Thanks so much Firefly for sending me a Scooot to try and review. No other compensation was given. Readers, thank you for supporting brands that support my family.

If you have a child with special needs you know it isn’t always easy for them to play with their siblings or other kids their age. Firefly recently made a 3-in-1 mobility rider for little explorers to change that.

Scooot’s 3-in-1 design means 3-times the fun and 3-times as many chances to fulfill potential. And because it’s more affordable than other mobility devices, your investment goes a lot further. More choices, more opportunities.

Scooot is available in two versions: 2-in-1 or 3-in-1. Just choose the version that suits your child and that will benefit them the most.

Crawl

Crawl allows kids to move and explore on their tummy, helping to strengthen upper body and tummy muscles as they lift their heads and shoulders.

I loved how tall Carsyn got while on the Scooot. Regularly on his tummy he would not lift that high. This is going to have a huge benefit on his core muscles.

Scoot

Scoot lets kids sit upright to move around using their feet. Supported by a lap belt and backrest, the child’s trunk and pelvis are encouraged to stabilize, freeing up their hands to lift and handle objects, play with family and explore their surroundings.

Carsyn hasn’t tried this position yet. 

Ride

Ride lets kids propel themselves around the floor by maneuvering the wheels. Having fun in this function can also build upper body strength, whilst exploration and participation can improve spatial awareness as well as cognitive, sensory and communication abilities.

I am using this inside with Carsyn to help him understand the concept of a wheelchair. I am hoping one day he will be able to self propel himself all the time. I do wish the back had a little more support for Carsyn because he has such low tone in his core, but I heard they are trying to come up with a solution now.

728x90

Dustyn really enjoys pushing Carsyn on the Scooot around the house.  Carsyn thinks it is hilarious and the best thing ever!! I see that it really helps them connect, when they don’t normally have a way to play together.

I love this video of Blake using his Scoot. He is adorable.

21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. He 21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. Hers should arrive in a week or two. 

We saw a third eye doctor. We are going to try glasses for two months and also try to prevent her from closing or covering her left eye. Along with having her focus on something brought to her nose throughout the day. Then recheck. She did mention alternate patching. Even though they see it in both eyes it is more prominent in her left eye. If neither one is helping then we will do surgery.

20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. 20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. I felt so bad when they were poking her back. I shared a photo in my stories of her back. They tested for dairy, eggs, green beans and pork. She previously had a reaction to green beans and bacon so they wanted to check that. The dairy and egg still had a reaction, but the doctor feels it is small enough that we can start trying eggs and dairy in small portions. Her egg reaction is a little less than dairy so we are going to try that first. 

I let her pick out a toy and she picked this baby yoda.

14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for 14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for a 3rd opinion next week at an office that offers vision therapy. I am going to see if they think therapy and/or glasses would help. I’m hoping that it will be an option since she is able to control it when we get her to focus. We will see. 

Thanks for all the advice and sharing your experiences. I know every child and diagnosis is different but it is nice to hear what others have done.
