My son only has one arm so he prefers his power chair. He is tiny so it's hard for him to go up even a slight incline with his manual chair, but he can manuever it pretty well. My daughter has prosthetic legs and has surprised me with what she can do. When I first put her dance classes (because she begged) her ped. was very worried, and a year later, apologized to me for not being more encouraging. On my blog you can see pics of her dancing.
The thing with limb differences is that it can encompace such a wide range. Children missing one hand or foot can have a very normal life, most kids born missing a hand don't even mess with prosthetics, they would rather be able to feel things.
Oh and our ramp folds into four so it doesn't take up much room, but it sure is a pain to open it and use it.
