Carbon pediatric folding wheelchair
The HELIO Kids C ultralight folding pediatric wheelchair by Motion Composites was designed to keep up with the active lives of children. Playing with friends, going to school, having fun and getting around easily… kids should be free to be kids! That’s why we chose a carbon fiber design that is incredibly light and improves everyday mobility while being exceptionally strong.
Boasting a colorful and fun look, HELIO Kids C will accompany the child as they grow through their busy days and life.
The HELIO Kids C features a lightweight carbon fiber frame that enhances ride characteristics with vibration damping. One-piece side frames and the symmetrical cross brace maximize the rigidity of the frame, saving your child considerable energy on a daily basis.
The result is easier propulsion, agile handling, and more energy left for what matters most: being a kid.
An optional depth-adjustable back (DAB) offers up to 3 in. (7.6 cm) of adjustment, and a growth kit is available to accommodate changes in width when needed; both helping maintain a proper fit and extend the life of the wheelchair as needs evolve.
In true HELIO fashion, the HELIO Kids C is built for adjustability, it features precise rear wheel positioning, and infinite caster housing adjustment.
HELIO Kids C is one of the lightest pediatric folding wheelchairs on the market. Precision crafted to maximize strength while minimizing weight, its durable carbon fiber frame design is built to withstand the realities of an active childhood.
Kids can be tough on their wheelchairs, but our carbon fiber is supported by our lifetime warranty on all carbon components including the frame. It delivers lasting reliability and performance without compromising mobility.
Designed with confidence in mind, HELIO Kids C offers a range of safety-focused options and configurations to support everyday use and transportation. Available WC19-compliant transit anchors help provide secure transportation when traveling in a motor vehicle, while options such as positioning belts and stroller handles offer additional support when needed.
The pediatric wheelchair with one-piece side frames, a depth adjustable back (DAB) that adjusts as you grow, and WC19 safety, all in one. Together, these thoughtful design choices deliver added confidence and peace of mind for children and caregivers alike.
Kids can express themselves and feel a sense of ownership over their wheelchair through independent color selections for the frame and footrest hangers, optional handrim colors, and a wide range of parts and accessories.
For even greater personalization and customization, EVO Custom provides tailored solutions designed around each child’s unique needs, preferences, and goals.
The right customization solution can be life changing for wheelchair users. EVO Custom lets you find the best options to make your HELIO Kids an even better mobility solution for you.
Personalize your wheelchair by coordinating or mixing up frame and footrest hanger color, or even by selecting an optional handrim color to express your unique self!
Beyond its core configuration, the HELIO Kids C also offers an expanded range of advanced options designed to fine-tune positioning, accommodate changing needs, or adapt to personal style. These added options empower both kids and clinicians to maximize the wheelchair’s potential.
HELIO Kids C is compatible with a range of NXT back supports and seat cushions designed to help users stay supported today while adapting to their needs over time.
