What Defines This Pediatric Wheelchair
Sized for Kids

Kids Can Push Themselves
20" composite mag wheels with aluminum handrims are sized for small hands and arms.
Flip-Back Desk Arms
Padded desk-length arms flip back and come off so kids can pull up to a desk or table and transfer from the side.
Adjusts as They Grow
Back height adjusts from 18" to 20", casters have three height settings, and riggings adjust in length without tools.
Footrests or Elevating Legrests
Choose swing-away footrests or elevating legrests, with composite footplates and heel loops.
Folds to 12"
A folding steel frame fits in the trunk for school, therapy, and family trips.
Measure before you choose. Have your child sit on a firm surface and measure across the widest part of the hips. The seat should be about 1" wider. Call us with the measurement and we'll help you pick 12" or 14": 1-866-218-0902.

Wheelchair Measuring Guide
Wheelchair Measuring Guide
Wheelchair Measurements:
- Hip Width:
Use this to figure seat width if it is the widest point. - Widest Point:
Measure the widest area across the lower extremities if different from the hip width. This may influence seat width or arm style. - Chest Width:
Measure the widest point of the thorax just below the armpit. This measurement may influence system width or back width. - Heel to Knee:
Use this for legrest extensions and seat height. - SRP to Knee (Seat Reference Point to Knee):
This will determine the seat depth. - Elbow to SRP (Elbow to Seat Reference Point):
Measure this width with the arm in a 90-degree angle at the elbow and the shoulder in a neutral position. - Shoulder Height:
This will determine the height and the style of the back panel or the start for a custom back. - Head Height:
This will help determine the proper headrest height.
