A pair of short plastic skis without bindings are fitted with hinges to be able to sit attached under the wheelchair wheels.

Users comments
When the user had dogs she drove a dogsled with three dachshunds along an old railway track that has become a pedestrian and bicycle path. Today, when she no longer has her dogs she uses this equipment anyway. It is extremely easy for another person to push.
