What if he has a neurological condition that makes walking long distances difficult? What if he plays wheelchair sports? What if he only needs a wheelchair while he recovers from surgery? He might assure a kid with a sports injury they'll be able to get up and go again. I'd like to see a physical therapy playset with dolls and equipment.
I love the physical therapy playset idea. Dolls always want to teach kids, "You can be anything," but sometimes they need to hear, "You can get through anything," instead. More therapy/medical themed playsets besides "baby doctor" would probably be really good for kids who are dealing with serious injuries or going through therapy to see it's not that scary.
Also, I'd like to eventually see one of the dolls with prosthetics actually have poseable joints on the prosthetics.
