What Makes the Explorer Kids Recliner Different
Explorer is not a standard children’s wheelchair with a slightly adjustable back. Every key dimension reclines, adjusts, and grows with your child.
- Fully reclining high-back design reclines to nearly flat via gas-strut assisted stepless adjustment; suitable for rest, naps, therapy sessions and recovery
- Gas-strut assisted reclining, smooth, controlled angle adjustment to any position; no sudden drops, no effort is required from the attendant to change the back angle.
- The forward tilt function tilts the seat forward to aid toileting, forward transfers and reclines for important postural repositioning and pressure relief.
- Adjustable padded headrest with height, reach and angle all being adjustable; the semi-wraparound design supports children with limited head control, including those with cerebral palsy.
- Measuring 25.4mm × 2.0mm the thick walled aluminium alloy tubing provides exceptional rigidity for a wheelchair that will be reclined, tilted and adjusted repeatedly throughout the day
- Adjustable, padded, full length Lateral supports are included that can be located anywhere on each side frame to accommodate and help support your child where needed.
Fully Reclining for Your Child
Most children’s wheelchairs offer a fixed or slightly adjustable backrest. The Explorer Kids Recliner reclines to nearly flat with no resistance, no effort and no sudden jolts or movement via its smooth reliable gas-strut mechanism.
The benefits of a reclining wheelchair for children:
- Rest and naps during long outings: Children who cannot independently transfer to a bed or sofa can rest fully reclined in the wheelchair during school outings, shopping trips, or hospital visits.
- In medical and therapy settings, many sessions require the child to lie flat or at a specific reclined angle; the stepless gas strut allows the therapist or attendant to position the child precisely.
- Pressure relief: extended sitting in a fixed position increases pressure injury risk; reclining redistributes weight across the seat and backrest, reducing pressure on the sacrum and coccyx.
- Post-surgical recovery: Children recovering from spinal, hip, or lower-limb surgery who cannot sit fully upright can be transported safely in a reclined position.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of the Explorer Kids Recliner in Dubai?
The Explorer Kids Recliner is priced at AED 5,900, with free delivery across the UAE included. Flexible instalment payment options are also available.
Does the Explorer Kids Recliner recline fully flat?
Nearly flat, the gas-strut-assisted recline allows stepless adjustment from upright to almost flat. This is suitable for rest, naps, therapy, and post-surgical transport. The gas strut ensures smooth, controlled movement to any angle without sudden jolts or drops.
Is this wheelchair suitable for children with cerebral palsy?
Yes. The adjustable headrest (height, reach, and angle), lateral trunk supports, butterfly 4-point harness, anti-slip crotch pommel and forward tilt all address the postural management needs common in children with cerebral palsy. Dubai Mobility recommends a clinical assessment to confirm the correct configuration for your child’s specific profile.
What is the weight of the Explorer Kids Recliner?
The Explorer Kids Recliner Wheelchair weights 21.4kg. This is heavier than a standard children’s folding wheelchair due to the reclining mechanism, lateral supports and gas strut. It folds to 24cm width for storage and transport. Most SUV boots and large taxi luggage spaces accommodate it when folded.
Can this wheelchair be used for children during therapy sessions?
Yes. The stepless recline, forward tilt, adjustable legrests and headrest make it appropriate for use during occupational therapy and physiotherapy sessions. Dubai Mobility can coordinate the wheelchair configuration/setup with your child’s therapist on request.
What harness system does the Explorer Kids Recliner use?
This wheelchair comes with a butterfly-style 4-point harness “waistcoat” design that distributes harness pressure evenly across the torso, prevents forward sliding and has quick-release clips for fast removal. An anti-slip padded crotch pommel provides additional forward security and helps to keep the child within the seat.
Are the seat covers washable?
Yes. The breathable mesh seat and backrest covers are removable and machine washable, making them practical for children with continence needs or daily hygiene requirements. Their quick-release attachment means covers can be removed and replaced without tools.
Can I adjust the headrest for my child’s specific head control needs?
Yes. The padded semi-wraparound headrest adjusts in height, reach and angle, independently configurable to your child’s exact head and neck support requirements. This is particularly important for children with limited voluntary head control.
What medical conditions is the Explorer Kids Recliner suitable for?
Cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, multiple disabilities, post-surgical recovery and other conditions that require postural support, head control and the ability to recline. Dubai Mobility recommends confirming suitability with your child’s occupational therapist or physiotherapist before purchase.
Can I try the Explorer Kids Recliner before buying?
Yes. Visit Dubai Mobility’s large showroom and bring your child so our team can configure the seat, headrest, harness, and recline angle to their exact dimensions and needs. No obligation. Call +971 4 898 0300 to arrange a time.
