The Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair provides exceptional postural support, safety, and comfort for children requiring assistance with mobility. Engineered with a focus on adaptability and ease of use, the Trotter combines a lightweight folding frame with comprehensive positioning features, making it the perfect solution for both everyday use and clinical environments.
Whether used at home, in school, or on the go, this wheelchair delivers the stability and adjustability required for a variety of postural needs — ensuring every child experiences comfort and security while maintaining mobility and independence.
Trusted by caregivers, endorsed by clinicians, and engineered by one of the world’s most respected names in adaptive mobility — this chair doesn’t just carry your child. It supports them, protects them, and grows with them. Whether you’re navigating school hallways in Manchester, kerbsides in Toronto, or living rooms in Munich, the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair is built for real life, not just clinical brochures.
You’ve probably seen it before. A parent struggling to fold a bulky wheelchair into a car boot, harness straps that won’t sit right, a child shifting uncomfortably through a two-hour school trip. That frustration is real. And it’s exactly the problem the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair was designed to eliminate.
Parents and caregivers consistently praise the Trotter for being easy to fold and lightweight, with a compact size that fits into most car boots — while the five-point harness and adjustable positioning features provide additional safety, leaving children feeling secure and stable. That combination — portability meeting clinical-grade security — is what makes this chair genuinely different.
Foldable frames are gaining serious traction in paediatric models specifically for their portability and ease of storage, as clinicians can now recommend a chair that is both clinically sound and realistic for families managing school, therapy, and community activities. The Trotter isn’t just following that trend. It set it.

This is not a detail to scroll past.
The Trotter has passed a dynamic crash test conducted with a 130 lb front-facing occupant tested at 30 mph — meeting full WC19 transit safety standards. That means you can secure this chair in your vehicle and drive with genuine confidence. Not hope. Confidence.
The headrest extension is required for transport per WC19 Standards to safely use the Trotter in a motor vehicle — a detail worth knowing before your first school run. When configured correctly, this chair is one of the safest paediatric transit solutions on the market.
For families in the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, and France — where school transport, therapy clinic visits, and daily vehicle use are part of the routine — this crash-tested certification is not optional. It’s essential.
Most chairs give you a backrest. The Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair gives you a system.
The Adjustable Tension Positioning (ATP) versatile back support system delivers improved posture, comfort, and positioning to meet individual seating needs — while the adjustable seat and back angle provide a customised fit to keep users comfortable and supported.
In practical terms: you’re not guessing at comfort. You’re dialling it in. The ATP straps adjust to your child’s specific trunk requirements — whether that means mild support for a child with low muscle tone or firmer lateral control for more complex postural needs. The back angle adjusts to three positions — 85°, 90°, and 95° — and the seat angle moves between 15° and 22°, giving you a meaningful range of clinical control within a compact, foldable frame.
The positioning belt and five-point harness with padded straps keep users secure on the road, while the adjustable seat and back angle give a tailored fit to keep users comfortable and supported.
The harness strap covers are reversible — one side is imitation lamb’s wool, the other velour — so your child gets softness against their skin regardless of the season. It’s a small detail that makes long outings significantly more comfortable, especially for children with tactile sensitivities.
Ankle straps and pelvic belt are included as standard. Optional accessories — lateral trunk supports, headrests, Poziform ankle positioners — can be added to customise for more complex needs.
Children grow fast. This chair grows with them.
The adjustable seat depth, multiple width configurations, and optional seat rail extensions mean you won’t be replacing this chair every eighteen months. The Trotter comes in four seat widths — 12″, 14″, 16″, and 18″ — supporting children and young adults up to 250 lbs, with adjustable seat depth to grow with the user.
Seat width options: 10″ | 12″ | 14″ | 16″ | 18″
Seat depth options: 10″ | 12″ | 14″ | 16″
Back height: 22″ (55.9 cm)
Max user weight: 75 kg (165 lbs)
That’s a chair that serves your child from early childhood well into adolescence — without a second purchase.
The 8″ front casters, 10″ rear wheels, and curb assist pedal make it easier to navigate sidewalks, curbs, and varied outdoor surfaces.
The curb-assist foot pedal is a genuinely underrated feature. Any caregiver who has tried to navigate a kerb with a standard wheelchair one-handed — whilst holding shopping, a bag, or another child — knows how valuable this is. The rear wheels also feature a toggle lock for secure stationary positioning.
Indoor to outdoor. Smooth floors to uneven pavements. The Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair handles all of it.
The padded seat and back fabric can be removed and machine-washed for easy cleanup after spills or buildup from frequent use.
Breathable. Comfortable. Washable. That’s the standard for a chair used daily. No special cleaning solutions, no professional servicing — just remove, wash, and refit. For families managing complex care routines, that simplicity matters enormously.
