Design
—
Car. Design, reminiscent of ordinary cars. Such wheelchairs have 4 wheels, their design can imitate full-size cars of real brands, racing cars, etc. However in most cases, a small driver still has to sit "on horseback", like on a motorcycle.
—
SUV. A specific type of design for a car (see above), which imitates not passenger cars, but all-wheel drive off-road vehicles. Some "SUVs" differ from "cars" very slightly, others may have pronounced signs of 4x4 technology — for example, large wheels, dummies of additional headlights, "kenguryatnikov", etc. In this design, there are also models created with an eye on real car brands.
—
ATV. In fact, the key difference between this design and the “SUVs” described above is the steering wheel (or its imitation), made in the form of characteristic motorcycle handles — like on real ATVs. The rest of the features are largely similar, because. ATVs are also considered off-road vehicles and may have distinctive external features.
—
Motorcycle. Rollers imitating classic two-wheeled motorcycles. Typically, such designs are equipped with wide wheels, which allows them not to tip over even when stationary (unlike real motorcycles). However, wheelchairs of this type are among the most unstable, they require more caution from the rider than, for example, "cars". Therefore, in m
...ost cases, "motorcycles" are designed for the older age group.
— Tricycle. Design for three-wheeled motorcycles, with one wheel in front and two in the back. Similar models are in many ways similar to the “motorcycles” described above, but are somewhat more stable, due to which they are well suited for younger children.
— Steam locomotive. Rollers of this type, in most cases, practically do not differ in layout from the cars described above. Their only distinguishing feature is the peculiar shape of the hull, imitating, in fact, a steam locomotive.
— Airplane. Like the "steam locomotives" described above, this type of wheelchair practically does not differ from "cars" in its main features. However, the steering wheel in such models is often made in the form of a steering wheel, a rotating propeller can be installed in the front part, and the body, of course, is designed accordingly — with “tail”, “wings”, etc.
— Special equipment. Wheelchairs designed for various types of special equipment — dump trucks, tractors, etc. The design features of such models may vary depending on what exactly is being simulated.
— In the form of an animal. The traditional and most famous version of such a wheelchair is a toy horse, but this is not limited to this, and the design can imitate another animal — for example, an elephant or a dog.Wheel / skid material
— Plastic. Wheels made entirely of plastic; tyres as such do not have, its role is played by a thickened rim. Plastic is inexpensive and easy to process, in addition, it can be given almost any colour. On the other hand,
plastic wheels are very hard, and there is no question of any depreciation — even small roughnesses of ordinary smooth asphalt are transmitted to the structure in the form of tangible vibrations. And the strength of this material is also considered quite low.
—
Plastic with rubber. Wheels that combine plastic and rubber in construction. The first material usually forms the base of the wheel, and the rubber is only made into a thin, narrow strip around the rim where it contacts the ground. This somewhat softens the course, allowing you to save all the advantages of plastic (see above).
— Rubber. Wheels equipped with a solid rubber tyre — this is how they differ from the rubber-plastic ones described above. The base of the wheel is most often made of plastic, although there may be other options.
Rubber wheels perform best on bumps, which is why they are often found in models of the older age group.
— Wood. Wood is considered the most natural of the materials used in wheelchairs. From a practical point of view, it is almost completely similar to plastic, but it costs a little more.
Wooden wheels a
...re typical for wheelchairs in a classic design, since this material is used mainly for aesthetic reasons.Weight
The total weight of the wheelchair in working position. The lighter the weight, the easier it will be to move the device from place to place and the easier it will be for the baby to roll it; on the other hand, low weight usually indicates relatively low strength.
