does it bother anyone else with complex seating/positioning needs, especially those in custom big powerchairs, how everyone and their mother is doing a brand deal with OAS mobility on their two non custom powerchairs and advertising them as a kinda one-size fits all solution. I'm glad people are getting what they need but I can't help feel alienated, especially on a day (yesterday) where my powerchair and the power assist on my backup (heavy manual tilt in space) chair gave out leaving me in crisis as a full-time (nonambulatory) wheelchair user. Again, I'm happy people are getting things that help them live their lives, and I, myself, wish I would've started using mobility aids sooner than I did before my disability progressed to this point, and I even understand that sometimes people don't have the support to talk to a medical professional or physical therapist about aids. However, using chairs like this long term can cause a lot of damage to people's bodies, and it's hard as someone in a big powerchair to see other people in big powerchairs who are doing this brand deal because (although they don't owe excessive nuance to anyone, even me) it makes it seem like needing accessible vehicles and difficulty transporting complex chairs is solvable by just getting a lighter chair, even though using such a chair would not be a possibility for so many people. Again, please use what you find beneficial and safe to use, but also, know that there are many people (myself included) who couldn't even sit up in those chairs, let alone use them regularly
