Exclusive in the UK to Hewerdine

The innovative dispensing approach of the SWINGBO system wheelchair for kids has been further developed to create the SWINGBO Plus for kids & adolescents.

The SWINGBO Plus has been designed to offer an active wheelchair for larger kids by increasing the load capacity to 75 kg, supplying the chair with larger seat depths and widths and using a roller bearing in the tilt function.

Different variants of push-bars and push-handles as well as different variants of backrest panels allow many possibilities of seat configurations:

• Tilt from -7° to +45°
• Backrest angle adjustable or foldable
• Growth adaption for seat depth and backrest height
• Foot rest system with 90° or angle adjustable knee angle
• Foot rest system adapted on the seat frame
• Foot rest bracket angle adjustable, flip up type, with optional lock
• Foot rest with or without heel stop
• Seat widths are available in 28 cm, 32 cm, 36 cm and 40 cm

The frame of the chair is designed with a wider footrest area to allow abducted seating postures can be obtained. The seat depth can be grown by approximately 12 cm and the backrest height by approximately 9 cm.

SWINGBO Plus - the modular concept

In order to supply the SWINGBO Plus to meet the needs of individual kids & adolescents the chair is made with a modular construction system.
Mobility base, seat panels, backrest panels and footrest systems can be ordered in any combination separately. Therefore many possible variations are available:

The chair can be configured with mobility base and totally modular seat and backrest panels with our standard cushions, partly modular and partly ready for custom seating or seat only that can be fit with totally custom seating solutions.

SWINGBO Plus - the active wheelchair

The essential preconditions for active riding are:

• The ideal positioning of the shoulder axle in relation to the rear wheel („active degree“).
• Therefore the axle of the rear wheel (positioned in the sideframe) is adjustable in six steps in longitudinal direction to make it more active or passive.
• An adjustable seat angle.
• The mechanism of the adjustment of the seat angle is designed so that the pivot is close to the center of gravity. This allows the seat angle to be adjusted without moving the centre of gravity.
• Adjustable backrest angle in increments from 75° - 120°
