Spex Wonderseat

The Spex Wonderseat is Sunrise Medical's pediatric modular wheelchair seating system for Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. It is sold as Wonderseat Space or Wonderseat Bounce, in Size 0 or Size 1.

This is a quote-only configured seat. It can be installed on folding, rigid, and tilt-in-space manual frames. It is not a Leckey classroom seat and it is not a single Spex cushion.

Who this seating is for

Sunrise writes Wonderseat Space for children who need moderate to high support, typically in a tilt-in-space wheelchair. Wonderseat Bounce is for low to moderate support, with fewer moving parts. Sunrise prints that Bounce is not an active-user system and that care should be taken if the child self-propels. A seating therapist should confirm Space or Bounce. This page does not give clinical positioning advice.

• Size 0: about 1-5 years, 7.9 kg (17.4 lbs)
• Size 1: about 4-11 years, 9.5 kg (20.9 lbs)
• User weight 47 kg (104 lbs) on both sizes

What comes in the system

The Spex Wonderseat uses a Constructa cushion with a movable ischial block so the well can move as the back grows. A shower-cap cover and an incontinence cover are standard. Arm supports are quick-release. The anterior trunk harness uses front-access clips. Hip-belt slots sit on a numbered plate. Head-support hardware is stemless on the back to cut rear clutter. Back height grows by loosening laterals and a central bolt on the dual shell.

Which pediatric seating

Stay with the Spex Wonderseat if the therapist wants this Spex pediatric package on a manual frame. The Leckey Mygo Seating System is Sunrise's other pediatric postural seat in this wave. A Spex cushion such as the Spex High Contour Cushion is a cushion only, not a full seat.

Funding help for a wheelchair cushion or back support in Ontario

This cushion or back support is an ADP positioning device category item. Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of positioning devices such as cushions and back supports when they are prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist with an eligible mobility device, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every product qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.
