The shuttle . Part 2

Today we had a rep come to the house with the shuttle system. A try before you buy ... Which is a must when u r spending that kind of money.

I fell in love with it even more when I saw it. It's most definitely more pushchair looking than wheelchair, it's compact, light... Hope looked very well supported and comfortable and very grown up in it. The seat unit can be turned around easily so she could face outwards or more importantly, towards me. The rocker base was fabulous! I can imagine Hope sitting there relaxing and demanding to be rocked. An extra bonus, something I didn't realise before, is that the seat unit can be used alone and therefore would be useful when out visiting.
Perfect??? NO!!!!
The hood and raincovers don't fit on in the parent facing mode. The main reason we don't/ can't use the snappi!!!
Arghhhh

Anyway, all is not completely lost. The rep said he didn't think it would be too difficult to adapt the hood and raincovers so they would fit. So he is going to speak to someone in the workshop to see if it can be done, and then if they Can get it past all the safety tests etc with it adapted. So now it's a waiting game. With the possible hood adaption, it would be perfect. Without... It's not.

In the meantime, I've arranged another rep to come out from another company with a different set of wheels. The rep today actually suggested this, and another mum passed me on a brochure.
The stingray ...
