Children outgrow wheelchairs faster than funding cycles allow. The Melrose Hawk Growable is built for that problem: the frame grows in both width and length, so a child can stay in the same well fitted chair for longer instead of moving up to a new ride every time they have a growth spurt.
It is an adjustable position chair, which means you can fine tune the seating and the balance point as the child’s confidence and pushing technique develop. Set it conservatively while they are learning, then bring the rear wheels forward for a more dynamic ride once they are ready. The back folds for the car, the footplate and seat height adjust, and the whole chair is custom fabricated from aircraft grade aluminium with components chosen to stand up to an active child.
It sits alongside the standard Hawk as the growable option in the Melrose lightweight range. If a child has finished growing and you want the lightest possible chair, the fixed size Hawk Ultra is the better script.
