Bringing up children is one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can undertake. If your family includes one or more children with special needs, then it can be even more of a challenge.

This area of Independent Living is dedicated to products designed to meet the needs of families and carers of disabled children.

Mobility includes manual and powered wheelchairs, walkers, bikes and buggies, to keep kids mobile from the earliest months to teenagers and young adults.

Challenging behaviour can take its toll on furniture, so our “Kids at Home” section has some robust and imaginative solutions, together with well-designed beds and cots, tables, chairs and standers to make family life more inclusive and enjoyable.

We also have dedicated sections for bath time, inclusive play equipment and toys, and clothes for kids with special needs.

These are the products you can find on the disabled childrens’ products pages:

Mobility for kids – getting around, alone or with help

Bathtime – products to help the disabled child in the bathroom

Kids at home – furniture and other products to help the disabled child around the home

Clothes for kids – specialist clothing and footwear for the disabled child

Playtime – well designed toys and play products
