    Make sure that during the following steps both of you are safeguarded by an experienced and strong assistant! • Lock the parking brakes and the drum brake and put your child into Siro II. • Carefully practise the wheelchair’s behaviour on shifting the centre of gravity in all 4 directions! Make your child reach for objects, holding them further and further.
