Many individuals prefer scooters to wheelchairs. First, scooters are electric. Second, they look less like a medical device than a standard wheelchair; they don’t automatically connote the idea that the person using the scooter is either sick or injured. It is, however, important to choose the scooter that works best for your loved one. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com

There are bariatric, three-wheel, four-wheel and portable scooters. Three-wheel scooters are best for those who live or work in small places. Since there is only one front wheel, three-wheel scooters have a smaller turning radius than four-wheel scooters. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com

The Pride Rally 3-Wheel Scooter is a great indoor/outdoor scooter with excellent maneuverability. The Pride Go-Go Traveller Scooter is also ideal for tight spaces, but it has an added feature: it is possible to change the color of the scooter with ease. This is a great option for those who are creative or get bored easily. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com

Four-wheel scooters are a bit more stable than three- wheel scooters, making them ideal for outside use and bumpier terrain. However, they do have a larger turning radius than three-wheel scooters. Pride Mobility offers many different four-wheel scooters, including the Pride Revo Scooter, the Pride Legend Scooter and the Pride Rally Scooter. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com

Golden Technologies and Drive Medical offer several different options as well. The Drive Odyssey is built with a more rugged construction, so it’s great for nature lovers and outdoorsy types. Portable scooters are perfect for those who need to take their scooters with them on a daily basis. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com

They are ideal for people who work outside the home or spend a great a deal of time going from place to place. Many portable scooters can be taken apart and easily reassembled, enabling the user to take the scooter from one location to the next. The Pride Go-Go Elite Traveller Scooter, for example, can be taken apart into four pieces— the heaviest piece only weighs 22 lbs! Not all portable scooters can be disassembled though; instead, they are lightweight. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com

The Drive Hawk 3 Wheel Mobility Scooter is the perfect example. It is compact, lightweight, and easy to operate. Owning a scooter can make a huge difference in your loved one’s life. For those who have trouble walking, a scooter makes it possible to get around without struggling. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com

You definitely can’t go wrong with a Pride scooter or another trusted brand. Plus, being able to get from one place to another without help is a sure way to boost your elderly parent’s self-esteem and confidence. www.HomeCaregiverStore.com
