I
nvacare took the best the Solara™had to offer and built it into a size that’s perfect
for pediatric consumers. The Solara
™
jr. is special because it keeps the consumer’s
center of gravity almost perfectly stationary throughout the entire 50º tilt range.This
gives the Solara jr. a compact wheelbase while maintaining excellent stability, providing
comfort and security for the pediatric consumer. And it can help decrease startle reflex,
since the consumer is tilted into the frame rather than around a fixed pivot point. Plus,
the Solara jr. is lightweight and compact, so it’s easy to transport. Better for clients.
Better for caregivers. Simply a better pediatric tilt-in-space chair.
Shown on cover: The Solara™jr.is shown with T-arms, 12'' rear
wheels, 6'' composite urethane 6-spoke casters, adjustable-angle
stroller handles and Electric Purple frame.
