| When Claira Stanger is riding around on her Baby Bug, she may appear to be a toddler just having fun, but in this case, there’s so much more going on than that. The new invention is helping the little girl learn and grow. Of all the things Shelby Stanger thought she’d teach her toddler, driving wasn’t one of them. “A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, that’s so cute.’ They just think it’s a cute little toy, but I’m like, ‘Uh, it does so much more,’” said Stanger, a mother of two children who lives in Ogden. Claira, 1, was diagnosed with a condition called Arthrogryposis that causes joint stiffness, making range of motion limited. The “Baby Bug,” created at Shriners Hospitals for Children-Salt Lake City, is an adapted baby seat on wheels. |
