Convaid Reducer Seat Insert

Fitting a child properly into an oversized wheelchair seat is a common challenge for families and clinicians alike — a seat that's too wide can undermine trunk and pelvic support, even if the rest of the chair fits well. The Reducer Seat Insert addresses this directly: it slips into the existing seat of the wheelchair to reduce the effective seat width, helping restore proper lateral positioning without requiring a new chair. It's a simple, purpose-built solution for narrowing a seat that has more room than the current user needs.

This insert is best suited for children who are using an oversized pediatric wheelchair — for example, a chair sized with growth room in mind, or one that was previously fitted for an older or larger child — and who now need a narrower seat to maintain good positioning. It fits within the category of pediatric wheelchair positioning accessories rather than cushioning for comfort alone, since its role is specifically to adjust seat width. Because it's offered in only two width options and a single fixed height, it is not intended for children who need a change in seat height or seat depth, or whose width needs fall outside the two available sizes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Two width options (12" and 14") - Lets caregivers and clinicians select the seat width reduction that best matches the child's current positioning needs within an oversized frame.
• Consistent 25" height across both sizes - Keeps the vertical dimension predictable so the insert can be evaluated purely on width fit, simplifying the sizing decision for clinicians.
• Slips into the existing wheelchair seat - Allows the seat to be narrowed in place, avoiding the need to purchase and transition the child to an entirely different chair.
