If your child is living with a medical condition such as cerebral palsy, it may be difficult for him or her to shift weight and sitting in one position for too long can lead to pressure sores. With a power tilt or power recline option, your son or daughter can independently reposition for pressure relief. TRU-Balance 3 on the Edge 3 Stretto can be adapted to your child’s unique posture. When your child needs a pediatric tilt wheelchair, the Edge 3 Stretto is a great choice!
