of these companies has kid size. Someone reccommended A Baby's Best Friend, if you are looking, do not bother, they do not have anything other than stollers, no wheelchairs for kids. Most of the companies thought the 16" with a leg lift would be O.K. for our 55", 75 pound son. Opinions?
(Ha! Jokes on us, we are off to WDW sans 87 y o g'ma and wheelchair, older cousin with bad hip, and the rest of the extended Florida relatives, and what happens??? Our ten year old son wrecks his knee and needs a rental wheelchair, hence the info above, gma needs respite care and a simple trip has turned into the most complicated ever! Got an installer coming to put in an emergency alert, going today to check out a senior day-care, have a doctor friend checking on g'ma next week, neighborhood kid coming to water and do a welfare check, sheesh, still gotta go get groceries and freeze some meals.....)
