Scooter or Chair

[Guest guest]

Betty and I have been having trouble walking and doing, so we're looking

into something provided by Medicare. We've talked to the Scooter Store about

the Pride line, but are wondering about other brands. I assume all of them

are basically the same, but the Hoveround seems to stress moving in crowded

areas, like in our whole house! What advice do we have available to help

make the decision?

In our efforts to improve ourselves, we got a recumbent bike to help us, and

added to the Gazelle, we should be better walkers maybe.

Hi

I know you didn't ask me but I have both. A regular wheelchair and a scooter. I

use my scooter when I am going someplace with a lot of walking. I keep my

wheelchair here at home.

I guess what I am trying to say is make a list of pros & cons for both of them

and then decide.

, I appreciate your reply, but I might have been more clear. I already

have a Pride Celebrity XL scooter, a big one that will go anywhere, and a

Pride Jazzy chair. I'm sure there are other makers out there, so I was

fishing for tales of other brands and/or experiences. Our plans are to try

to get newer ones from the Medicare program that we both qualify for, so we

need to make an informed decision. Thanks,
