Intended use of the Mewa stroller 

 

The Mewa Special Stroller is designed to transport a child with neurological, orthopedic or other 
conditions that hinder or prevent him from moving independently.  

 

The  specialistic  Stroller  Mewa  was  designed  for  children  who  suffer  from  neurological  and 
orthopedic  problems,  which  make  it  hard  or  impossible  for  them  to  move  independently.  The 
stroller is equipped with adjustments which make it possible to safely and comfortably adapt it to 

the child’s individual needs.

  

 

The Mewa stroller has been designed to carry one child. 

 

The Mewa stroller, through the use of many regulations, allows comfortable and safe adaptation 
to the individual needs of the child.  

 

The Mewa stroller is designed to carry a child whose weight does not exceed 35kg, height from 
90cm to 125cm. 

Statistically, they are children from 3 to 8 years old.

 

 

When  choosing  a  stroller,  however, the  most  important  are  the  individual  physical  and  mental 
characteristics  of  the  child,  its  dimensions  and  weight,  housing  conditions,  environment  and, 
above all, the individual's illness. 

 

Among  the  disease  entities  of  a  particular  child,  among  others,  there  can  be  mentioned  such 
diseases  as:  children  cerebral  palsy,  meningitis,  condition  after  spinal  injury,  condition  after 
craniocerebral trauma, condition after stroke, paralysis of various origin and other dysfunctions 
damaging the locomotor and preventing independent movement of the child.  

 

Use the stroller as directed by a specialist.  

 

The Mewa stroller is intended for both indoor (e.g. apartment, rehabilitation center) and outdoor 
(e.g. park, pavement), on hard and level ground, on which all four wheels touch the ground and 
their contact with the ground is sufficient to properly drive the wheels. 

 

The  Mewa  stroller  is  intended  to  be  controlled  and  propelled  only  by  an  assistant  (parent, 
guardian). 

 

The user of the Mewa stroller is both the child who will be transported in it and the child's assistant 
(his parent, guardian, doctor, physiotherapist) who will transport the child in the stroller and look 
after him. 

 

Mewa stroller with proper care and maintenance maintains its quality for a period of 3 years and 
this is the expected period of its use. 

 

The  risks  associated  with  using  the  stroller  are  described  in  detail  in  the  chapter:  "Important  
instructions and safety rules".
