Buggies & Wheelchairs

Choosing a Specialist Buggy or Wheelchair

Specialist mobility equipment should be chosen around the individual user rather than age alone. Important factors can include postural support, mobility level, transfers, growth, positioning, transport requirements and where the equipment will be used.

Specialist Buggies

Specialist buggies can provide greater support and adjustability than a standard pushchair while remaining practical for everyday family life. Features may include supportive seating, tilt or recline, harnesses, adjustable footrests and compact folding for transport.

Manual and Tilt-in-Space Wheelchairs

Manual wheelchairs and tilt-in-space models can provide more specialised seating and positioning for users who need additional postural support. Adjustable seating systems can help accommodate changing needs and growth over time.

Powered Mobility

Powered wheelchairs can give some children greater opportunities for independent movement. Products such as the Wizzybug are specifically designed to introduce powered mobility to younger children where appropriate.

Assessment and Fitting

Many specialist buggies and wheelchairs require careful assessment, configuration or fitting. An Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, wheelchair service or specialist supplier may be involved in helping determine the most appropriate seating and mobility solution.
