Help with child seat on wheelchair
(posted by Paula Allchin)
John Hill (secretary NE Wales) asks:
Do any of our panels have experience of fitting a child seat to a lightweight, folding, wheelchair such that the child faces the disabled mother? The mother has only one arm and the wheelchair is an Action 2 NG.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

please see attached link to a generic system we developed.

Although not specifically for a fold-able chair it relies on the weight of the person in the chair to locate it and does not require any special bracket-work from the chair.
Might inspire a specific solution for your case.
