My little girl is getting her first self propelled wheelchair delivered this week, she’s picked out her frame colour and spoke guards and is very excited!

Her first chair was more buggy like but at 10 she’s excited to have something a bit more grown up and that she can be more independent in. I’m hoping for some advice and suggestions to make it “hers” and for anything helpful we might need that I’m not thinking or aware of eg should we look for a more comfortable seat cushion, suggestions for gloves etc.

(it’s an nhs action junior basic self propelled)

If she can't self propel independently, do think about getting her power assist, or even a power chair at some point. It makes a huge difference!
