The Mex-x is a folding children wheelchair offering variable options with regard to its configurations and colouring. Seat and undercarriage are constructed independently from each other so that the advantages of a folding wheelchair can be combined with the variability of a regular wheelchair with fixed frame. The colour combinations available and the number of spokes protection models reflect a design particularly suitable for children. To individually adjust the wheelchair, two frame lengths and three steering wheel sizes are available. The wheelbase is adjustable as well, and the seat can be variably adjusted to widths from 24 to 40 cm. The brake is integrated into the side part and easily accessible for children. In the same way, the front part of the frame has been widened so as to enhance legroom while sitting down or changing seats. The rounded shape does not just impart balance but also contributes to increased safety.
