Ki Mobility Little Wave Arc Pediatric Tilt Wheelchair

The Little Wave Arc pediatric wheelchair is Ki Mobility's pediatric tilt-in-space chair. Westin Healthcare configures it to prescription for families in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. This is not an off-the-shelf cart chair. The child's ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist assesses first. Then Westin writes the seat, the base, and the colours on Ki's order form.

Ki lists the Arc at 20.5 lbs (9.3 kg) on the defined 14 by 14 inch transport setup, with a 165 lb (74.8 kg) rating and 0 to 45 degrees of tilt. Seat width runs 10 to 18 inches. Seat depth runs 12 to 20 inches. Ki sells the same tilt frame on a folding base or a rigid base.

Who this kids tilt in space wheelchair is for

This chair is for a child who needs tilt in daily life, who fits Ki's 10 to 18 inch seat, and whose therapist wants a pediatric tilt rather than a daily rigid. Families usually call us when a stroller-style tilt is no longer enough, or when the therapist wants a side-fold package that still tilts to 45 degrees.

If the child self-propels and does not need tilt, start with the Little Wave Clik or the Little Wave XP. A live ADP pediatric rigid already on this site is the Ki Mobility Rogue XP.

Design and build

The Arc uses an arc-shaped roller guide so the child's weight stays centred while the seat tilts. Ki says that keeps the motion smooth for the rider and for the person tilting. Hand tilt or foot tilt can be set on the left, the right, or both.

The folding-recline back folds the package smaller and can open the back for a change or a transfer. The folding base is a side fold. The rigid base is the same tilt on a non-folding frame. Rear wheels come off. Drum brakes, an attendant wheel lock, a folding stroller handle, a height-adjustable rigidizer bar, and a canopy are order-form options. Colours are chosen on the Ki order. Two-colour frames are part of Ki's standard colour offer.

How the Arc grows

Ki prints a minimum of 2 inches of seat-width growth and 3 inches of seat-depth growth on the current Arc order. Frame width is ordered in Small (10 to 12), Medium (12 to 14), Large (14 to 16), or X-Large (16 to 18) inch ranges. Depth is ordered in X-Short through Long, covering 12 to 20 inches. The Arc XP build includes a one-time growth kit. The Arc XPe is the same chair without that kit in the base. The therapist picks the build on the order. There is no storefront size list.

Funding help for a wheelchair in Ontario

This chair is an ADP-eligible category device. Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) pays 75% of the approved price for eligible clients, and clients receiving Ontario Works, ODSP, or ACSD support can be covered for the full cost. The route starts with an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist, who confirms the need and the right category before anything is ordered: a chair bought before approval is not reimbursed. Westin Healthcare works with ADP authorizers and submissions every week, configures the chair to the prescription, and walks you through the paperwork. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to start the conversation.

Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA

Westin's own team delivers and sets up this chair across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area after the assessment, the configuration, and the ADP submission are in place. We bring it in, check the wheel locks and the tilt, and show you the fold and the growth hardware before we leave.

We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a chair first. For a scheduled in-home setup, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works. Same-day delivery is offered through our hospital bed rental service; purchased chairs are delivered and set up on a scheduled date.

Frequently asked questions

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program covers pediatric wheelchairs for eligible clients. ADP can fund 75 percent of the approved price. The child's ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist has to assess first. We cannot promise that a given child will be approved.

What Is Tilt In Space On A Kids Wheelchair?

Tilt in space on the Little Wave Arc means the whole seat tips back as a unit, from 0 to 45 degrees, so the child's hip angle stays the same. It is not a recline-only back. The therapist decides when tilt is the right tool.
