TILT IN SPACE WHEELBASE – A STABLE FOUNDATION FOR SPECIALIST SEATING

Adapt

The Adapt is more than just a wheelchair base. It provides the strong foundation needed to build the right seating system around your child.
It is designed for users who need a specialist seating solution, whether modular, moulded, or custom-made, along with increased postural support and positioning. As your child’s needs change over time, Adapt can continue to support them, offering a flexible and reliable base that grows and adapts with them.

Suitable for

• 2 years old to adult (6′ 2″)
• Up to 110kg (17 stone)
• Individuals with:
– Cerebral palsy (GMFCS Level 3-5)
– Degenerative/progressive conditions
– Scoliosis, Kyphosis, or complex postural needs

Complex needs support

Designed for children and adults with more complex needs, Adapt works seamlessly with a wide range of specialist seating systems. It provides the stability, adjustability, and support required when a standard wheelchair is no longer enough.

Built as a true foundation

Adapt is designed as a strong, reliable foundation that supports your chosen seating system rather than limiting it. It works with most UK specialist seating systems and comes with a multi-fit mounting plate as standard, making it easier to achieve a secure and precise setup. This flexibility helps ensure your child’s seating can be tailored to their clinical needs while still allowing for future adjustments as those needs change.

Ready for everyday life

Adapt is designed for the people who use it every day, providing consistent postural support and greater comfort over longer periods, while also adapting as needs change over time.

For users, it helps maintain a stable, supportive sitting position throughout the day, and for attendants it offers height-adjustable push handles, predictable and stable handling, and reduced physical strain during everyday use, making it easier and more comfortable for everyone involved.

Support that evolves as your child does

Designed to grow and adapt

The Adapt is built to grow and adapt as your child’s needs change, with a modular design that allows for easy adjustment over time. It works alongside evolving seating requirements, helping to reduce the need for full equipment replacement as your child develops.

Introducing GrowthFit™. The Adapt Wheelbase System is engineered to provide consistent stability while accommodating changing seating and mobility requirements. Its flexible design supports evolving configurations, helping maintain optimal performance over time.
