Dear all,

Thanks in advance for reading this through.

I am looking to buy my daughter who has cerebral palsy her first wheel chair. She is living in Indonesia at the moment and I'm going to be getting her one for my next trip over. She is 13 and around 4ft 7", and weighs approx 30kg. I'd like to get some advice and possible chair recommendations. I am thinking about ordering from an Indonesian supplier to save taking it over and possibly saving a little.

Some of the brands I've seen on Indonesian suppliers include Soma, Karma and Pride.

The chair will be for indoor and outdoor use, needs to be electric.

Again, many thanks for your help.

Martyna

I would actually talk to a supplier over there. Tell them her needs and maybe she can meet with them to get measured up properly. Wheelchair suppliers dont just sell the chairs but are great resources as well for what will work best for a person and getting them fitted as well.
