Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know Lilliana got her wheelchair on Monday.  she's so much more vocal and seems so much more comfortable.  its a Bingo.  She has already thrown up and pooped on it :) Do kids usually sit in their chair at home or just out and about.

 also if you have facebook we have a page for Lilliana (Lilliana's Hope) please feel free to "like" her page.

Hi Tiffany,

I liked it very much. I have a question to you then. How much you pais for this and tell me at about what age wheel chair is better to buy? As you know Sarp is 18 months now and we can use stroller for him. But ofcourse the head is uncomfortable.

Any idea is acceptable.

Many hugs,

hi bihter.  our insurance paid for her chair but it was about $6000 USD. it looks a lot like a stroller. if sarp is starting to look uncomfortable you could start looking into a wheelchair.  i have to say that lilliana seems so much more comfortable and active in her chair. its a bingo from upkids http://www.kidsupco.com/bingo.html  it is a lot of work when you have two kids to haul around. right now if we go shopping my husband pushes lilliana and i put our 8 month old in the shopping cart. its very hard to do it alone sii have to still use our double stroller

Hi Tiffany,

I hope you all OK.

We rae trying to find a wheelchair for Sarp and now I am trying to find out the best for Sarp. I know Lilliana is pleased with her chair. Do you recommend it, do you have any special advise for me to buy an additional apparatus or not yo buy some parts etc...

As you may concern I can not see the chair directly and Sarp can not sit as a trial so I only saw that Lilliana was very comfortable with that. So I need your advise:

And I think Bingo is no more available in US. And when I look the web page you sent me, I saw Bingo chair is not the same as Lilliana's one. It is something like a car seat chair. So I wonder if Liliana's model is different from Bingo. Beacuse I am going to ask the model to Germany (manufacturer) and ask a quotation for that.

And one more question:

How long does Lilliana can use this chair? How about the head support and back side of your chair. Is head support is comfortabe enough or does her head fall to right or left?

As for the back side: Is it something like you can adjust it according to the length of her back. I mean will it be enough when she get 5 years old? Because you know it is too expensive....

 

Thanks again for your advise,

Bihter
