Pediatric Wheelchair for Kids

The wrong wheelchair does not just cause discomfort. It can lead to pressure sores, poor posture, and a child who dreads sitting in it. At Bombay Surgical, we carry the Arrex child wheelchair range that is compact, foldable, and starts at just 6 kg, designed for kids who need real support.

Collection: Child Wheelchairs

Every measurement on a proper child wheelchair matters, including seat depth, backrest angle, footrest height, push handle position, and overall fit. A child spending four to six hours daily in the wrong chair can develop spinal and postural issues. Proper child wheelchair dimensions are not just technical specifications. They directly affect comfort, breathing, alignment, and long-term support.
The Arrex Airlift weighs only 6 kg. It folds to 29 cm, fits easily in a car boot, and the aluminium frame supports up to 100 kg. It includes a safety belt, attendant foot brake, flip-up armrests, 32 cm seat width, and 45 cm seat height. Need more space? The Arrex Nanuk offers a lightweight aluminium build with extra room while remaining easy to carry. Both are practical lightweight folding child wheelchairs designed for daily use.
The Arrex Tino-X weighs 7 kg and adds lift handles, attendant brakes, a calf strap, and a 37 cm seat width while folding to just 25 cm. For children attending therapy regularly or navigating uneven surfaces, these added control features make daily movement safer and easier for caregivers.
Families often underestimate how much a wheelchair can affect therapy outcomes for children with cerebral palsy. A poorly supported child sitting in a chair without recline, arm support, or positioning adjustment may work against therapy progress. Arrex Tini includes a reclining backrest, adjustable armrests, adjustable seat angle, solid mag wheels, attendant brakes, and a food tray. The Arrex Nona-X is another premium option for children and young adults with complex mobility needs.
Three measurements matter most: hip width, thigh length, and ground-to-seat height. Hip width determines seat width. Add 2 to 3 cm clearance on each side. Thigh length determines seat depth. A seat that is too deep can press behind the knees and reduce circulation. For a wheelchair used daily, proper sizing is essential. Measure first, then choose the correct model.
Child Wheelchairs
Seat width should allow 2 to 3 cm clearance on each side of the hips. Seat depth and height should also match the child properly.
