Help and advice
Before buying gloves, make sure that they are quick and easy to put on and take off, to ensure maximum independence. Also look for gloves that are made from durable, top-quality materials.
Some people also wear wheelchair gloves for hygiene reasons. This is because if your child's hands come into contact with the tyres (not just the push rims), their hands will be coming into contact with everything the wheel comes into contact with!
