Protekt Pediatric Wheelchair, Elevating Leg Rests
Protekt Pediatric Wheelchair — Flip-Back Desk Arms, Elevating Leg Rests, Anti-Tippers
Overview
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 easy push-to-lock wheel locks make stops simple and secure.
A padded nylon seat with an included cushion keeps things comfortable and is 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″ — the two share the same features and differ only in dimensions. Both support up to 250 lbs, are backed by a limited 3-year warranty, and come in three bright, kid-approved colors: Blue, Pink, and Yellow.

Equipment Specialist Insight: A couple of details make this one genuinely caregiver-friendly. The height-adjustable push handles are easy to overlook but they matter — a taller and a shorter caregiver can each set a comfortable pushing height, which saves your back over time. And the detachable elevating leg rests plus the included cushion are the comfort combination for a child who spends real time in the chair. Use hip width to choose between 12″ and 14″, and check the seat depth too (12″ vs 14″) so it supports the thighs without pressing behind the knees. One practical heads-up: at roughly 39 lbs this is a sturdy chair rather than an ultralight, so plan for that when lifting it into a car. And let the child pick the color — a chair that feels like "theirs" gets used a lot more happily.
