The Panthera Bambino 3 Wheelchair is available in a range of sizes to enable it to comfortably fit most children between the ages of 4 and 12. It features adjustments to it, such as the backrest position and footrest height that allow it to be refitted as your child grows, although it does not have the levels of growth adjustability (e.g. seat width growth) that many other paediatric active chairs have.
The dual-tube box frame and chrome molybdenum construction of the Bambino 3 make it exceptionally strong - ideally for a paediatric wheelchair, as they tend to get really put through their paces!
The Bambino 3 has a range of customisation options, from chassis colours to rear wheels, and sideguards to positioning supports.
Our Verdict
The Bambino is a robust paediatric wheelchair benefiting from Panthera's experience in lightweight, manoeuvrable active wheelchairs. We would recommend considering offerings from other manufacturers such as Ki Mobility's Little Wave XP and Little Wave Clik alongside the Bambino, as they feature more potential growth to the seat size, allowing them to last through several growth spurts, and also can be customised to a much higher degree.
