Permobil Koala R-Net Power Wheelchair
Overview:
The Permobil Koala R-Net Power Wheelchair is a compact paediatric option designed to grow with toddlers and young children. With seat elevation, powered tilt and a low seat height, it supports developmental engagement in home, school and community environments.
Description
The Permobil Koala R-Net Power Wheelchair is a scaled-down option with the full performance of Permobil’s adult chairs. Its front-wheel drive base and robust motor technology offer stable, reliable movement, while its paediatric design supports growth, comfort and participation over time.
It features Miniflex power seating with up to 25° of powered tilt and seat elevation to support postural changes and functional reach. A low seat-to-floor height of 38.1 cm (15”) allows children to interact at peer level, with easy access to surfaces like tables and play areas.
Manual recline and leg elevation provide added positioning support for rest and stability throughout the day. Seat width and depth adjust from 25.4 cm – 35.6 cm (10” – 14”), with three backrest height options to suit different growth stages.
For added peace of mind, optional features include a footplate bumper to reduce impact from accidental collisions and a remote stop system for caregiver control.
Bright, bold frame colours make the Koala appealing and fun, while R-Net electronics ensure responsive, user-friendly control.
