I also love IKEA, as it’s a great place to take my young wheelchair using daughter to get practice. IKEA is one of the most wheelchair accessible places we’ve been to. We often see other people in wheelchairs as well, I think precisely because they take accessibility seriously. She’ll exclaim “like me! Like me!” And propel herself over and compliment anyone in a wheelchair on their dress or ask them about their prosthetic leg, which so far people tend to be very kind and gracious to a little girl coming up and asking them personal questions.

It’s also great because she can basically “do all the activities” at IKEA, she can see all the furniture, go into all the display rooms, and even the dining area is wide open and accessible.

She just turned four and her favorite part is the “turbo boosts” where I give her a good push and she careens down the aisles at IKEA, using her brakes to stop herself. Braking is a super important skill for a little girl in a wheelie!
