How it works
Thank you, everyone, for your tremendous love and support!! Quinn's xRover stroller is now fully funded! This is truly a dream come true!! We are forever grateful for your kindness!
------------------------------------
Quinn loves to go to new places and see new things. He especially loves the outdoors. We want to give him the opportunity to go to parks, gardens, zoos, or nature centers to see the animals in the real world that he has learned to love from books. Without a proper stroller solution, however, this has not been possible.
Quinn is missing 263 genes. As a result, he was born with several bodily malformations that have needed surgery and have caused him mobility limitations.
After his recent successful spinal cord surgery, we are hopeful that Quinn will eventually be able to sit up on his own, but as of now, he cannot sit upright, crawl, or walk. Even when seated in a traditional toddler chair or stroller, his severe scoliosis and low muscle tone cause him to collapse unless he is fully supported with lateral padding and sufficient strapping systems. As you can imagine, this has made it very difficult to travel with Quinn, not only to his frequent doctor appointments but also to any type of family outing that we could hope to have at a park, etc.
When we take Quinn out, we often use a baby carrier so that he can be stable and travel most comfortably, but this has become more difficult on his Mama as he has grown and gotten heavier.
We have long fantasized about getting Quinn a proper mobility solution but it is difficult with a child-like Quinn to find a stroller that can adequately support his needs. When we discovered The xRover stroller, it was a magical moment. It had all the things Quinn needed in a stroller. We were so excited to see that something like it even existed!
Unfortunately, the stroller way out of our price range. Like most medical and adaptive equipment, it is much more expensive than the average stroller. Thankfully, Tadpole Adaptive understands and provides an opportunity for others to help families of disabled children by sharing the cost of their adaptive equipment.
