What kind of wheelchair works best on dirt roads?

We live in a rural area and my dad needs to get around better.


Power chairs- very few. Manuals- some.

Look for wide, large tires- especially on front. A little knobiness is good, but not too much.

Strong frame, good shocks... I'd skip the anti-tips.

This won't be cheap, and may not be covered under most reimbursement plans,

How can I make an adjustable height wheelchair work table?

It is going to be used as a planting table for wheel chair students in a greenhouse. It will be about 36" wide, 72" long, and adjustable from 29" to 36" high. I need ideas on how to make it adjust safely, easily and inexpensively. I plan on having 3 of these tables next to each other for a total length of about 18'.

Has anyone been served by or seen a Mac Genius at an Apple Store who is a wheelchair user?

I use a wheelchair. I have been working successfully as a Mac support technician at independent Mac dealers for a number of years. I am looking for a new position. I was curious as to whether any wheelchair user has worked as a Mac Genius, or any Apple Store customer has been served by or seen a Mac Genius who is a wheelchair user.


being in a wheelchair shouldn;t prevent you from getting a job anywhere your skills are in demand and there is a job opening- that would be discrimination

Do you have experience with ferrets on a wheelchair?

My 6.5 year old female ferret DeeDee was diagnosed with Insulinoma
Surgery performed, it is cancer.
Her back legs are paralysed but she has good appetite and good mood.

I am thinking on a little wheelchair that will allow her to move around when she is not on the cage

I am also modifying her setup to a smaller and lower litter box because she is only using the lowest level of her cage
Have any of you had a ferret in a wheelchair? Does it work?

Any recommendations?

Thank you!
Thank you for the link. They run for about $300 !!!(shipping included). There are also cheaper alternatives if I decide to use some of the home made plans on the same website. There is still the matter of using the bathroom though. The poor thing gets soiled every time, and she doesn't like baths...Ideas more than welcome!


I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I just wanted to say how fantastic I think you are for being so committed to your little fuzz bomb, I have one ferret called Freddie and I would fly to the moon for him if I had to lol!!
I have seen these wheelchairs work for dogs and cats so I think it could work for your fert. I can't think of how to help with the pee and poop situation though!! Good luck to you and your little one xx
