Protekt Pediatric Wheelchair, Elevating Leg Rests
Model: Pediatric Wheelchair, 250 lb Capacity (12" or 14" Seat)
Availability: In Stock β 12" or 14" Seat; Blue, Pink, or Yellow
Comfortable, Secure Mobility, Sized for Kids
The Protekt Pediatric Wheelchair gives kids comfortable, secure, everyday mobility in a size made just for them. Padded flip-back desk-length armrests make it easy to lift a child in and out or pull right up to a table, while detachable elevating leg rests raise and support the legs for added comfort during longer sits.
Height-adjustable push handles let a caregiver set the pushing height that's most comfortable for them, and push-to-lock wheel locks make stops simple and secure. A padded nylon seat with an included cushion keeps things comfortable and easy to wipe clean, and a pelvic seatbelt plus anti-tippers add stability and peace of mind. Choose the 12" seat for smaller children or the roomier 14" β both support up to 250 lbs and come in three bright, kid-approved colors.

Specialist Insight: A couple of details make this one genuinely caregiver-friendly. The height-adjustable push handles are easy to overlook, but they matter β a taller and a shorter caregiver can each set a comfortable pushing height, which saves your back over time. The detachable elevating leg rests paired with the included cushion make a real comfort difference for a child who spends significant time in the chair. Use hip width to choose between 12" and 14", and check the seat depth too so it supports the thighs without pressing behind the knees. One practical note: at roughly 39 lbs, this is a sturdy chair rather than an ultralight, so plan for that when lifting it into a car.
