MADE TO ORDER: This is a fleece wheelchair coat for a child, various sizes available. It is meant to be lightweight, and to cover them just enough to get them from the warm house into the warm schoolbus or car, and from the car into a warm building. There is no back to it. Instead of wrestling your child into a coat before he gets strapped into the wheelchair harness, with this, you strap him into his wheelchair seat; put the sleeves on, and then the hood over his head. There is a short yoke to keep the shoulder area warm, but it is not attached to the back of the sleeves, so the harness is not affected. No bunching of fabric behind them in the chair.
There is a hood with drawstring, a zippered front, full sleeves, which end in slit mittens. Wearer can have the mittens cover their hands, or if you fold them back, hands can be out. The bottom edge around the feet is very slightly gathered with elastic. If desired, loops of elastic or Velcro can be applied by you at strategic points to attach to the chair frame if necessary to help keep the blanket on the legs on windy days.
I will try to give you a selection of color/theme/character fleece if you contact me. Be aware that as a custom made item, shipping may be delayed up to 2 weeks.
Also, I am willing to work with you to solve other ‘wheelchair problems’ with clothing, if you contact me. Example -making pants with an extended back seat area and short front for sitting individuals. Let me know what you struggle with in dressing your child. Together we may be able to solve it!
