  • They like the yellow wheel

  • They are generally happy with the looks

  • Lucas likes the toys on the table! He's happy when we show him how to do it, and he tries himself, he learns fast!

  • The whole is not to big, to fit into the house. There's no need to shorten the frame.

  • The cushions were not finished yet, so it was difficult to really test the position and the seats.

  • He needs a cushion to sit on.

  • We need straps to strap him in!The chest-part was to high for his arms to fit in comfortably.

  • The chest-part was to high for his arms to fit in comfortably.
  • Also his legs didn't fit good. He needs more space between

  • All sharp edges need to be covered,...

  • The parents didn't like the abduction seat. They think it's unnecessary and he cannot walk this way!

  • The father remarked that he would like the looks to resemble his wheelchair, to fit in the image! For example with red skai upholstering,...

  • The parts are to large to fit inside his car-top-box.

We met Lucas' parents, and it was a pleasant, good experience. We learned a lot about the use of the loopschip, and the parents wishes and concerns. Here are som pics and a conclusion-table.

*Should be adaptable when Lucas grows

*Should fit easily in a trunk

* Because Lucas has to like it, looks are important...

*Lucas likes toys that make noises, music,...

*He is in his loopschip for 1 – 2 h a day. The thing should be engaging for him for at least this time a day!

* loopschip should be a play-thing

*looks don't really matter for the parents, as long as Lucas likes it. Metal tubes, connections, skai,... are not the real problem!

*Lucas likes Yelow toys (also, rounded soft stuff,...)

*In his loopschip Lucas can turn around and jump (spring-element) → interesting feature!

*It does not have to look like anything (horse,...) because Lucas will probably not recognize it anyway.

Everything was very positive really!
