Most manual wheelchairs have two little bars sticking out the back of the chair down by the ground. The bars have little wheels on them but they don't touch the ground. Their purpose is to prevent you from tipping backwards if you should shift your weight too far back as you are pushing your chair. Since Annie usually puts the "pedal to the metal" whenever she starts out, it is not unusual for her to "pop-a-wheelie" and the anti-tippers catch her before she lands flat on her back.
But the best thing about the anti-tips? When we adjust them all the way up, you can lean the chair back on them and take a nap! It's like a portable Lay-z-Boy for wee-ones!
