Reply To: Pushchairs for disabled children
Hello, Bruno-san!
In Japan, wheelchairs for children with disabilities are often custom-made by wheelchair suppliers who visit hospitals and build them according to doctors’ prescriptions.
Therefore, parents do not often buy wheelchairs (pushchairs) for their children in stores.
This site has a list of the latest models of children’s wheelchairs from major Japanese wheelchair manufacturers. (Our daughter also uses the one on this list)

If there are several that you are interested in, we can check (for free) with the manufacturer to see if you can buy it in the store or if it can be custom made.
Please feel free to contact us!
