Edge 3 Stretto Pediatric Tilt Wheelchair

This seating system has many options to choose from. Available configurations include power recline, power tilt, power articulating foot platform, iLevel® power adjustable seat height and static seating. iLevel technology is extremely beneficial to your child’s independence. iLevel raises the seat of the wheelchair up to 12 inches and allows your child to drive the wheelchair while elevated at 3.5 mph on the Edge 3 Stretto. iLevel’s Extra Stability Technology® enhances safety for transfers, reach, grooming and many other daily living activities.
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!
