The Cub Kids' Tilting Manual Wheelchair, 45 Degree Tilt is designed for children who cannot sit up by themselves, reposition themselves, or hold up their heads, and need a supportive seat with a minimum of 45 degrees of tilt, especially kids with cerebral palsy.
It has all-terrain capability, the transportability of a stroller, and easily adjustable positioning features to make the users, caregivers, and providers happy to use a highly functional and easy-to-use product.
The Cub has a lot of superior features that can change the whole care experience! Often, with the ability to tilt, users will have increased alertness, head control, hand and arm control. Also, there are important harder-to-quantify benefits to digestion, breathing, and blood pressure.
Before receiving an appropriate wheelchair, kids often cannot sit without sliding out of chairs or can only sit for a short period. After, the child can sometimes sit independently and comfortably for extended periods, which is ideal for socializing with friends and school, giving caregivers a much needed break.
