It seems like alot of people here were a bit faster in realizing when to get a
wheelchair for their kids. I think Morgan was nearly 3 yrs. old when we got
his KidKart. We had been using a regular stroller before that, although, as
the others mentioned he did tend to scrunch down in it. Morgan wasn't a big
"leaner" per se, but he did alot of sacral sitting. We had that KidKart for 5
yrs., it was the larger one (they make two sizes), we just recently gave it to
our DME supplier, they knew of a family who couldn't get one otherwise. Morgan
has had his Quickie wheelchair for 2 yrs. now, we have loved it, too. He has
already almost outgrown this one. Yikes!
