Yeah, the height makes it easier for him to get in and out of when he is tired, plus he is a restless sleeper and falls out of other beds sometimes. Also because he has no legs at all he is very short. He is also just a tiny kid, he does not like to eat so he only weighs 30lbs. So the bed is a good size for him. He won't be too big for it for a long time, then we too were thinking of a trundle bed. When he is wide awake he gets in and out of chairs, one and off the couch and stuff very easily. He also has no problem with the toilet. In the shower we did put in one of those hand held ones, we do still have to turn the water on and off for him. Dd can finally reach to do that herself. Dh is just not a good enough plumber to move the handles! Changing out the shower head was hard enough for him LOL. Because indoors he does not like to use his chair, but prefers to scoot we had some doorknobs that we changed out for leaver type ones with a little curliecue at the end - this was important cause we tied a rope to the handle he could pulle down on to open the door and the curlique kept it from sliding off! He is now tall enough though to reach most of the door handles from the ground. He also sometimes uses a skateboard in the house and loves to use it outside of the house (He thinks the ramps we have for the wheelchairs are for his skateboard!) I will have to put some videos of him skateboarding on my blog. Good luck, I am excited for you!
