Wheelchair Footrest where can i get a pushchair or wheelchair after my daughters opperation?
she is four and having an opperation on her feet, she hasn't to walk for 6 weeks, and we've to keep her legs flat. we often have to get new pushchairs every few months as shes too heavy for ordinary pushchairs. so we need one that is sturdy. none of the ordinary pushchairs that you find in the shops have a long footrest so she can have her legs straight out in front of her.
Will the hospital not provide you with a child's wheelchair? I'm sure this will be the best thing for her to sit in and it wont cost you a thing.

what are the rules about using the foot rests on a wheelchair pushed by a carer?
I work in a variety of care homes for the older person. Some always use footrests others not. I did think that it was a legal requirement to use them or a client needed to sign a disclaimer. Can someone advise. Ta
Not aware of any rules, apart from the generic duty of care. I'd say always use them, for the comfort, safety & security of the occupant - you don't want them to catch their foot in something, do you?
