Seating and Positioning
Growing kids need options! While a wheelchair or stroller and its associated seating system will often meet many of a child's mobility and positioning needs, many kids also need other seating options to use during the day.
ETS understands the needs of growing children and their developing bodies. That's why we stock a great range of seated positioning equipment that allows kids to experience their world from a variety of different situations.
Like all ETS equipment, most models are available for demonstration and trial.
