Children’s Wheelchairs Key Considerations
Children’s wheelchair needs are different from those of adults as potentially they will need smaller chairs that can be adapted as they grow.
Factors to be considered when choosing Children’s Wheelchairs
- Children requiring wheelchairs are no different to other kids, the only difference is they depend on a wheelchair to get around.
- When choosing a children’s wheelchair many factors have to be considered, such as colour, style and weight.
- The daily duration of time your child will occupy the wheelchair
- Does your child require specialist seat cushions?
- Where will the wheelchair be used for the majority of its time e.g. indoors or out?
- Does your child participate in sporting activities?
- Will the wheelchair help the child experience a childhood that is as close to normal as possible?
