Motorised standing frames

[lisawoody]

We saw a young boy on extreme makeover who had a motorised standing frame. It was so cool with a tray on the front and chunky wheels at the back and smaller at the front. if anyone in the States has a idea of the name of these can you let me know please. In New Zealand we can get normal standing frames but they are really BIG and take up way too much room. So we thought if we could fundraise enough we could import one of these cool ones. :sign0009:

I think I know what you're speaking of. It's probably the Standing Dani.

We looked into getting a Standing Dani for Analise when she was 18 months old (not the motorized one). Our insurance company denied it saying that they wouldn't cover a standing wheelchair. The Standing Dani is very, very expensive!

these look great, they are not quite the one we saw on t.v, it had much small wheels, but I would love to give Erin a go in one they look so cool.:3a:

Try the Extreme Makeover website and see if they have a "contact us" option. Someone on their staff could probably give you info.

You'll get much better results with a websearch if you use the term "standing wheelchair" rather than "standing frame".
Here's the most promising looking one I found on just the first page of a Google search result:

That's really cool, Roger. It appears to be based on the Segway concept.
