Otto Bock Healthcare's new Bravo Racer, is a rigid wheelchair made for the active child. It has attractive styling, is available in a wide range of striking colours and offers options of really eye-catching spoke protectors – all vital factors to personalise the chair and project the ‘cool' image so vital when you are young.
However, the Bravo Racer is much more than a fashion accessory. Although lightweight [a little over 8 kilos including footrest, side panels and drive wheels], the rigid frame makes this new chair not only robust and stable but also manoeuvrable and responsive to the owner's touch. Aside from superior appearance and performance – the two major considerations for the active child – the Bravo is also extremely practical.
The seating unit is separate from the frame so that changing seat height, position or angle is quick and easy and the size of the seat itself has great adjustment potential in width, depth and height, allowing it to grow with the child. The foot rest is generously proportioned to accommodate walking aids or orthotic footwear and is also adjustable. The spoke wheels in 20, 22 or 24 inch diameters] have a quick-release axle and, when they are removed and the backrest folded down, the chair is easily transported in a family car.
The whole basis of the Bravo's design is to offer maximum flexibility to the child and the parent or carer and the extensive range of options and accessories mean that almost any individual need – physical or aesthetic - can be catered for. The colour options for the Bravo Racer include glow-in-the-dark tints and even the high pressure pneumatic tyres can be colour coordinated. It is probably this, the sleek design and the cool accessories that give the chair such instant child appeal
