I am an electric dheelchair user with a two year old toddler, my wife currently straps him to me with a carrier so he faces towards me as he gets bigger he would prefer to face outwards can anyone recommend an outward facing carrier for kids 2-6 years?

many thanks Sam

    Hi @eastendantopodean

    Welcome it’s great to meet you this evening.

    Have you looked in “Argos” as they tend to have a good range at a good price?????

    @kellypeebz I think I have seen you recommending a carrier before? Can you help?

    Hi.  Not sure if you have found anything but the charity Remap are able to make things to help people with disabilities manage where off the shelf adaptations aren't available. I know they've made similar things to help parents in wheelchairs before. Might be worth a look?
    If there is nothing available on the market, remap design and make custom pieces unique to each individual. Their service is completely free. 

    Hope you get sorted x

    Hello @eastendantopodean

    Did you get this sorted? There are organisations that can help-Remap is one of them. Alternatively this company might also be able to help https://www.completecareshop.co.uk
