Standing
The LEVO KID & JUNIOR is not only an active wheelchair. It is also a standing aid which enables
your child to stand up quick and easy whenever and wherever it needs to.
8.1. General tips
•
Standing up stresses the body in a way you might not be used to. Therefore consult your
doctor or physiotherapist before your child will stand up in the LEVO KID & JUNIOR,
and ensure that your child does not suffer from conditions (e.g. strong contractures) which
make standing potentially harmful.
•
Just bring the LEVO KID & JUNIOR into the standing position on firm, level ground (risk of
tipping over).
•
Apply both brakes on the LEVO KID & JUNIOR before standing up.
•
Please beware of parts of the wheelchair where one might conceivably trap or catch parts of
the body when sitting down, in the space between the backrest and the skirt guard as well as
between seat and chassis frame. Be sure to protect yourself and accompanying persons from
possible injuries.
•
The most important safety features are the knee support and chest strap. Always ensure
that these items are fastened correctly before your child stands up in the LEVO KID &
JUNIOR (risk of accident).
Think about the knee
support and chest strap
before you stand up.