Optional accessories available separately: headrest extension (required for WC19 transit), lateral trunk supports, Poziform ankle positioners, upper extremity support tray, utility bag, full torso vest.

1. What is the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair used for?
The Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair is a specialised mobility and postural support chair designed for children with physical disabilities, complex postural needs, or limited independent mobility. It is used at home, in school, in therapy settings, and during vehicle transport — providing adjustable seating, harness support, and clinical-grade positioning in a lightweight, foldable frame. It is widely prescribed by occupational therapists and physiotherapists across the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, and France.
2. Is the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair safe to use in a vehicle?
Yes. The Trotter has passed a dynamic crash test conducted with a 130 lb front-facing occupant at 30 mph, meeting the WC19 transit safety standard. The headrest extension is required for transport per WC19 Standards to safely use the Trotter in a motor vehicle — so ensure you have the headrest extension fitted before securing the chair in any vehicle.
3. What ages and sizes is the Trotter suitable for?
The Trotter comes in four seat widths — 12″, 14″, 16″, and 18″ — supporting children and young adults up to 250 lbs, with adjustable seat depth to grow with the user. It is typically used from early childhood through adolescence, with the adjustable frame extending its usable lifespan across multiple years of growth.
4. What is the Adjustable Tension Positioning (ATP) system and how does it work?
The Adjustable Tension Positioning (ATP) versatile back support system provides improved posture, comfort, and positioning to meet individual seating needs. The ATP straps allow caregivers and therapists to fine-tune the tension and angle of back support independently on each side, accommodating asymmetrical postural requirements, scoliosis, low muscle tone, or trunk weakness. It is one of the Trotter’s most clinically valued features.
5. How much does the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair weigh?
The weight varies by seat size. The 12″ model weighs 15.0 kg (33 lbs), the 14″ weighs 15.4 kg (34 lbs), the 16″ weighs 15.8 kg (35 lbs), and the 18″ weighs 16.3 kg (36 lbs). Its compact size allows it to fit into most car boots, making it one of the most practical paediatric mobility chairs for active families.
6. Can the seat grow with my child? Does it need to be replaced as they get bigger?
No replacement needed for several years. The chair includes adjustable seat depth and back angles, plus optional seat rail extensions, allowing room for growth and changing needs. The multi-width range (12″ through 18″) further ensures you can size up the frame rather than buy a new chair entirely.
7. What harness and restraint system does the Trotter use?
The Trotter includes a positioning pelvic belt and five-point harness with padded strap covers — with reversible covers offering imitation lamb’s wool on one side and velour on the other for comfort. Ankle straps are also included. For children with higher postural needs, optional Poziform ankle positioners, lateral supports, and full torso vests are available as accessories.
8. Is the upholstery easy to clean?
The fabric can be removed and machine-washed for easy cleanup after spills or buildup from frequent use. This is especially valuable for children who eat, drink, or receive oral medications while seated. No specialist cleaning products are required — remove, wash, refit.
9. What terrain and environments is the Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair designed for?
The 8″ front casters, 10″ rear wheels, and curb assist pedal make it easier to navigate sidewalks, curbs, and varied outdoor surfaces. It handles smooth indoor floors, pavements, school corridors, and moderate outdoor terrain. The curb-assist foot pedal is specifically designed to let caregivers navigate kerbs with one hand — a major practical advantage for daily use.
10. What accessories are available for the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair?
Each chair comes standard with a canopy, under-seat carrier, swing-away footrest, and padded upholstery. Optional accessories available separately include: headrest extension (required for WC19 vehicle transit), Poziform ankle positioners, lateral trunk supports, upper extremity support tray, utility bag, full torso vest, and transit tie-down brackets.
11. What colours does the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair come in?
The Trotter is available in three child-friendly colours: Jet Fighter Blue, Fire Truck Red, and Punch Buggy Pink. The titanium-coloured aluminium frame pairs with each upholstery colour option for a clean, modern look that children actually enjoy.
12. Is the Trotter suitable for children with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or hypotonia?
Yes. The Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair is clinically used for a wide range of conditions including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, hypotonia, and other conditions affecting postural control and independent mobility. Children with significant disabilities will often have more than one seating or positioning device such as a stander, wheelchair and/or walker — with physiotherapists and occupational therapists involved in recommending adaptive seating to facilitate functional positioning, improve performance of manipulative skills and increase sitting comfort. Always confirm with your prescribing therapist that the Trotter’s specification matches your child’s clinical seating assessment.
13. What is the warranty on the Drive DeVilbiss Trotter Paediatric Positioning Chair?
The chair includes a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty on the frame and mechanical components, and a 1-year warranty on upholstery and accessories. Mobility Scooters UK Ltd provides full after-sales service and spare parts availability for all Drive DeVilbiss products.
