The EIO Push Chair from Special Tomato is big enough to fit an average 8-year old...but does it fit your child?
Proper fit is critical for all adaptive equipment that offers postural support. The EIO Push Chair is ideal for children from early intervention to elementary school age. It accommodates children up to 90 lbs. (40.8 kg). As Physical Therapists, we know there are critical measurements to consider when choosing the right special needs pushchair for your child. Below is a list of measurements to consider before purchasing the EIO Push Chair.
- Your child’s WEIGHT in pounds or kilograms. This is an important measurement because the Special Tomato EIO Push Chair has a maximum weight capacity of 90 lbs. (40.8 kg)
- Your child's HIP WIDTH measured at the hip joint while seated. Measure a straight line straight across the lap. If you were to place two books on either side of the hips, measure straight between the two books instead of curving up and over the lap like a car seatbelt would. The Special Tomato EIO Push Chair has a seat width of 12" (30.5 cm).
- Your child’s THIGH DEPTH is also measured while seated. Make sure your child is sitting with his/her buttocks against the back of the seat. Measure a straight line (parallel with the seating surface) from where the buttocks contact the seat back to just behind the bent knee. The Special Tomato EIO Push Chair has a seat depth of 12" (30.5 cm). Note: Since the leg rest is angle adjustable, children who have a thigh depth measurement of less than 12" (30.5 cm) can be accommodated in the EIO Push Chair.
- Your child’s BACK HEIGHT to SHOULDERS is also measured while seated. Make sure your child is as far back as possible in the seat. Measure a straight line (parallel to the seat back surface) from where the buttocks contact the seating surface up to the top of the shoulders. The backrest height of the Special Tomato EIO Push Chair is 24" (61 cm).
- Your child’s BACK HEIGHT to TOP of HEAD is also measured while seated. Make sure your child is as far back as possible in the seat. Measure a straight line (parallel to the seat back surface) from where the buttocks contact the seating surface up to the top of the head. The backrest height of the Special Tomato EIO Push Chair is 24" (61 cm).
- Your child’s FOOT to KNEE HEIGHT is also measured while seated. Measure from the bottom of the shoe, up along the back of the leg to the back of the knee joint, where it is bent at 90 degrees. The seat to footplate height is 13" (33 cm).
