Sounds cool. I used to do the same with my younger brothers and also in the halls of my high school with my friend on the back. In fact sometimes he would drive from there. He drove us around parts of Disney World like that at times... in a full wheelie all the way! We wore the anti-tips down to nothing. The wheels were gone and the metal casing was grinding the asphalt throwing occasional sparks!
So, to be "grown up" about it (if that's your wish), I guess you'd have to make sure the "Flip-Down Attendant Carrier" has wheels at the farthest point back. Otherwise the extra weight of an adult (especially) on the back would mean front casters hanging in the air while riding on the wheelie (anti-tip) wheels as rear wheels. I'm thinking small, castered inline skate wheels would work great!

Or I pulled them in wheelbarrows, and alike. But now she is to big and my new chair does not have anything to stand on. I think they should have a platform on the back of chairs that could flip down. Call it something like “Attendant Carrier”. It would be easy to make. Just a small platform with big castors on it. Attached to the back somewhere. Flip it down and your attendant just steps on it and holds on to your handles. Big enough to stand on, but small enough to flip up and not be in the way. I guess one more thing to add to the custom chair I want to build when I win the lotto J Greg
