Wizzybug

It isn't only a powered wheelchair, it is a toy and a friend!

Though society as a whole is more sensitive to the needs of the disability community than ever before, major advances are still necessary in the care of young children with disabilities. Most notably, infants and toddlers require tools that enable exploration and socialization, as movement, touch and the freedom to play and make choices regarding one’s destination are crucial to their learning and development. The Wizzybug address these needs, allowing a group of children who were previously reliant on adults to explore, interact with their peers, and develop spatial awareness and independence.

"Most people augment their walking with mobility devices such as cars, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, skates and skateboards, carts and wagons. They use these devices to go from one place to another more
quickly and to arrive without being fatigued. They also use these devices because different types of locomotion can be fun and exhilarating.

Similarly, people with loco-motor impairments need comprehensive, functional system of mobility for all their activities."
