Ki Mobility Little Wave XP Pediatric Wheelchair

The Little Wave XP pediatric wheelchair is Ki Mobility's pediatric rigid wheelchair canada chair for children who self-propel. 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 growth, and the colours on Ki's order form.

Ki lists the Little Wave XP at 10.8 lbs (4.9 kg) on the defined 12 by 12 inch transport setup, with a 16 lb (7.3 kg) standard weight and a 165 lb (74.8 kg) rating. The frame is 7000 series aluminum with 1 3/8 inch tubing. Seat width and seat depth as sold run 10 to 16 inches. The growable frame can reach 19 inches wide.

Who this kids ultralight wheelchair is for

This chair is for a child who will push on the handrims, who fits Ki's 10 to 16 inch seat, and whose therapist wants a rigid daily frame rather than a folding cross brace. Families usually call us when an adult rigid is too tall at the seat, too wide, or has wheel access the child cannot reach.

If the family needs a trunk fold, start with the Little Wave Clik. If you need tilt, see the Little Wave Arc. A live ADP pediatric rigid already on this site is the Ki Mobility Rogue XP.

• Pediatric rigid wheelchair after the child's OT or PT assessment
• 10.8 lbs (4.9 kg) on Ki's defined 12 by 12 transport setup
• In-frame width growth and up to 3 inches of depth growth

Design and build

Ki builds the Little Wave XP with the same 7000 series 1 3/8 inch aluminum used on its high-performance rigid frames. The tower sets centre of gravity and backrest place without fighting hardware. The flip-up footplate is 6061 aluminum with a lift strap so the rider can raise it without bending down.

In-frame Xpanders grow width when the child needs it. They are not on the chair on day one, so they are not extra weight. Depth up to 3 inches is selected on the order. Height-adjustable stroller handles come off (single or double, standard or tall). An optional rotating 5th wheel lets the therapist set a more aggressive rear wheel and midline access. Camber is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 degrees. Rear wheels come off for the car. The frame does not fold.

How the Little Wave XP grows

Width growth uses the Xpanders. The current order prints a maximum seat width of 19 inches on the growable frame. As sold, width and depth are 10 to 16 inches. Adjustable depth on the order is none, 1/2 inch, 1 inch, 2 inches, or 3 inches. A long sling, when depth growth is on the order, can run up to 2 inches longer than the seat depth.

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.
