wheelchair users deserve a minimum of three wheelchairs to meet different needs. like, bare minimum of indoor chair, outdoor chair, and off road chair. chairs that meet different needs for transport, activity, positioning needs, energy levels, etc.

there is not "one chair" that can meet every need. wheelchair users deserve to have multiple chairs that meet specific needs, no matter how complex their seating/positioning needs. we deserve to at least have a backup if our chair breaks that is just as suited to our needs.

disability wheelchair mobility aid dude wheelchairs are SO fucking expensive I only need one because I'm only a parttime user and only really need it if I have to go super long distance but I had my grandma's old one for a while before Disney World lost it and had to find an equal replacement for them to buy to replace it and WOW there is no reason a basic push wheelchair needs to cost that much and plenty of people require motorized ones for true independence and those are INSANE I wish I had one but I can't afford it and I doubt my insurance would find it medically necessary because I can't go anywhere by myself that has lots of walking because I'm not physically able to push myself either so really I end up being pretty limited with where I can go alone
