    Traveling to the World with a DD with CP

    That is a very good point and something friends have pointed out as well. What our train of thought is right now is moving to a manual first, then going to a power wheelchair when it's time for a replacement. The chair we are heavily considering (because it seems to fit her needs well) is...

    Park shoes?

    This is probably a silly newbie question, but I'm curious. We have never taken a Disney family vacation. DH has never been at all and I went twice (once at 4 in 1988 and once at 16 in 2000). What shoes do you all wear in the parks that are comfy? My girls have crocs and I'm thinking the...

    Traveling to the World with a DD with CP

    Thank you for the advice! Everything is very helpful! I will head to check out that thread soon! DD 4 will be needing to move to a pediatric wheelchair soon. We are trying to hold off as long as possible, though, as she is tiny and fits comfortably in the Maclaren.
