To ensure the equipment is appropriate, the specifications should be discussed with a relevant professional, such as an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, or nurse.
Some town centres and attractions, such as shopping centres, beaches, theme parks, and zoos, may hire out buggies, scooters and wheelchairs.
Families going on holiday and needing equipment for a short period can check with the destination’s tourist board for local hire information.
