Jack's Rig - Sidewalk Test

Homemade wheel-chair of sorts for Jack who is now 11, but was hit by a car when he was 6 months old -- permanent nerve damage to left front leg. Got along fine for about 10 years, then over the past year he's been wanting to walk less. This is an experiment to keep him more mobile.

The straps need a little work, but the frame and wheels seem to be pretty solid. For some reason this was the first time during our trial runs that he started putting his right front leg up on the frame. This lets him go faster, but he loses the ability to steer or stop! Addressing that is the biggest priority and the solution might simply be training.
