I am considering when we can plan a trip to WDW. My son has fibular hemimelia (congenital lack of fibulas) what makes him very short, however that height difference is from the knees down. In a seated position he is about an inch taller than his sister who is the same age. (standing there is a at least a 6 " difference between the two.)
This leaves me with a few questions:
1. I understand that height restrictions are important for safety, but how are they doing that? I'm not arguing with them, merely trying to find out how they function. For example, a carseat booster "for children over x height" may not work for my son because he may not be tall enough by the number, but he may be too tall in the torso for a smaller carseat. That height guide assumes a child has proportional arms/ legs/ torso. Am I making any sense?
2. With these circumstance in mind, might like an accomodation be made for my son's lack of height?
Thanks for any help,
Elaine
