Dietz Sango Junior Powerchair
Summary:
The Dietz Sango Junior Powerchair is designed to provide tailored solutions for children and teenagers, up to 75kg.
Its key strength lies in its adaptability, offering a range of configurations to meet specific mobility needs, whether it’s for children with complex seating requirements or those wanting more bespoke functionality.
Accessories:The most common adaptations used include: laterals, headrests, thigh guides, footplates, trays, seat belts, and wing mirrors.
Ergonomic comfort and adaptability:
Sango chairs also stand out for their specialist seat and back cushions, which have been built to offer superior comfort and ergonomic support. There are a wide array of seat and back cushion shapes and sizes, allowing the chair to be grown and to maintain comfort as their body changes.
Safety:The chair is also crash-tested according to ISO 7176-19 standards, ensuring it is safe for transportation in vehicles.
Personalisation:With various colour options for the chassis, users can not only experience functional comfort but also express their personality through their chair’s design.
Drive Options:Tailored to your environment the Sango Junior offers three different drive systems, allowing users to choose the best option based on their lifestyle:
-Mid-Wheel Drive (MWD): If you need exceptional manoeuvrability, especially indoors, the mid-wheel drive is ideal. It's perfect for navigating tight spaces, making it a favourite for users who spend a lot of time indoors, like at school or home. Outdoors, the MWD still performs well, offering stability and traction on various terrains.
-Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): Ideal for mixed-use environments, the FWD offers great indoor turning ability and large front wheels that make outdoor travel smoother by easily overcoming obstacles like small curbs or rough terrain. While it might feel different at first, many users find it a great all-around choice once they get used to it. This drive type is only available on the Sango Advanced Sego Junior.
-Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): This is perfect for users who prioritise outdoor performance and speed. With excellent traction and stable steering, even at high speeds, it’s a great choice for users who spend more time outdoors. Additional options like sprung front forks or a kerb climber (which handles curbs up to 9cm) further enhance the outdoor capabilities. Like FWD, this drive type is only available on the Sango Advanced Sego Junior.
Common questions:
What Sets the Sango Junior Apart?
One of the Sango Junior’s unique selling points is its high level of customisation, and it can be adapted for a wide range of needs. Whether it’s adjusting the seating system for growth, adding specific posture supports, or configuring the controls to suit an individual's strength and mobility, the chair grows with the user. The SEGO Junior seating system’s powered adjustments allow for personalised positioning, ensuring comfort and support as physical needs change.
The modularity of the chair means parts can easily be swapped or upgraded. The ability to fine-tune the chair to suit different conditions or changing needs sets the Sango Junior apart from more rigid systems on the market. Kids love this chair not only for its comfort but also for the control it gives them over their seating and movement, plus the ability to choose colours and styles that reflect their personalities.
A further option for the smallest users is the Sango Slimline Sego Junior. With its even narrower seats, backrests, and tailored seating supports, it provides the precise fit and support that standard wheelchairs often lack for smaller builds.
