From cupcakes to the Millennium Falcon, volunteers with Shriners in Salt Lake City turn kids' wheelchairs into elaborate Halloween costumes

Cooper Baskett embodied Jack Jack from the movie “The Incredibles 2” as volunteers at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Salt Lake City transformed his wheelchair into the Incredimobile. Mimicking a fight scene with a raccoon from the movie, Cooper, 3, put his fists up as he delighted in the attention.

“This is something he gets to have all his own,” said his mother, Tonya Baskett, as they got their first look at his Halloween costume. Cooper, who has skeletal dysplasia, doesn’t get to run around like his cousins which usually makes the holiday difficult. However, this year the whole family plans to dress up as characters from the same family of super heroes.
