Headrest
Insert the headrest tube into the locator on top of the headrest bracket and tighten the wing screw (fig. 24). The headrest

be changed by loosening the wing screws on the headrest bracket (fig. 26).
Furthermore, the depth of the headrest can be adjusted by loosening the wing screw on top of the headrest bracket (fig.

the ball joint (fig. 27). Ensure that all screws are retightened after the adjustments have been completed.
Back angle adjustment

set to the desired angle. It must be ensured that the locking pin snaps back into place. Finally, return the locking lever to
the locked position once the adjustment has been made.

When transporting the rehabilitation stroller in a vehicle, the safety locking pin must always be located in the lowest
hole (90° seat angle).

Transporting the tRide

The tRide can be folded for transport in the luggage area of a vehicle.
The tRide has been successfully impact tested against international standard ISO 7176/19 and ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.1 –
Section 19 and may be used as a vehicle seat.
We recommend that the transport of children with a body mass of less than 22kg transfer to a Child
Restraint System (sometimes referred to as an infant safety seat, a child restraint system, a restraint car seat, or
ambiguously as car seats) in compliance with ECE Regulation 44/04; In order to provide the best
possible protection for the child.
If transfer to a Child Restraint System is not possible, due to the needs of the occupant e.g. a need for continual
postural support, occupant discomfort, anxiety or a dependency on the medical device, then the decision
to carry the occupant in their wheelchair or buggy should involve an individual risk assessment process.
This risk assessment processshould involve a therapist who would be able to support reasons not to
transfer the occupant to a Child Restraint System.
IMPORTANT: When used as a vehicle seat the following instructions must be followed.
The tRide is designed to be forward-facing when used as a seat in a motor vehicle.
The occupant should transfer to the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed
restraint system whenever it is feasible!
In order to fasten the chassis at the floor of the vehicle, only use belt systems which
meet the standard ISO 10542.
The 4 tie-down securement points are indicated with the following symbol:
CAUTION: When the stroller is being used as a seat in a motor vehicle the locking pin at the tilt-in-space
mechanism must engage in a position that inclines the seat backwards. (fig. 32) The locking pin is
marked with the symbol shown above.
