Who Rents a Pediatric Wheelchair?
A kids wheelchair rental for short-term use: a child-friendly 14" wheelchair built for kids up to 48" tall and 150 lbs, lightweight, foldable, and delivered free on your selected rental date.
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, or playing sports. Crutches can be hard for younger children to use. A pediatric wheelchair keeps them mobile while they're in a cast.
Family Travel & Vacations
Theme parks, airports, museums, and long walking days are easier with a right-sized chair. Rent for your trip dates only. We deliver and pick up.
Backup While Yours Is Serviced
Your child's regular wheelchair in for repair or warranty work? Rent a pediatric backup, delivered on your selected rental date, and keep school, therapy, and daily routines on track.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before renting a pediatric wheelchair.
Yes. We deliver a pediatric (kid's) wheelchair rental directly to your home, hospital, or hotel on your selected rental date. Free delivery, free setup, free pickup. Call (847) 696-6814 to confirm delivery to your specific ZIP code.
This chair is designed for children up to 48 inches in height and a maximum weight of 150 lbs. The 14" × 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 with their height and weight, we'll confirm before you book.
"Rent" and "hire" mean the same thing, you pay for short-term use and return the chair when you're done. We use "rent" on this page, but if you're searching for a "kids wheelchair hire" or "pediatric wheelchair hire," this is the same service. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates are available with free delivery and pickup.
Yes. The frame folds in half and the swing-away footrests are removable for compact storage. At only 29 lbs total, it fits in the trunk of any sedan, SUV, or minivan, perfect for trips to the doctor, school, vacations, or theme parks.
Yes. The push handles can be moved up or down to match the caregiver's height. This protects your back from strain during long pushing sessions and is especially helpful when multiple family members (mom, dad, grandparents) take turns.
The chair includes a seat belt, calf strap, and padded desk arms for both comfort and security. The rear wheel locking brakes keep the chair stationary during transfers in and out, and the swing-away footrests make those transfers easier and safer for both child and caregiver.
Minimal assembly is required, mainly attaching the footrests, which takes about 30 seconds. Our delivery team handles all setup at your home, including push-handle height adjustment for your caregiver. The chair is ready to use immediately.
Delivery is free and arrives on the rental start date you choose. For urgent situations (hospital discharge, sudden injury), call (847) 696-6814 to arrange.
Rental pricing depends on duration. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates are available, monthly rates apply for longer recovery periods. All rentals include free delivery, setup, and pickup. Call (847) 696-6814 for an instant quote based on your dates.
Yes, 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. Many families use both modes depending on the day.
Absolutely, this is one of the most popular reasons families rent. The chair folds compactly, fits in any car trunk, and is light enough to lift in and out of vehicles. Great for theme parks, airports, museums, and long walking days where your child needs support.
Every chair goes through a 4-step sanitization protocol: full inspection, deep cleaning of all surfaces, medical-grade disinfection (the same disinfectants used in pediatric hospitals), and a final inspection before delivery. Especially important for kids, who touch everything.
Yes, extensions are easy. Just call (847) 696-6814 before your scheduled return date and we'll extend the rental at the same daily rate. Most families end up needing a few extra days, and longer rentals automatically qualify for better weekly or monthly rates.

Yes, pay in 4 interest-free installments through Shop Pay at checkout. Helpful for multi-week rentals during a long recovery or extended travel.
