Hints & TipsSitting in the "Hot Seat"Ever wonder how hot a wheelchair seat can get? Sit it out in full sun for a few minutes and then touch it. It can be oven hot in no time! Plastic seat materials covered by dark, heat-absorbing fabric make wheelchair seats a heat magnet. Children left out in the sun for long periods in their wheelchairs can become hot, sweaty and over heated in no time. Protect your child. Keep your child and their chair out of direct sun as much as possible. If you're spending a long period outside be sure to take your child OUT of his/her wheelchair and give them a chance to cool off. Make sure they drink plenty of fluids as well. Dehydration and Heat injuries are no laughing matter. |
