My 3 year old Grandson with CP, I’m wondering if I could hire or borrow such a walker?
Good morning
My Grandson lives in Sweden and has CP. He is unable to sit upright but loves to use his special walker. Unfortunately my son and his ex wife are divorced and my son has to travel to see us with both sons and all the necessary equipment including tins of feed. Elis is still being fed through a tube. He is therefore unable to bring the walker.
I’m wondering if I could hire or borrow such a walker on the occasions when they come. Has anyone got any suggestions please?
Below are photos of the walker Elis has in Sweden.
I live close to Leicester and I’m wondering if anyone can help.

Hey there @Jtregoning I'm afraid I dont have the answers for you, but I'd assume you may be able to hire a walker from somewhere, maybe the local council would be able to advise? I've had a quick google and can see a few places locally that do walker hire, but of course I can't vouch for them as I've not dealt with them before. So I'd rather not post them up!
Just to let you know, I've moved your discussion to the aids and adaptations category, so more people in the know will be able to see and offer some top advice. I've also removed your full name for safety reasons. I hope that's ok? 🙂0
