    More Information

    Expanding outside the classroom, the Rifton Large R870 Hi-Lo Base Activity Chair is just as useful at home. With its tilt-in-space technology, each pediatric activity chair can be angled for therapeutic needs and activities and does not require the use of tools or the child being removed from the chair to make adjustments.

    Built for growing with the child, each hi-lo activity chair is made of durable materials, including its polyurethane foam enveloped in healthcare-grade polyurethane-coated fabric seat and back pads. Available in six kid-friendly color choices, each seat and back pad set can be reversed for keeping a well-received appearance for longer-lasting wear. Additionally, they are easy to keep clean.

    With two arm support choices, it can be customized to fit a child's specific needs. With the forearm prompts, the child has better head and trunk support, ensuring strengthening posture control. For less stabilizing needs, the armrests are built for those that need lateral trunk support and upper body weight bearance. Additionally, they can be individually height adjusted to accommodate any child.

    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.

    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture A handhold can be attached anywhere along the rim of the tray to provide additional support and security for upper-body positioning.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture A butterfly harness can provide anterior support while allowing maximum freedom of movement.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture 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.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture A thigh belt can provide additional support and security for user's thighs, and helps adduct user's knees.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture 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.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture 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.

    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture The leg prompt can be used instead of an abductor and provides both abduction and adduction positioning.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture 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.

    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture Wedges can be added beneath the sandals on the footboard to customize the positioning of user's feet by adjusting sandal height and tilt.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture For the child that needs additional positioning, the lumbar and seat support kit can be used to custom-cut and fit extra postural support.
    Rifton Large Activity Chair with Hi-Lo Base - R870 Picture 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.

    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.
