I have a friend and her DD is 4yrs old. Here is a quick description of her from my friend.
"Weight is between 30-33 lbs. Length, 38-40 inches.
completely hypotonic (floppy) unless she is spastic, then she is very
strong and clenched up. But normal baseline is zero tone"
She is currently RF in a Marathon, but is out growing it. The OT suggested that if mom and dad get a wheelchair van that she can be left in the wheelchair, since it can hook into the van. (I have attached a pic of her wheelchair)
Is it safe? I believe that the crash forces will be the same and such a medically fragile child should be RF as long as possible. I was thinking the Radian TXSL.
Any thoughts and or experience?
