When Regular Strollers Were No Longer Comfortable: A Delhi Father's Search for a Travel Wheelchair for His 11-Year-Old Son

“We have all the equipment at home, but when we are travelling, we struggle because prams and strollers cannot accommodate him comfortably.” — Hemant Arora, Delhi

For Hemant Oda from Delhi, caring for his 11-year-old son with cerebral palsy meant finding different solutions for different situations.

At home, the family already had equipment to support their son's everyday needs.

But travelling presented a different challenge.

As their son grew, regular prams and strollers were no longer able to accommodate him comfortably. Family journeys became difficult because the equipment they used for travel was not meeting his changing requirements.

Hemant wanted something different: a wheelchair that could provide supportive seating while remaining practical for travelling, including journeys involving flights.

His search led him to IndiaMART, where he discovered Morecare and the EasyGo Travel Wheelchair.

Rather than purchasing the product without seeing it, Hemant travelled to Morecare's Jaipur facility for a demonstration.

After exploring the EasyGo and discussing his son's requirements with Vinay Khandelwal, he decided to purchase the wheelchair.

The journey

When Home Equipment Wasn't Enough for Travel

Hemant's family had already arranged equipment to support their son's needs at home. Their difficulty was not a lack of homecare solutions. It was what happened when they needed to travel. For an 11-year-old child with cerebral palsy, comfortable positioning during journeys can require more support than an ordinary stroller provides. Hemant explained that the prams and strollers they had been using were no longer accommodating his son comfortably. The family needed a more suitable travel solution.

Looking for a Wheelchair Specifically for Travelling

Hemant began searching for a wheelchair that would be practical during family journeys. He wanted equipment that could accommodate his son's positioning requirements without becoming unnecessarily difficult to transport. Air travel was one of his considerations. He was looking for a wheelchair that could be taken on journeys involving flights, while still providing appropriate support for his child.

Discovering Morecare Through IndiaMART

During his search, Hemant came across Morecare on IndiaMART. He discovered the EasyGo Travel Wheelchair and felt that it might address the family's requirements. However, selecting a wheelchair for a child with cerebral palsy involves more than comparing product photographs or specifications. The family's main concern was whether the chair would comfortably accommodate their son. Hemant therefore decided to visit Morecare personally.

Visiting Jaipur for a Live Demonstration

Hemant came to Morecare's Jaipur facility to see the EasyGo in person. During the visit, he received a product demonstration and discussed his son's requirements with Vinay Khandelwal. The demonstration helped him better understand the wheelchair's design and how it might work for the family's travel needs. For Hemant, the opportunity to ask questions and explain his challenges was an important part of the experience.

A Manufacturer Willing to Understand the Problem

One aspect of the visit particularly impressed Hemant. He appreciated that Vinay listened to the family's concerns and was willing to discuss customization according to their requirements. Rather than treating the EasyGo as a fixed product that every child must use in the same configuration, the discussion considered whether adjustments could make it more suitable for his son. Hemant described this willingness to understand and address individual needs as especially helpful.

Choosing the EasyGo Travel Wheelchair

After the demonstration and discussion, Hemant confirmed that the family would purchase the EasyGo. The decision was based on their positive experience with the product demonstration and the support they received at Morecare. He also mentioned that he hoped to share feedback after using the wheelchair. At the time of his testimonial, the family had not yet reported real-world travel experience with the EasyGo. Their story therefore reflects the purchase decision and initial confidence rather than a confirmed long-term outcome.

— A Caregiver's Perspective

"“I'm Hemant Arora from Delhi. We came to Morecare to get a CP wheelchair for our 11-year-old child. We found Morecare through IndiaMART. We were specifically looking for a wheelchair for travelling. We already have all the equipment at home, but when we travel, we struggle because prams and strollers are not able to accommodate him comfortably. We wanted a wheelchair that he could use comfortably during travel, including when we are flying. That's how we found the Morecare EasyGo. We came here for a demo today. Mr. Vinay has been very helpful and understanding. He understands our problems and is ready to customize the product according to our requirements, which is very helpful for us. We are going ahead with this product and buying it. Probably later we can share our feedback after using it. As of now, we are happy with the demo and with Mr. Vinay. Thank you.” — Hemant Arora, Delhi"
