Orbit
™
has revolutionized the world of pediatric tilt-in-space chairs. Its combination of
ingenious functionality and practical convenience sets it apart as the chair that will serve as the
benchmark for years to come. Its detachable seat frame makes the chair easy to transport and
allows the caregiver to mix and match seats and bases for results never before possible. A flared front end
offers more lateral stability, more space for foot positioning, and room to accommodate the optional bilateral
contracture footrest. Features like the full 55˚ tilt range, adjustable pivot point, telescoping front riggings, and
brilliantly designed axle plate allow the Orbit to be tailored to the needs of almost any pediatric tilt user. The
search for the perfect pediatric tilt-in-space wheelchair ends with the Invacare Orbit.
