| well when we took her in to be fitted for it everything seemed fine, but we took her to tesco in it for the first time today(omg the amount of people that stared!!) anyways first off the lap belt at it's tightest was still a good few cm too loose, but we kept her coat on to pad it out a little... so got halfway around tesco and the poor mites head starts flopping onto her chest...then she launches forward, bent at the waist and almost falls out!! she was provided with a chest harness(that is too big which is why it wasn't on her) so i put that on and as she was flopping her head forward it was digging into her neck marking her so all in all the wheelchair isn't successful and IS going back |

| thats rubbish!
it doesn't sound like it is suitable for even if it did fit her.
Is she totally outgrown/not suitable for a pushchair now? |

| no idea, we're contacting them tomorrow though to sort it out and see if they can give her anything better. lisa...she's still small enough to fit in a normal pram but she slides down so is really slumped and hanging out |
