The Convaid Rodeo is a top-tier pediatric tilt-in-space wheelchair, popular for its convenience, lightweight design, and compact folding capability. It offers up to 45 degrees of adjustable tilt for pressure relief and upper body support with an Elevating Leg Rest. Its fully customizable features and optional accessories cater to specific therapeutic needs. With a five-year growth capability via its seat depth extension, the Rodeo is an ideal solution for users requiring advanced positioning and support.
The Rodeo features removable, washable upholstery in a variety of colors and offers an optional 90 to 110 degrees of recline for adjustable seating. This easy-to-fold wheelchair is highly portable, available in sizes 10, 12, 14, and 16 for users up to 170 lbs. It also comes with a WC19 compliant Transit Option, making this attractive, durable, and therapeutically beneficial wheelchair, made in the USA, a versatile choice.
In Step 1, select your Rodeo's size and upholstery. The upholstery is removable without tools, washable, and comes in various colors, which you can preview in the Photo Gallery. Refer to the Size Chart Section to ensure a proper fit with room for growth.
Also in Step 1, you can purchase the Transit Version of the Rodeo. This version includes Transit Anchor Brackets for use with vehicles with wheelchair tie-downs. The Headrest Extension and 3-Point Pelvic Belt are required for the Transit Version. Choose between an H-Harness with Padded Covers and a Full Torso Support Vest for trunk support. Choose between Foot Positioners and the Full Padded Footbox for foot support. The One-Piece Angle Adjustable Footplate must be chosen to accomodate the Full Padded Footbox. The Rodeo's Transit Version has passed WC19 & ISO7176 transport safety standards.
In Step 2, you'll select Trunk and Pelvic Supports. The Rodeo includes a 2-Point Positioning Belt as Standard, unless you’ve chosen the Transit Model. The Transit Model requires a 3-Point Positioning Belt. Choose between an H-Harness with Padded Covers and a Full Torso Support Vest for trunk support.
Here are your options for trunk and pelvic support:
- 3-Point Positioning Belt: This belt, with a depth-adjustable crotch strap, helps maintain proper pelvic position and prevents sliding forward. Note: Required for Transit Models, this must be purchased with an H-Harness or Full Torso Support Vest.
- H-Harness: Provides anterior trunk support to maintain upper body position and reduce fatigue. Note: H-Harness must be purchased with a 3-Point Positioning Belt for Transit and non-Transit models.
- Full Torso Vest: Select this for even more trunk support. It helps users maintain correct midline upper body position, prevents slumping, and assists with shoulder retraction. This comfortable and secure vest is easily adjustable and detachable. Note: The Full Torso Vest can be used on the Transit model but must be purchased with a 3-Point Pelvic Belt.
In Step 3, you can choose an optional Support Cushion for your Rodeo.
Here are your cushion options:
- General Use Support Cushion*: A soft foam cushion providing extra comfort and support, increasing sitting tolerance.
- Align Cushion - Lateral Pelvis/Lateral Thigh Support*: Features contoured edges for lateral (side) pelvic stability and thigh positioning, reducing side-to-side pelvic movement and improving lower extremity stability. Recommended for users with low muscle tone.
- Position Cushion – Medial Thigh Support/Anti-Thrust*: Offers medial (inside) thigh support, helping to separate legs into neutral alignment to maximize weight-bearing and stabilize seated posture. Recommended for users with increased extensor muscle tone and a tendency toward extensor thrusting.
*An optional Incontinence Liner can also be added in Step 3. This internal component sits directly beneath the upholstery to protect the foam.
In Step 4, choose your Head Support and optional Headrest Extension. (Note: The Transit version automatically includes a Headrest Extension.) See the Photo Gallery for images.
Your head support options are:
- Occi-Headwings: Offer sub-occipital (below occiput) support for midline head positioning, comfort, and unobstructed head movement and vision.
- Padded Headwings: Height-adjustable, soft foam headwings provide lateral (side) support for midline head positioning.
In Step 5, you'll select Foot Supports. Refer to the chart below and the Photo Gallery for details. (Note: The Transit version requires Foot Positioners or the Padded Footbox..)
Your options are:
- Standard One-Piece Height- and Angle- Adjustable, Flip-Up Footplate: Angle adjustment is from -15 degrees to +15 degrees. Footplate can be flipped up during transfers into and out of the push chair.
- Standard One-Piece Angle Adjustable Footplate + Padded Footbox: Provides comfort and safety while maintaining freedom of movement. Please Note: This option may be purchased for Transit model.
- Individual Height- and Angle-Adjustable, Flip-Up Footplates: The angle can be adjusted to accommodate limitations in ankle/foot range of motion, ensuring optimum foot positioning and alignment. They can also be adjusted forward, backward, sideways, or rotated vertically.
- Foot Positioners: Adjustable Velcro® straps properly position feet on footplates maximizing contact area and alignment. Straps can be placed around the ankle or across the foot. Foot Positioners come in three sizes with circumferential measurements of: Small (7-10 in), Medium (8-11 in), and Large (9-12 in).
In Step 6, you'll select Tire Upgrades if desired. Find standard tire details under the Features Tab and read the Understanding Tires article for guidance. You can also add Front Wheel Caster Locks if desired. These improve stability, especially on uneven or loose outdoor terrain, when engaged.
In Step 7, you can choose to add an optional Recline feature. Adjustable 90 degrees or 110 degrees recline, this feature opens the seat-to-back angle to provide postural relief allowing gravity to assist.
In Step 8, you can choose to add an optional Attendant Hand Brake to the standard One-Piece Height/Angle Adjustable Push Handle that comfortably fits various height caregivers. This brake, similar to a bicycle brake, provides controlled mobility on inclines by connecting to the wheel lock.
