Letters From Our Therapists

The Convaid Cruiser is a popular, lightweight, and compact folding adaptive stroller designed for individuals with special needs. Its 30-degree fixed seat tilt uses gravity to assist with postural control, making it ideal for users with limited upper body strength. Each Cruiser is custom-built and features Convaid's Self-Tensio® self-tensioning seating system for enhanced sitting tolerance and neutral pelvic positioning. This adaptive stroller offers five years of growth capability through its tool-free seat depth extension system.

This pushchair is lightweight and easy to fold and carry. It comes in five sizes (10, 12, 14, 16, and 18) for users weighing up to 250 lbs. An optional Transit Package is available, meeting WC19 transport safety standards and allows the Cruiser to be used with a vehicle’s wheelchair tie down system. The attractive, highly durable Cruiser also offers numerous positioning accessories for unique support needs and it is made in the USA.

In Step 1 , select your Cruiser's size and upholstery. You have two primary upholstery options: Convaid Standard Fabric for comfort or Textilene for durability. Both can be upgraded to Heavy Duty Reinforced Upholstery, with some color restrictions. The upholstery is removable, washable, and comes in various colors, which you can preview in the Photo Gallery. Refer to the Size Chart Section to ensure a proper fit with room for growth. Convaid Upholstery for sizes 10, 12, 14 and 16 also comes with built-in Zipper Pockets in the back and sides to add your own additional padding and support if desired. Pictures are in the Photo Gallery.

Also in Step 1 , you can purchase the Transit Version of the Cruiser. This version includes Transit Anchor Brackets for use with vehicles with wheelchair tie-downs. The Headrest Extension, Trunk/Pelvic Positioning options, and Foot Positioners are required for the Transit Version. The Cruiser's Transit Version has passed WC19 & ISO7176 transport safety standards.

In Step 2 , you'll select Trunk and Pelvic Supports . The Cruiser includes a 2-Point Positioning Belt as Standard, unless you’ve chosen the Transit Model. The Transit Model requires a 3-Point Positioning Belt and your choice of an H-Harness or Full Torso Vest. For Sizes 10 and 12 Cruiser only a 5-Point Positioning/Restraint Harness can be chosen for children under 50 lbs.

Here are your options for trunk and pelvic support

In Step 3 , you can choose an optional Support Cushion for your Cruiser. The Upholstery of the Seat Cushion (Textilene Fabric vs. Convaid Fabric) must match the Upholstery you chose for the push chair. Note: If you have a Size 10 or 12 Cruiser Transit Model with the 5-Point Positioning/Restraint Harness, a Support Cushion cannot be used.

Here are your cushion options

*An optional Incontinence Liner can also be added in Step 3. This internal component sits directly beneath the upholstery to protect the foam.

In Step 4, choose your optional Head Support and Headrest Extension . ( Note: The Transit version requires a Headrest Extension. ) See the Photo Gallery for images.

In Step 5 , you'll select Foot Supports . Refer to the chart below and the Photo Gallery for details. ( Note: The Transit version requires Foot Positioners. )

In Step 6, you'll select your Tire Options . You can view pictures in the Photo Gallery, find standard tire details under the Features Tab and read the Understanding Tires article for guidance. For all stroller sizes except Size 10, you can add Front Wheel Caster Locks . These improve stability, especially on uneven or loose outdoor terrain, when engaged.

In Step 7 , choose your Push Handle Style: one-piece or two-piece (refer to the Photo Gallery for visuals). Opting for a one-piece handle allows you to add an Attendant Hand Brake . This brake, similar to a bicycle brake, provides controlled mobility on inclines by connecting to the wheel lock. The one-piece handle is also height and angle adjustable to comfortably fit various height caregivers. Please note: The Attendant Handbrake is not available for Size 18 Cruiser .
