B. CENTER OF BALANCE
Kid Kart mobility devices are designed for stability and performance. The point where
this device will tip forward, back, or to the side depends on its center of balance and
stability. The center of balance is also affected by:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The distance between the rear wheels.
The seat height and seat angle.
Backrest angle.
Changes in your child's body position, postures or weight distribution.
Pushing the mobility device on a ramp or slope.
The use of a backpack or other options, and the amount of added weight.
To maintain the proper center of gravity and balance:
•
•
Consult your therapist and supplier when the mobility device is set up.
Consult your authorized supplier or therapist BEFORE you modify or adjust the
mobility device.
C. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
Your child's weight may shift if you dress or change your child's clothes while they are
seated in the mobility device. To reduce the risk of a fall or tip over while changing
clothes or diapers:
•
•
Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
Engage the wheel locks
D. OBSTACLES
Obstacles and road hazards (such as potholes and broken pavement) can damage your
mobility device and may cause a fall, tip over or loss of control. To avoid these risks:
•
•
•
Scan the area well ahead for danger as you push the mobility device.
Make sure the floor areas ahead are level and free of obstacles.
Install a ramp at entry or exit doors. Make sure there is not a drop off at the
bottom of the ramp.
E. REACHING OR LEANING
If your child reaches or leans it will affect the center of balance of your mobility
device. This may cause a fall or tip over.
•
•
NEVER allow your child to reach or lean if they must shift their weight sideways,
forward, or backward and rise up off the seat.
If your child must reach, move the mobility device as close as you can to the
object they wish to reach and rotate the front casters until they are as far for-
ward as possible.
NOTE– To do this: Move your mobility device past the object you want to reach, then back up
alongside it.

F. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS
Pushing the mobility device on a slope, including ramps or hills, will change the center
of balance. A few safety reminders include:
1. Do not push this product on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope means:
one foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length.)
2. Do not turn or change direction on a slope or ramp.
3. For your child's safety, ramps at home and work must meet all legal requirements
for your area.
4. Always stay in the CENTER of the ramp.
5. Use a ramp with guardrails (or raised borders at least 3" high).
6. Always go straight up and straight down on hills or ramps.
7. Do not stop on a steep slope.
8. Watch for a drop-off at the bottom of a slope or ramp.
9. Do not engage the wheel locks to slow or stop your mobility device.
10. Beware of wet or slippery surfaces.
12. Ask for help any time you are in doubt.
G. TRANSFERS
1. Work with your health care advisor to learn safe transfer and lifting methods.
2. Have someone help you until you know how to do a safe transfer of your child
on your own.
3. Engage the wheel locks before you transfer. This keeps the rear wheels from rolling.
4. Move your child's mobility device as close as you can to the seat you are trans-
ferring to.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as possible.
6. Transfer your child as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce
the risk that the mobility device will tip or move away from you.
H. CURBS & STEPS
Follow the instructions below for descending or climbing a stair or curb. Do not try to
climb a high curb or step (more than 4 high) unless you have help. Doing so may
cause your mobility device to exceed its balance point and tip over.
To descend a curb or single step going BACKWARD:
1. Stay at the rear of the mobility device.
2. Several feet before you reach the edge of the curb or step, turn the mobility
around and pull it backward.
3. While looking over your shoulder, carefully step back until you are off the curb
or stair and standing on the lower level.
4. Pull your mobility device toward you until the rear wheels reach the edge of the
curb or step. Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll down onto the lower level.

V . W a r n i n g s F o r S a f e U s e
5. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the mobility device back
to its balance point. This will lift the front casters off the curb or step.
6. Keep the mobility device in balance and take small steps backward. Turn the
mobility device around and gently lower front casters to the ground.
To climb a step or curb going FORWARD:
1. Stay behind the mobility device.
2. Face the curb and tilt the mobility device up on the rear wheels so that the
front casters clear the curb or step.
3. Move forward, placing the front casters on the upper level as soon as you are
sure they are past the edge.
4. Continue forward until the rear wheels contact the face of the curb or step. Lift
and roll the rear wheels to the upper level.
I. CLIMBING STAIRS
1. Use at least two attendants to move this mobility device up stairs.
2. Move the mobility device and rider BACKWARD up the stairs.
3. The person at the rear is in control. He or she tilts the mobility device back to
its balance point.
4. A second attendant at the front firmly grasps a non-detachable part of the front
frame and lifts the mobility device up and over one stair at a time.
5. The attendants move to the next stair up. Repeat for each stair, until you reach
the landing.
J. DESCENDING STAIRS
1. Use at least two attendants to move an occupied mobility device down stairs.
2. Move the mobility device and rider FORWARD down the stairs.
3. The person at the rear is in control. He or she tilts the mobility device to the
balance point of the rear wheels and rolls it to the edge of the top step.
4. A second attendant stands on the third step from the top and grasps the frame.
He or she lowers the chair one step at a time by letting the rear wheels roll over
the stair edge.
5. The attendants move to the next stair down. Repeat for each stair, until you
reach the landing.
K. ESCALATORS
NEVER use this mobility device on an escalator, even with an attendant.
