Paraplegic Parenting: Lifting and Transferring a Toddler

In this video I demonstrate my method for lifting my toddler onto my lap and transferring her into her high chair. This lifting method has been working well for all daily activities.

    I always thought that was the coolest thing when my daughter learned how to climb up on my lap, get in her high chair and car seat on her own. (With myself supervising of course and locking in the seatbelt) She felt like a “big girl” helping mommy😇. She’s 22 now! We learn quickly through those early stages of our child growing up what works for us and our disabilities. Your daughter has grown a ton 💞

    Hi Brian I love your videos alot, your energy and positivity is contagious 😄 I wanted to ask for advice, I love motorcycles alot but problem is I kinda ride a bit faster... Anyway now I have a beautiful 14 months boy and I dont wanna risk anything cause of him, but riding is huge part of my life and its only thing that makes me happy outside of my family, something I have only for myself. I will try to ride safe but I know I will not resist to ride a bit faster sometimes when im with my buddies. So I dont know what to do, I dont want to hurt my wife and kid, but if I remove riding from my life I would be sad infront of them and I dont think that is a solution. Anyway, love you man, keep being you and I wish all the best to you and your family 🙋😊

    t0malito I hear you bud. Bikes are just as addictive as crack IMO. But even knowing that rush, I still don’t think they are worth it. Too much can go wrong. My advice would either be to stick to the track or buy a fast car. Ironically, I know of 3 fathers within the last month who have lost their lives over some dumb situations on a bike and countless other paras/quads. I just don’t think the pros outweigh the cons. Of course, I would never tell you what to do and I fully understand the appeal. But babies and mothers need you around. I think you could find a safer rush. I often wish I had.

It was very hard (and it still is) but I got into cycling in last few months and I enjoy it very much. I had my 2nd race today and I'm having alot of fun on this new journey. I was thinking alot about my son, and advices of other people including you, and decided to try to remove motorcycle completely atleast for next decade or so.

    ItsWheelz247 thanks! Yep it’s an ADA oven/range with controls on the front rather than the back. It’s shorter than an average stove but the downfall is that it doesn’t have a drawer underneath. It instead sits on a wooden platform. My next time around, I may just opt for a normal range/counter height.
