Seating & Positioning Mini & Midi Ultima Both the Mini and Midi Ultima offer a great option for semi and non-ambulant users with moderate to severe seating problems. These dynamic tilt-in-space chairs incorporate the key principles of good seating while providing a comfortable and relaxing alternative to postural management chairs and wheelchairs. The chairs have body weight dispersing qualities via the luxurious Advanced Comfort Backrest, and the Reflexion foam backrest that moulds itself to the contours of the user. Duo Mini Day Chairs The Duo Mini has dynamic features providing precise positioning and postural management. The adjustability of the Duo Mini ensures the core principles of seating are met in terms of correct seat height, seat depth, seat width, arm height and back height. Combined with key features like headrest angle adjustment, back angle recline, tilt-in-space and leg rest elevation we ve created a supportive, yet comfortable seating solution. Pressure Relief qualities can be integrated into the Duo Mini Sunbeam Triton Supportive Seats Triton is one of the most versatile, modular seating system available, giving children the freedom to move whilst still being supported. With fantastic features, including the detachable back and leg rests, it is quick and easy to configure and provides a seating system to meet the exact specification of the end user. Triton accommodates clients with basic through to very complex needs and can be built to any size or specification. Supportive, comfy and highly practical the Sunbeam is an easyto-use, postural supportive seat for babies and young children. Its adjustable features are designed to help provide correct hip and spine positions, ensuring correct growth and development. The tilt in space and recline functions also aid the gradual development of head control. The gentle rocking action enables you to gently rock your child to sleep in any position, reducing unnecessary handling and can be disengaged when not needed. A large tray area allows the sunbeam to be used as a functional seat as well as a feeding chair. The cover is removable and washable. Carrot 3 Travel Seat The Carrot 3 is suitable for ages 3-12 years and is one of the best solutions available keeping them safe and comfortable whilst travelling. The seat depth, as well as the height of the back rest can be increased remarkably to grow with your child.

Handcycles - Every kid needs a bike! Hand cycling is not only a great recreation but also a great way for your child to get aerobic exercise. The benefits of cycling to health, physical conditioning and quality of life are many and include improved muscle strength and improved stamina. Coyote Manual Handcycle Kiddy Coyote handcycles are quick release wheelchair attachments designed to fit the majority of rigid frame wheelchairs and will transform your child s wheelchair into a brilliant lightweight, sleek, and sporty handcycle. Gear Changing: A gear shifter is mounted on the handlebar. The unique design of the geared hub allows gear shifting whilst pedaling; the rider can also shift gear when stationary. In practice we have found that children rarely use the gear shifter and tend to use just one speed only. Brakes: There are no brake levers to contend with, no cable adjustment and fumbling around trying to adjust brake blocks. The Kiddy Coyote comes equipped with a coaster brake commonly called a back pedal brake. Top End Lil Excelerator Top End Li l Excelerator Handcycle is stable, easy to use and safe for even the firsttime hand cyclist. The trouble-free 7-speed hub, with reverse braking, means your child s hands never have to leave the pedals. The Li l Excelerator Handcycle is an upright style handcycle that makes transferring in and out very easy. Totally adjustable, the Lil l Excelerator Handcycle will fit children 42 to 62 or kids aged approximately aged 5-15. Kiddy Viper Powered Handcycle A powered quick release front attachment designed to fit the majority of fixed frame wheelchairs and will transform your child s wheelchair into a brilliant battery powered trike. The electric system is one of the most robust e-bike systems available which is perfect to help your kids get up those hills. There is a speed limit of 4mph to help your child get used to the power assist but as your child gets older the speed can be attached via the potentiometer.
