I was talking about the small one, that breaks down into three pieces and fits in the trunk of a car. It had one gel cell on it, probably for weight savings, since someone was going to be physically picking it up. I really don't think it was designed to travel a long distance. Can you charge them in-park? Are there any places you can plug in?

I've always assumed that *no one* driving one of these things around knows what the hell their doing (based on personal observation), and value my Achilles' tendon(s) too much to risk jumping in front of one... Can I also say to you backpack people, that the backpack sticks out a foot or two behind you, so when you turn, you should make sure there's no one there you're going to whack? Thank you. I had to vent. Keane -- When stars are born, They possess a gift or two, One of them is this, They have the power to make a wish come true... -- Wishes Visit my site: http://keanespics.com

I had to vent. While we are on the subject, Karen and I have noticed that people at Disney parks for some reason believe they do not have to look in the same direction they are walking. - Barry

Personally I would go with the wheelchair. My mom has COPD and has a hard time walking in the parks so I always get my son to push and he doesn't have a problem since pushing a wheelchair at Disney is better than not being at Disney..
