Description
JOSI-go Rehab Stroller is a compact, highly configurable special needs buggy designed for children and young people who require supportive seating combined with practical everyday mobility.
Developed and manufactured in Germany, the JOSI-go has been designed around city life, family outings, travel and everyday use. Its lightweight, agile chassis is easy to manoeuvre and folds compactly for storage and transport, while the modular seating system can be adapted around the individual user’s size and postural requirements.
Five sizes are available, covering approximate user heights from 80 cm to 165 cm, with maximum user weights of 50 kg on XS, S1 and S2 and 80 kg on M and L. Seat depth, footrest position and push-handle height can be adjusted, while optional seat-angle and backrest-angle adjustment provide greater positioning flexibility where required.
Five Sizes from 80 cm to 165 cm User Height
The JOSI-go is available in five sizes, helping it accommodate users from smaller children through to teenagers.
Josi currently lists:
- XS: approx. 80–100 cm body height
- S1: approx. 90–115 cm
- S2: approx. 105–130 cm
- M: approx. 120–145 cm
- L: approx. 140–165 cm.
The wide size range makes the JOSI-go suitable for users at different stages of growth, but final size selection should be based on actual body measurements rather than age alone.
Up to 80 kg Maximum User Weight
Maximum user weight depends on the chosen size.
- XS, S1 and S2: up to 50 kg
- M and L: up to 80 kg.
This allows the larger JOSI-go configurations to accommodate older and heavier users while retaining the compact stroller-style chassis.
Compact Folding Frame
The JOSI-go is designed to fold quickly and compactly for transport and storage.
- Everyday family use
- Car travel
- Public transport
- Holidays
- Urban mobility
- Limited storage spaces.
The basic frame can be folded without tools.
Folded Weight from 13.8 kg
Depending on size, the JOSI-go weighs approximately:
- XS: 13.8 kg folded without wheels
- S1: 13.8 kg
- S2: 14 kg
- M: 16 kg
- L: 16.5 kg.
The removable wheels can help make the folded frame easier to handle when loading into a suitable vehicle.
Adjustable Seat Depth
Seat depth adjustment helps configure the stroller around the user and can provide some scope for growth.
- XS: 20–32 cm
- S1: 20–32 cm
- S2: 28–36 cm
- M: 34–43 cm
- L: 34–43 cm.
Correct seat depth is important for supporting the thighs while avoiding excessive pressure behind the knees.
Adjustable Seat Width
The JOSI-go provides an internal seating width of up to:
- 36 cm on XS, S1 and S2
- 42 cm on M and L.
Josi also offers an optional seat-width adjustment system using removable foam side guides, allowing the effective seat width to be reduced by either 12 cm or 18 cm depending on configuration.
Adjustable Footrest
The basic JOSI-go includes a footrest adjustable in height, angle and depth. Josi
Manufacturer-listed lower-leg length capability is:
- XS: up to 34 cm
- S1: up to 38 cm
- S2: up to 38 cm
- M: up to 52 cm
- L: up to 52 cm. Josi
This allows the foot support to be positioned more accurately to the individual user.
Fixed 15° Seat Angle as Standard
The standard JOSI-go specification uses a 15° seat angle. Josi
For users requiring greater positioning flexibility, an optional seat-angle adjustment system is available.
Optional Seat Tilt
Josi lists optional seat-angle adjustment of approximately 0°–35° on the main technical page. Josi
The current configurator gives the operational range as approximately 12°–38° depending on the setting and recommends combining it with the optional adjustable backrest. Josi
Because the manufacturer publishes slightly different ranges in these two current sources, I would describe this in Magento as “optional adjustable seat angle – configuration dependent” unless Josi confirms the exact UK sales specification.
Optional Adjustable Backrest
The standard backrest angle is listed as 110°.
An optional stepless backrest adjustment allows the angle to be changed from approximately: 100° to 140°.
This can provide greater flexibility for users who need different trunk positions during the day.
Adjustable and Removable Headrest
Optional headrest configurations are available. Josi currently offers a shell-shaped headrest that is height and angle adjustable, removable and adaptable. A version with increased lateral guidance is also available. This can provide additional head support for users who require it.
Flexible Lateral Support System
Optional lateral trunk supports can be fitted. Josi offers lateral support pads in multiple sizes, with adjustment for both width and mounting position. The manufacturer notes that the flexible backrest system is designed to adapt to the body. Compatible back cushions are available in several thoracic-width ranges.
Standard or Memory Foam Seat Cushion
The JOSI-go is available with standard seat cushion or an optional comfort cushion with memory foam. This allows the seating specification to be upgraded where additional pressure distribution or comfort is required.
Optional Abduction Support
Two types of abduction support are available. The standard soft abduction wedge is Velcro-fastened and removable, while the firmer Abduction Wedge Plus has a rigid core, screw fixation and adjustable depth. These accessories can help support pelvic and lower-limb alignment when clinically appropriate.
Foot Fixation Options
Josi offers padded anatomical foot fixation in several sizes, with options covering ankle circumferences from approximately 14 cm to 32 cm. Padded Velcro foot straps are also available in multiple sizes.These accessories can be useful for users who require greater stability and foot positioning on the footrest.
Height-Adjustable Push Handle
The standard chassis includes a height-adjustable push handle. This can help carers of different heights maintain a more comfortable pushing position.
Push Brake with Locking Function
A push brake with locking function is included as part of the basic equipment. The braking system helps the attendant control the stroller during everyday use and secure it when stationary.
Kerb Assist Aid
A tipping aid is included in the standard chassis specification. This assists the attendant when negotiating suitable kerbs and small changes in level.
6-Inch Swivel Front Wheels
The standard JOSI-go uses:6-inch front wheels. These removable swivel wheels feature locking function, allowing the front wheels to be used for manoeuvrability or locked when more directional stability is useful.
Optional 12.5-Inch Rigid Front Wheel
For users who regularly travel over uneven paths, Josi offers an optional 12.5-inch rigid front wheel.
16-Inch Pneumatic Rear Wheels
All five sizes use 16-inch pneumatic rear wheels with a recommended pressure of approximately 2.0 bar. The wheels are removable as part of the standard configuration.
Eight Frame Colours
The JOSI-go is currently available in eight frame colours:
- Crystal White
- Volcanic Gray
- Purple Violet
- Clay Red
- Glacier Blue
- Desert Sand
- Moss Green
- Mineral Ochre.
This provides families with more scope to personalise the stroller than many traditional clinical-looking rehab buggies.
