He even has flaps to help him move around the house instead of standing up. Included in this Mad Maxesque chair is a recliner so that Grandpa can be forever comfortable in his chair without getting up. 
(Flaps can double as a table/laptop)

She has endless hours of entertainment from her wrecking ball, hanging hook, ramp/slide, and wind mill. Fidget activities let Maggie feel independent while she is stuck in a tire like enclosure. There is some room for movement so that she will always have the ability to move.
