A Kids Wheelchair That Grows with Your Child
Most children’s wheelchairs are fixed-size; when your child grows, you have to buy another. The Explorer Kids is different.
- Three seat widths: 25, 30 and 35cm – adjust to the next size as your child grows; no new wheelchair required
- Three seat depths: 25, 30 and 35cm, configured alongside seat width for correct postural positioning at every growth stage
- Three backrest heights: 36, 38.5 and 41 cm adjust to support your child’s back & spine as their torso lengthens
- Seat height: 50, 52.5 or 55cm – raises the footrest distance to match growing leg length
- Leg and footrest distance: 19–34cm, adjustable, this prevents feet from dangling or compressing the back of the thigh, both of which cause discomfort on long journeys.
Safety Features Every One Standard
The Explorer Kids includes a complete safety specification as standard, with no optional safety extras to purchase separately.
- Soft-touch 4-point harness quick-release buckle; secures the torso comfortably without restricting breathing or movement
- Lap belt, an additional waist restraint, working alongside the 4-point harness, for users who need greater postural security
- Frame-mounted brakes with an extension handle that both the child and the attendant can reach and apply independently; short-reach extension handles make braking accessible for smaller hands.
- Removable, adjustable anti-tip wheels with a foot tipper prevent rear tipping during kerb navigation and on slopes; the foot tipper allows the attendant to lift the front wheels over kerbs without bending, by simply applying downward pressure with a foot, to lift the front of the chair.
- Thigh and splash guards protect your child’s legs from wheel contact and keep them clean & dry on wet outdoor surfaces.
Wheelchair with Comfort
Every backrest comfort feature is adjustable, removable and covers are washable. Designed to meet the practical needs of a family with a mobility-impaired child.
- Adjustable tension backrest adjusts to your child’s back and gives the support they need; suitable for children with varying degrees of core strength.
- Removable, water-resistant stretch cushion covers are machine washable; practical for daily use by children who may have continence needs or who may spill food and drink.
- Padded flip-up armrests lift completely clear for side transfers from bed, sofa or vehicle seat; padded for comfort during use.
- Adjustable foot strap supports the lower legs and heels; prevents feet slipping off the footrests during longer journeys; detachable when not needed.
- Built-in thigh and splash guards prevent skin contact with rear wheels and help to keep clothing dry in wet outdoor conditions.
Designed for Child and Attendant, Both Can Use It Independently
