November 5, 2004 An innovative design has been fused with modern technologies and contemporary aesthetics in the Chunc Junior, a manual attendant controlled paediatric wheelchair for children and young adults with moderate to profound disability. Mobility products makers Chunc designed the Chunc Junior in conjunction with a clients and healthcare professionals to take into account the users needs as well as the impact of the wheelchair on those it comes into contact with.
Emphasis has been placed on producing a wheelchair which is easy to operate, economical to maintain and, above all, provides uncompromising adjustability. Chunc's unique modular design allows it to be adapted to suit individual user's needs and provide a tailored solution. When the chair becomes too small - or if the child's needs change, Chunc can be modified to accommodate them. Chunc also has a number of colour coded components making them easily identifiable for the carer to operate.
The wheelchair has been designed for both indoor and outdoor use, but not specifically for rough terrain, so care should be taken when operating in extreme environments.
