Coolest DJ Wheelchair Costume

DJ Sean is our special needs child who loves music.  He is wheelchair bound and we decided after seeing a picture of a DJ wheelchair costume a year ago, to make our own version.  A ton of people love the costume; and enjoyed the old school DJ / dance music.  Lots of questions were asked as to how it was done; how long it took and how the music played. Some kids said it was the best costume they had ever seen.  Sean loved the costume and enjoying it for his 10th birthday on the 30th, as well as for Halloween.
