I have never seen one. would think that most grown ups would prefer a wheelchair. you could contact your local rehab/wheelchair service.

why would an adult want a buggy?

Dont know, i wondered that as well but just remembered that i had seen it. i think it is so that they can still go 'cross country' for walks, or on the beach, places where a wheelchair would get stuck. Also, they attatch to a bike so that families can continue cycling etc. That is why we have paid so much for Harrys buggy and not gone for the standard one that is supplied. When someone is quadriplegic, simple things like family walks in the forest are hard work, and it means that we have continued to travel the world with harry. Dont know if i would use one when he is an adult though, but i suppose the poster had their own reasons.
