My daughter has CP and we are preparing to go to disney in the next year. Do any rides allow you to place an adaptive seat, like a tumble form or special tomato, on the ride to support a disabled child? even her high back booster would be fine. But is it allowed?
Thanks.

I am familiar with those kind of seats and they would not work. Most of the ride seats are smooth, slippery plastic and most are not very deep. The only ones with seat belts or restraints are the more 'thrill' type rides,
The issue would be that in most cases, the seat could easily slide off.

My daughter is a young adult now, but she has CP and we started bringing her to WDW as an infant. We sat her next to us on a seat, supporting her with our bodies.

There are some attractions with wheelchair accessible ride cars that a guest can stay in their wheelchair for.
 
That definitely would not work but my daughter with severe seating problems, like can't safely sit on a chair did just fine in the regular seating. We usually either out or arm around her or under her chin depending on the ride. She just did thunder mountain 6 times. And really, I have never seen anyone more disabled than her in terms of ability to sit safely.
