The Standard paediatric wheelchair shown here is correct for young children, with a range of seat widths and depths. It has an easy folding lightweight frame, and the option of elevating legrests and cushioning for comfort. It is extremely important that not only the width, but also the depth of the seat is correct for the child. If the seat is too deep, then sores could result at the back of the knees. If the child is sitting too far forward, the legrests will not be working the hinge point of the knee.

The Viscose Gel Seat Cushion is a shaped seat cushion that can help to reduce the pressure of prolonged sitting in a wheelchair.

The Telescopic Budget Channel Ramp is relatively lightweight and easy to attach and features a non-slip surface. A great portable solution for wheelchairs when negotiating thresholds, kerbs and steps. Available in lengths from 4ft to 7ft.
