ToniCross Tricycles have been specifically designed for children with developmental disabilities. A great deal of effort in design and manufacturing has been made to make the Toni Cross appropriate for children from 2 1/2 years of age through adolescence. The stability, ease of pedaling and range of adaptations make these tricycles both useful and fun for a wide range of children with various degrees of disabilities.

The ToniCross tricycles are chain driven from a rear wheel, which places the foot pedals directly under the seat. This provides an easier motion than front wheel drive tricycles. Hand brakes allow ease in braking and the ability to move the tricycle backward by pedaling backward.

The new Spirit Plus 2400 Adjustable Positioning System (APS) Special Needs Car Seat features swing-away trunk and hip supports normally found only in complex wheelchair seating systems. The Spirit APS is designed for users between 25-130lbs., and up to 66 inches in height.

The Spirit Plus Pediatric Car Seat comes standard with features such as soft-padded head support, low profile sides to make transfers of passengers easier, plush machine-washable upholstery, 5-point harness for safety and a recline bar to provide recline (tilt). Also, installation is made easier as the vehicle shoulder belt can be used as the tether in most installations.

For users requiring additional positioning, the Spirit is the only car seat that offers swing-away trunk and hip supports that are individually adjustable and can be fitted exactly to the user's specifications. The support assemblies, along with the pads, can be ordered in various sizes to accommodate varying trunk and hip widths. The swing-away latch mechanisms enable a full 180 degree range so that they swing completely out of the way during transfers of the individual in and out of the seat.
