Sprained ankle etc.? You need a knee scooter!

Recommended Posts

Have you sprained your ankle, or injured your foot or ankle in some other way? If so, this thing is a god send. My wife broke her foot in May, and is still limping. Without this thing, we would have had to cancel all our plans for the last 6 months, as she was in a boot, and on crutches, and unable to manage more than very short distances by herself. Then we got this, in America, and it has been fantastic. She was able to scoot around all kind of places that would have been impossible on crutches, because too tiring. With this, she managed several days out in London, a visit to Hadrians wall, flying to Miami, two weddings, numerous other days out. We have only seen one other in use in London. Basically you kneel on it and scoot along using your good leg (look it up). You can also sit on it, and it takes no effort at all for someone else to push it along on smooth flooring (airports, supermarkets, shops etc.), even normal pavements it is fine. Only problem is uneven ground, cobblestones etc., then no good. I wish I had known about these when I sprained my own ankle! This one is a bit bashed, and we have lost the panier, but basically works fine, and ready to change someone else’s life for the better. £20 pick up Forest Hill 07972368261

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.
