Kids UP Inc. of Belgrade, Montana builds pediatric wheelchairs

For those children who need them, wheelchairs represent mobility and freedom, but for wheelchair designer Wayne Hanson, that just isn’t good enough.

"When a child sits in a traditional wheelchair, they’re trapped," Hanson said.

That’s why Hanson and his company, Kids UP Inc. http://www.kidsupco.com/index.html , have spent the past six months designing a new chair that not only grows with its user but allows the child to flex and bend naturally.
