Sometimes pushing a wheelchair can be a strenuous job for the attendant. Especially if your partner, family, friends or others can not push your wheelchair well (slopes) or far enough. There are various power assisted support-systems available on the market. Not all systems are equally suitable for building in all our Kiddo wheelchairs (see PDF). Below you will find the most common power assits available, and indicate if they are suitable for our various Kiddo models. For more specific information by brand, please refer to the supplier's website.

In building the wheelchair and the choice of the right (customized) seat and back, we spend a lot of time to achieve the most optimal seating position. As soon as this has been found, it is important to maintain this position. 

Therefore, the application of one or more positioning means may be necessary. Our wide choice of fixation products offer a solution here and offer optimal comfort. The perfect support for both the upper body and the right support of the pelvis. Also position means for ankles and feet are available. All Veldink4kids wheelchair positioning means are easy to adjust and are made of comfortable, breathable, fabrics for maximum comfort.

• Hip Belts

  The right hip belt ensures a good posture and thus ensures better functionality. Hip belts help prevent slumping of the user in the wheelchair. There can be chosen for a 2 -point hip belt which is attached to the wheelchair at 2 points or a 4 -point hip belt. The 4 -point belt is attached to the wheelchair at four points and keep the pelvis tighter if this is desired.
