Our Selection of Pediatric Wheelchairs
When it comes to wheelchairs, the needs of young children differ from those of adults. In terms of aesthetics, children's devices are often sleek and vibrant, while functionally, they are typically lightweight and adjustable. As any parent can attest, children grow rapidly, and since a wheelchair is a significant investment, you'll want to ensure it remains useful even as your child grows. That's why our selection of kid's wheelchairs includes models with adjustable seat width and depth, elevating leg rests, and other versatile features. If you're seeking a safe and affordable mobility solution for the child in your care, you've come to the right place.

Pediatric Wheelchairs
Here are a few things to consider when researching a wheelchair chair for kids.
User size and weight - The child's size and weight will determine both the seat size and the seat-to-floor height of the chair, particularly if your child is still growing, which you'll need to take into account. To determine the appropriate seat width, have the child sit on a measuring tape, and add an inch (or two if the child is growing) on either side. Additionally, measure from the bend in the back of the knee to the bottom of the foot to determine the necessary seat-to-floor height.We strongly suggest you speak with a professional to get the right measurements made.
Chair weight - Lighter chairs allow for easier use and transport.
Support - Some chairs like the Kanga TS Pediatric Folding Tilt-In-Space Wheelchair offer lateral support cushions and a five-point harness for children with weak upper torso control.
Travel - If your child will be going on a school bus, we strongly suggest a wheelchair that has been crash-tested for bus transit. Transit tie-downs are often required when traveling on a school bus or van.
