TechMonkey Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Anyone have any experience getting them? I'm a first aider here and becuase I complained about the 1950's wheelchair with knackered tires it seems to have fallen to me to order another one. I've looked on Argos and realised that it is a whole can of worms! So I thought I would tap in to the edugeek font and see if anyone knows about specs and features! Basically needs to be used around school & possibly on the fields so off road abilities would be good. Ta
laserblazer Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I asked our local Mobility Shop and they gave us an ex-rental one. For First Aid questions this is a cracking site. FirstAidCafe
TwoZeroAlpha Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Try halfords, they're doing wheelchairs now. Might also be worth trying to get in touch with your county Occupational Health dept (or the local hospital's OH dept) as they should be able to advise the best course of action. Something like Premium Push Wheelchair from Halfords Price £229.99 20% Off Any Mobility Accessory When You Buy Any Wheeled Mobility Product
Ric_ Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 You could also try EduGeek BUY - it's amazing what you can get quoted on! 1

I'll ask my mum where she got hers.
p858snake Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 If your school has a special needs dept or a visiting person, get in touch with their physiotherapy person or contact a local hospital and talk to one of their rehabilitation units. (or possibly also a nursing home)
tech_guy Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Certainly try your local mobility shop - get advice and then buy on-line!
rad Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I work at an Outdoor Centre that has disabled users come and visit. We currently have 2 of these Wheelchairs . clicky Great and really light.
