Ultra-Lightweight
The Helio Kids is one of the lightest paediatric folding wheelchairs on the market. Made of high-performance carbon fibre for peak lightness and strength to ensure maximum agility, everything from the swing-away footrests to the forged aluminium axle plates was chosen with weight reduction in mind.
Adjustable and Precise
Kids grow fast, and Helio Kids is designed to grow right along with them. It only takes a few minutes to increase the seat depth by up to 7.6 cm (3 inches) in almost infinite increments for greater precision. The footplate height can be adjusted just as quickly and easily, ensuring your child is always comfortable.
Manoeuvrability and Ease of Propulsion
Ease of propulsion is an undeniable plus, and with the Helio Kids, you'll enjoy remarkable agility. The molded cross brace maximizes the frame's stability, saving your child considerable energy on a daily basis to make every push count.
Sturdy and Stability
T700 carbon fibre is an ideal material for making high-performance wheelchairs due to its incredible strength and stability. Unlike standard two-part frames, Helio Kids has a rigid unibody (single) frame, which makes it much stronger. Kids can be tough on their wheelchairs, but this chair was made to last, serving your child for many years to come.
Our Verdict
If you're looking for a lightweight wheelchair ensuring greater freedom of movement for your child you'll have to consider the Helio Kids Wheelchair. Adapt the wheelchair with cushioning options and perhaps consider the Benoit Systemes Light Drive Mini 2.1 Power Add-On which would enable your child to drive on all types of terrain and overcome obstacles easily. Take a look at some comparables on display in our Showroom now, like the Ki Mobility Little Wave XP Rigid Wheelchair which is similarly lightweight and portable.
