So my youngest daughter is 3.5 years old with multiple medical issues including Cerebral Palsy. She is being trialed in a power wheelchair right now and her PTs think this is a really great thing for her. She still also has her manual wheelchair.
We will have a trip upcoming to Disney, and it has made me wonder.....has anyone else had a very young power wheelchair user bring their power wheelchair to Disney, or is this a really horrible idea to use there and we should stick to her manual chair whether she likes it or not?
It makes me nervous with how unpredictable the crowds are....other adults and kids aren't always predictable in how/where they go and she is still very little and doesn't always pay attention herself. I also think she will be decidedly displeased to lose any kind of independent mobility for two straight weeks as well, which is my only hesitation. Still, I am strongly leaning towards the fact that it would be too dangerous. Thoughts? Anyone BTDT with a young child and can offer tips?
