Choosing the Right Wheelchair Seating
When choosing wheelchair seating for a child, it is important to consider their age, size, posture, mobility goals and the wheelchair being used. Seating should be selected with attention to fit, support, comfort and future growth where appropriate.
Many paediatric seating products are best selected with input from a therapist, assessor or experienced product specialist, particularly where pressure care, postural support or complex positioning needs are involved.
