from any child. Best mobility equipment possible should be
provided to children who need mobility aid. At least 3 people
should put their head together to choose a perfect equipment.

The
child's physician, parents and the child.
The doctors should decide on the basic equipment a child needs
taking into consideration the child's physical requirements.
The parents should help the physician in informing him well
on the child's daily activities, interests, travel requirements,
home architecture, hobbies, sports interests etc. The child
should be given freedom to choose the color, upholsteries,
accessories etc.
Since
children with disabilities need therapeutic attention, wheelchairs
chosen should also address this concern
Children
grow faster and it will not be financially viable to change
wheelchairs frequently. Hence growth compatible wheelchairs
are available in market, which can be adjusted according to
the child's growing requirements. Basically paediatric wheelchairs
are classified according to the age of the children.
