ATP Series
Pediatric Pictorial
Setting kids into motion — so they chase the
dog, fight with siblings, grab things they shouldn’t — is the
ultimate goal of early-intervention mobility. Keeping
kids in motion — playing sports, rolling with friends,
participating in school performances — is the goal as they
grow. This special pediatric section reaches toward
those goals in a number of ways, from showing
off seating & mobility that supports and facilitates
function, to getting specific with case studies and the
clinical philosophy of 24-hour postural management.
Little Wave Flip
Designed to make that first step
toward early-intervention mobility
more natural for both parents
and child, the Little Wave Flip
combines popular stroller design
elements with the durability and
functionality of a wheelchair. This
chair offers tilt-in-space positioning
in a system that’s easy to
grow; the tube-in-tube seat rail
design is modular so changes can
be made without replacing parts. Seat widths from 10" to 18"; seat
depths from 12" to 20".

Custom Seating
Seating that doesn’t match its user’s specific needs becomes more
limiting than functional. Stealth Products creates custom linear
seating using the highest-quality
materials and pays close attention to
detail to create the correct combination
of base, foam and cover that
meets the client’s current needs and
also grows as needed. Standard and
customized back packages, plus back
inserts, are available.

R82 Stingray
Adjustments, comfort and lightness in steering are key attributes
of the Stingray wheelchair, which boasts a 180°
turnable seat, even with the child seated. Angle
adjustability makes it easy to find exactly
the position that’s best for any user. With
an efficient suspension and a safe and
secure braking system, the R82 Stingray
is easy to drive for parents while offering
functional positioning for the child.
