#WheelchairWednesday a fun comparison

Full disclosure, I purchased 2 wheelchair Barbie dolls, one for my niece and the other for my friend’s little girl and I was impressed by how well detailed the chair is. Both girls are fully physically able. I purchased the dolls as a memento of my relationship with them and in hope that it’s will normalize wheelchair users in their lives. The video below is a comparison between the Barbie wheelchair and a young woman’s manual wheelchair, and it’s very cute.
