Lightweight, Manual Wheelchairs for Pediatrics and Adults

Dedicated to Helping Others Since 1976, Convaid has been dedicated to helping children with special needs. Convaid's mission is to be sensitive to the broad needs of physically challenged children, and just as important, sensitive to the needs of the caregivers. We aim to provide the best combination of corrective positioning, comfort, durability and safety for the child, in a product that is both attractive and very easy and convenient to use by the caregiver.

Our patented compact folding mechanisms allow our products to be easily carried up steps, placed in the trunk of the car or taken on buses/trains/planes. We took on the challenge of including this important feature on our new tilt-in-space positioning chair, the Safari Tilt. This resulted in the world's first and only compact-folding tilt chair.

In all, we manufacture five basic folding chair structures in a variety of sizes and models. This results in a choice of over one hundred chairs in a variety of colors, for which dozens of optional features are available. The unique nature of our designs has resulted in dozens of patents. Since 1990, our company has been an industry leader in crash testing children and adult chairs. We have healthy export sales and are well known in most major countries around the world.

Meanwhile, we are advancing the state of the art with our adjustable contour seating system, which will eventually include compact folding models. Our line of adult wheelchairs and pediatric manual wheelchairs is constantly evolving and many new product concepts are under development.
