Purchasing age-appropriate mobility equipment for disabled children can be a frightening task for mothers and fathers. Naturally, you require the very best supportive equipment for your child.
There have been some big changes to children's disability products in recent years. During the past, children were supplied with adult sized wheelchairs that simply had padding added into the seat to make them higher and narrower. Obviously this was unsatisfactory and so smaller wheelchairs where designed specifically for kids.
The problem was that some parent and carers found it unsatisfactory to put their toddlers into a wheelchair when they felt they still needed to be in a buggy due to their age if not their disability.
In Sweden things were significantly different. Young children with special needs were given state of the art highly adapted buggies that were acceptable to age and disability. Swedish manufacturer Alvema came out with the Max which was considered, at the time, to be the Rolls Royce of pushchairs. Alvema have continued in this vein since then and have subsequently released several other models onto the market. All of which are of the same high standard as the orignal pushchair.
Rainbow Mobility have been distributing supportive pushchairs for kids with special needs for over twenty years and have seen the numerous changes take place over that time period. Rainbow respect a parent's concern for their child and subsequently do free assessments as standard before any sale so that parents and carers can be absolutely sure that their child is getting the right pushchair for their needs.
The Alvema Ito and the Alvema Pixi pushchairs Rainbow supply are a few of the best on the market today. Alvema have managed to successfully cross the gap between obvious wheelchair and disability-appropriate pushchair and, at all times, keeping the user's dignity and comfort and that of their parents and carers, at the forefront of design.
