I'm thinking we should just buy one, only because we are going to Las Vegas also which will also be alot of walking. We can always re-sell it. I saw one on sale for $130 at Rite-Aid this week.

Just a heads up it was a little bit of a hassle to get the wheelchair, take it back when we exited the park, getting another when we re-entered, and then taking it back to get the deposit back.

See how comfortable it is, how easy it is to close up, pick it up, sit in it-really give it the once-over. As far as how much Deckert's charges-give them a call because the last time we used them was Nov 07 and prices might have gone up since then.
