| RENT FROM US | BUY NEW | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Cost | Low daily/weekly rate | $500-$1,200+ |
| Delivery & Setup | FREE within 24H | $50-$150 shipping |

Rent Now, Save HundredsWho Needs a Pediatric Wheelchair Rental? 6 Common Situations
A child-friendly 14" wheelchair built for kids up to 48" tall and 150 lbs, lightweight, foldable, and safe, without paying $500-$1,200+ to buy a chair your child will outgrow.
Post-Surgery Recovery
After orthopedic surgery, tonsillectomy, or other procedures, your child may need a wheelchair for 2-8 weeks. Rent instead of buying a chair they'll outgrow before the cast comes off.
Broken Leg or Cast
Kids break legs, at recess, on the trampoline, playing sports. Crutches are exhausting for younger children. A pediatric wheelchair gets them through 6-8 weeks of healing without strain.
Family Travel & Vacations
Theme parks, airports, museums, long walking days, kids with medical conditions or limited stamina need support. Rent for your trip dates only. We deliver and pick up.
Backup While Yours Is Serviced

Short-Term Medical Needs
For kids with temporary mobility conditions, flare-ups, post-illness fatigue, or short-term disability, renting gives you the right-sized chair for exactly as long as you need it.
Try Before You Buy
Considering buying a pediatric chair? Test fit, comfort, and how your child handles the controls, before spending $500-$1,200+ on a chair they may outgrow within a year.

This chair is designed for children up to 48 inches in height and a maximum weight of 150 lbs. The 14" x 14" seat fits most kids from roughly age 4 through 12, depending on their build. Not sure if it'll fit your child? Call us at (847) 696-6814 with their height and weight, we'll confirm before you book.

Both. The 22" rear wheels include push rims so children with sufficient upper-body strength can self-propel. For younger children or those who need more support, the chair pushes easily from behind using the adjustable handles, which move up or down to match any caregiver's height. Many families use both modes depending on the day.
Absolutely, summer festivals are among our most popular family rentals. Taste of Chicago, Lollapalooza, and the Air & Water Show all mean long days at Grant Park, hard on kids recovering from injury or with limited stamina. We deliver to your hotel, home, or rental. Book at least 1 week in advance during festival season as availability fills up fast. Call (847) 696-6814 to reserve.
The chair includes a seat belt, calf strap, and padded desk arms for both comfort and security.

Yes. The frame folds in half, the footrests detach in seconds, and airlines check manual wheelchairs free of charge, cruise lines and trains accommodate them too.

The chair supports children up to 48" tall and 150 lbs, covering toddlers through pre-teens with room to grow during a rental. Kids typically need a different size only every 12-18 months, so most rentals finish well within one size. If your child does outgrow it mid-rental, call (847) 696-6814 and we'll swap the chair.
