Hi Sarah,

My daughter has type 3 aswell. We've just bought her a specially adapted trike that is really easy to pedal. If you'd like more info about it I'd be happy to give you the details.

Hi Sarah,

Glad to hear George is having fun.
If his upper body strength is strong, he may benefit from a pair of elbow crutches, as it will make him more secure and feel secure going around alone. However, the height should be adjusted with your nearest physio/dr/OT to get a good posture.
