The all singing and nearly dancing Balder wheelchair

It arrived yesterday, in a fab metallic purple colour as chosen by herself. I can see why it costs 17K. Its fab, the way you can move different parts back and forth and up and down etc to get the posture/support you need at the time. B is getting used to its rear wheel drive (I don't know why but it reminds me of a dalek or something!) and rising up and down cos its a little daunting at first. We are going to gradually get her used to standing - her physiotherapist says she has to stand at least 30 minutes every day in it during the holidays!.


Here she is in semi-rise position

yeah we havent decided whether its coming yet..im a bit over protective of it at the mo....she took her old one to horse riding camp cos its quite bumpy etc....i guess the Balder is going to get messed up at some point..its just it feels like a merc convertible that shouldnt be used when the weather may be bad...iykwim!
