[tri-med] Re: KidKarts

Thanks!
Very good information...
You got the O2 attachment?  We are considering that, tho she isn't on O2 
24/7 right now, she has been in the past... and rolling that around is a 
pain (to say the least).
I would love Claire to be able to sit up with us at the dinner table.  And 
hopefully, with more OT, she will learn to feed herself, as she is eating 
orally... a mom can dream!

Is the Kart hard to fold and unfold... I've heard rumors that they are... 
do they fold up tight, or do they take a lot of room in the car?  Are there 
any considerations I need in requesting additional features?
