Argos sell them for about 100quid

Shopmobility certainly do have paediatric-sized wheelchairs to loan for up to 6/8 weeks.

 

Contact them, on 0114 281 2278 and arrange to call in, to pick one up (remembering to bring along a £20 returnable deposit, and some "ID", like rent book, blue badge/ utility bill/ driving license etc)

C&P do hire them out, but make some obscenely ridiculous charge like £20 a week for them.

 

As I said above, ShopMobility loan them out for free, all you need is a £20 deposit and proof of ID. far cheaper, and far mor simple.

Red Cross might be worth a try. Have loaned a wheelchair from them for mum-in-law a few times in the past. Don't know if they still do it. Small donation required
