previous to ADA act, transit agencies said it was not feasible or desirable to allow wheelchairs either. And the disabled did used to get carried onto the buses and trollies by relaties, just like babies and toddlers. And little kids do struggle for independence. kids WANT to do everything themselves, even if they haven't figured it out yet.

kids aren't entitled to their wheeled chairs because ADA legislation does not force transit agencies to recognize kids. The legislation does not support the logical conclusion. Change the legislation then. There is no legislation forcing transit agencies to offer so many under-sized bolted-down chairs for healthy and independent, (but frequently overweight) riders. Undersized bolted chairs for healthy adults makes no sense when there is no space for strollers for kids that can't walk. Our priorities are not straight. Anyway chairs are really bad for your health. You should avoid using chairs unless you are unable to stand.
