Power chairs are not real hard to control, but you'll want to make sure you have at least two speed settings- indoor and outdoor. Set the indoor speeds so the chair is almost sluggish- this allows you to control it gently through doors, etc. Outdoor can be pretty much whatever you can handle- but remember that too much speed is just as dangerous in wheelchairs as it is in other vehicles. You mike try for a good forum and such. wheelchair

Good Luck and Bless you for your concern. downs syndrome
