More Information

Available with a number of additional positioning options, the Rifton Medium R850 Hi-Lo Base Pediatric Activity Chair provides children with contentment in each position without compromising their safety. Made with caregivers in mind, its toolless adjustments reduce the amount of time spent on making adjustments to the activity chair. Additionally, adjustments can be done while the child is in the chair, further minimizing the time spent on adjustments and allowing for more time focused on therapeutic needs.

For those with restlessness or anxiety, this Rifton activity chair supplies two options for the adjustable seat and back system: standard or with a back spring. As an optional upgrade, the backrest spring provides children with the ability to bounce and rock, soothing and calming them before, during, or after therapy sessions. For times that the spring is not needed or desired, it can be locked.

Made of durable materials, this hi-low activity chair comes with the choice of arm supports: armrests or forearm prompts. For added support and positioning, the forearm prompts are designed to provide the child with abilities that were once difficult to accomplish, such as utilizing a communication device on their tray. For simple support, the armrests are a great option for children that require additional trunk stabilizing and can be individually height adjusted.

With the choice of six upholstery colors, each pad is constructed of polyurethane foam enclosed in healthcare-grade polyurethane-coated fabric, making them easy to keep clean. Their cushioning is built for preventing pressure ulcers, or decubiti, ensuring a comfortable user. For maneuvering the activity chair, it is equipped with four swivel lock casters that can either be moved in a straight line or around tight spaces with ease.

ACCESSORY DESCRIPTIONS

Rifton Medium Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R850 Picture

Push handles provide an easy and ergonomic way for a caregiver to maneuver chair and transport user.

A headrest can be purchased with either a flat or contoured headpiece and adjusts both horizontally and vertically for optimum positioning.

Lateral supports provide comfortable side-to-side support for the user and are fully adjustable in height, width, and angle to assist in trunk positioning. Lateral supports can be purchased with or without chest strap attached.

Lateral supports with chest strap combine lateral and anterior support in the same accessory.

The wide chest strap can provide anterior support.

Note: This wide chest strap may be used with the lateral supports, but will not be in line with them. To combine chest strap and lateral supports on the same accessory, see "Lateral supports with a chest strap."

The tray provides a firm surface for seated activities such as eating and art and adjusts in height, angle and depth. A softly-rounded rim contains spills.

Note: The tray attaches to the wooden armrests only, not to forearm prompts.

A handhold can be attached anywhere along the rim of the tray to provide additional support and security for upper-body positioning.

A butterfly harness can provide anterior support while allowing maximum freedom of movement.

The slim-cut harness is similar to the butterfly harness but was specifically designed to provide anterior support to adult female clients using the Large Rifton Activity Chair.

A thigh belt can provide additional support and security for user's thighs, and helps adduct user's knees.

The pelvic harness may be used in place of a seatbelt as the primary means of securing the user in the chair. This alternative to the more typical seatbelt gives a very stable base for developing sitting postural control. The pelvic harness firmly positions the user's pelvis by securing the hips and upper thighs, without placing pressure on the abdomen.

Hip guides provide additional lateral support to the user's hips and can be independently adjusted for best fit. Hip guides are clipped to the arm supports and can, therefore, be easily removed along with the arm supports for transfers. Hip guides can be used with both types of arm supports-½" armrests and forearm prompts.

The abductor can be used to aid in positioning of user's knees, keeping them comfortably apart.

Adductors can be used to limit lateral movement of user's knees and provide a comfortable lateral boundary.

The leg prompt can be used instead of an abductor and provides both abduction and adduction positioning.

The footboard provides firm support for the user's feet, particularly when the seat of the chair is raised too far for the user's feet to touch the floor. The footboard also serves as a base for ankle straps, sandals, and wedges. It can support the weight of both user and caregiver during transfers, and/or can be swung beneath the seat for transfers.

Ankle straps can be used on the footboard to secure the user's feet while providing a bounded range of movement.

Note: Ankle straps cannot be used simultaneously with sandals.

Sandals can be used with the footboard to provide positive positioning of the user's feet. Adding wedges beneath the sandals allows for a custom fit of sandal height and tilt.

Note: Sandals cannot be used simultaneously with ankle straps.

Wedges can be added beneath the sandals on the footboard to customize the positioning of user's feet by adjusting sandal height and tilt.

For the child that needs additional positioning, the lumbar and seat support kit can be used to custom-cut and fit extra postural support.

The backrest filler pad can provide additional lower back support when the chair backrest is set in one of the three highest positions, resulting in an open space between the backrest and the seat. The backrest filler pad fills this gap.

Mini-kit: Makes the Small Activity Chair a prime option for Early Intervention for the smallest and youngest child, from 6 months up to 2 years. Remove it as the child grows and keep using the same chair for many more years.

Standard base leg options: Height-adjustable legs either stationary or with casters for the Standard base: Four sets of height-adjustable legs (in 1" increments) are available to position your client at the optimum height for a variety of activities. The grippy tips of the stationary legs are designed to keep your client from sliding and moving across the floor, even with dynamic rocking. The legs with casters are an added feature, making your standard base chair easy to move when transitioning from one classroom to another.
