Sophie's new transport chair

Sophie has her new Rodeo!  We were so excited for it to arrive, I was super impatient and was so happy when we received the call that it was in.  After some minor adjustments for her size we had it home.  Sophie has been using it now for just over 2 weeks and it has been working really well.




Sophie seems very comfortable in it, sometimes too comfy.  She has quickly found a way she likes to sit in it, one leg up in a funny yoga pose with her knee sticking out the side.  She does this each time she is in it, always the right leg up.

The harness/seatbelt system and special headrest add-on supports her head and torso well and the rigid seat with contouring we added has helped immensely to hold her in the chair properly.  Considering she had never been able to try this chair out before we ordered it, it functions very well.


We added a rain/sun canopy and a medical basket/tray for underneath for her feeding pump.  I still have to find a caribaner to hang the feeding bag from but otherwise we are good to go.  It rolls really nicely up into the back of the van so I haven't had to figure out how to collapse yet, but apparently it is fairly easy.  We chose a nice dark burgundy for the colour of the chair and I love it.


I hope this will provide her with many years of comfy touring on our many adventures.

  1. What a cool new set of wheels! I like those. Might consider them when E outgrows his Kimba. I'll have to pick your brain on how you've enjoyed it whenever we're at that stage.
