Pediatric mobility and positioning equipment is built in child sizes, with each size carrying its own dimensions and weight rating. This collection carries the Nimbo posterior walker in five sizes, the Wallaby folding pediatric wheelchair, the P Pod and Seat2Go positioning seats, the FirstClass school chair, and the Pinniped pediatric commode.
Types of Pediatric Equipment in This Collection
Posterior walkers
The frame opens behind the child, who stands inside it and pushes with the frame following. The rear wheels are one-directional and resist rolling backward, with an override bracket to unlock them. Front wheels set to swivel or locked. Five sizes run XS to XL, rated 75 to 250 pounds, with handle heights from 15.5 to 41 inches. The frame folds by pressing the push pins and closing the front legs toward the rear.
Pediatric wheelchairs
The Wallaby carries 12-inch and 14-inch seat widths on 22-inch rear wheels with handrims, rated 150 pounds. With the WB8021 transit kit fitted, it is WC19-certified as a seat in a motor vehicle for users of 50 to 80 pounds.
Positioning seats
The P Pod sets a moulded seat into a bean-bag base whose angle adjusts, in four sizes fitting hip widths from 10.25 to 16.5 inches. The Seat2Go is a compact positioning seat in Small and Medium, 8 and 12 inches wide with 12-inch and 14-inch back heights.
School chairs
The FirstClass chair tilts its seat 15 degrees anterior or posterior, with flip-up height-adjustable armrests and a seat-to-floor height adjusting from 10 to 14 inches.
Pediatric commodes
The Pinniped is a child-scale commode chair, 17 inches wide overall, rated 250 pounds, with a removable 7.5-quart bucket.
How to Choose Pediatric Equipment
Sizing: each product page carries a per-size chart — match the child's measurements to it rather than choosing by age. The Nimbo's sizes each carry their own rating, from 75 pounds at XS to 250 pounds at XL; the P Pod sizes are chosen by hip width, trunk width, and seat depth.
Weight capacity: ratings in this collection run from 75 to 250 pounds and are printed as numerals on each product page, per size where the product has sizes.
Width: the Nimbo measures 24 to 29 inches overall depending on size, and the Wallaby 20 or 22 inches. Measure the narrowest doorway on the daily route before choosing.
The main decision: walking support or seated positioning? A posterior walker suits a child who steps with support behind them; the P Pod and Seat2Go hold a seated posture for a child who is not walking during that time.
Pediatric Equipment FAQs
What is a posterior walker?
A walker whose frame opens behind the child instead of in front. The child stands inside the frame and pushes it along, and the one-directional rear wheels resist rolling backward. An override bracket unlocks that feature when needed.
How do I size a pediatric walker?
Use the per-size chart on the product page, matching the child's measurements rather than age. Nimbo sizes run XS to XL with handle heights from 15.5 to 41 inches, and each size carries its own weight rating from 75 to 250 pounds.
What size P Pod does a child need?
The four sizes are chosen by measurement: hip widths run 10.25 to 16.5 inches, seat depths 11.5 to 17 inches, and shoulder heights 16.5 to 21.75 inches from Small through Extra-Large. All six measurements appear in the product's size chart.
What is the difference between a posterior and a standard walker?
A standard walker sits in front and is gripped ahead of the body. A posterior walker surrounds the child from behind, so the hands grip at the sides and the frame trails the direction of walking rather than leading it.
Does the Nimbo fold for transport?
Yes. Pressing the push pins lets the front legs close toward the rear legs, folding the frame flat. Frame weights run 9 to 16 pounds across the five sizes.
Can the Wallaby wheelchair be used as a seat in a vehicle?
Only with the WB8021 transit kit fitted, which makes it WC19-certified for vehicle transit for users weighing 50 to 80 pounds. Without the kit, the child transfers to a vehicle seat for travel.
