Can a Getabout Buggy suit smaller kids

One of the most common comments we hear is “ my child has very little strength in their body, so needs lots of support” so the first revision was to build in the ability to fit laterals, a pommel, hip guides, even a foot base, then design them and make them. We made them universal so they fit any of our buggies and are tough and waterproof.

soon people started asking “I have a young child who is small and has very little strength or control in their body”, so we tried making a smaller size Buggy. During testing we found it to not be as stable as we would have liked, and tended to get caught easily as you were going onto the beach, this was due to its shorter wheelbase and it not being so wide. The solution to this was “ The capsule” a smaller seat , legrest and footplate that simply makes a seating system for a small child, right down to a backrest to knee length of just over 20cm- so it will fit children who are not even a meter tall. As we also saw the smaller children loose strength fast if trying to hold themself in position we designed to take the laterals etc. The other advantage from this is not only are the accessories able to be used, but so is the buggy as they grow!

The capsule fits into position as you put it together, taking seconds to fit, and removes just as easily. it even allows the front to be used as a bag carrier

We know few other Beach Wheelchairs have this ability, and there is nothing to stop you converting it to off road use as well!
