Wheelchair Roundabout 1

Our Wheelchair Roundabout 1 has a contemporary design, is fully inclusive for wheelchair users to use, and is both therapeutic and fun at the same time. Also often referred to as a carousel – roundabouts are often one of the first units to be considered when creating an inclusive play area that is wheelchair-friendly.

It can be powered by the wheelchair users themselves as well as non-disabled users and has a unique rotating system compared to other carousels on the market. The roundabout only spins in one direction and the users have full control over the speed of the device and can decide to stop because the device is equipped with brakes. If a person with a disability is not able to drive the device, an able-bodied person participating can do it. It is similar with braking – it is enough for one person to use the brake. The device is equipped with two chairs which, when folded, become backs for wheelchairs. While playing, the user exercises the upper limbs.

The device is also suitable for non-disabled users, for people with disabilities resulting in moving with crutches, and rollators. It is also suitable for people with intellectual disabilities, with neurological disorders (strokes, MS), for people with visual disabilities, as well as seniors. The neurological benefits include stimulation of vestibular and sensory systems.

While moving the roundabout, the muscles of the upper limbs and shoulder muscle are worked. They also improve the grip pattern in people with motor disabilities (cerebral palsy).

The free fall height is 4.33m and the recommended safety area dimensions are 2.0m from the outer edges of the platform.
