Whether you're managing therapy schedules, grocery store runs, or weekend outings, this chair is built to support your child—and you—through it all.

Let’s take a look at why so many families love the Smilez and how it’s designed with both little ones and moms in mind.

1. Lightweight and Foldable – Because Moms Carry Everything Else

At just 39 lbs, the Smilez is refreshingly light. It folds easily, which means you can lift and store it without needing help. Whether you're heading to grandma’s house or tossing it in the trunk before school drop-off, it's hassle-free.

2. Built Strong – Just Like Your Kid

With a durable steel frame, this chair is made to handle the daily grind—think school hallways, playgrounds, and everything in between. It's strong enough for active kids, without feeling bulky or hard to manage.

3. Comfort Comes First

The Smilez comes with a 12” or 14” seat and a 12” or 14” seat depth—just the right size to offer a cozy and secure fit for children. It supports good posture and stays comfortable even during longer outings or school days.

4. Padded Flip-Back Armrests – Easy for You, Comfortable for Them

Flip-back armrests make side transfers a breeze, especially when you’re juggling bags, jackets, and everything else. Plus, they’re padded, so your child has a soft place to rest their arms.

5. Adjustable Elevating Leg Rests 

Kids grow fast, and their needs change. The adjustable leg rests help position your child’s legs properly, whether they need extra circulation support or a more comfortable ride. Whether your child broke a leg and is trying to find the right position or your child uses the chair long-term and needs better circulation, this chair has got you covered. 

6. Built-In Safety: Seat Belt + Anti-Tippers

We know how important safety is. Smilez comes with a secure seat belt and anti-tippers, which keep the chair stable, especially when your child is moving around or getting excited during a big day out.

7. Wheel Locks That Actually Work

Reliable wheel locks keep the chair steady during transitions or when you're stopped somewhere. Whether you're waiting in line or taking a break at the park, you’ll appreciate that extra bit of security.

8. Adjustable Push Handles – Great for Parents of All Heights

Whether you’re 5’2” or 6’3”, these adjustable handles let you push the chair comfortably without hunching or straining your back. Because parenting is already physically demanding enough.

9. Bus Transit Tie-Downs – A Lifesaver for Families on the Go

If you use public transportation, these built-in tie-downs are a huge plus. They keep the chair secure on buses and vans, giving you one less thing to worry about on busy commutes.

10. Tool-Free Assembly – Because Who Has Time for Tools?

This wheelchair assembles without needing a single tool. It’s quick and painless, and you’ll have it ready to roll in minutes—no instruction manual confusion or screwdriver juggling required.

11. Fun, Kid-Approved Colors

Why should medical gear look boring? The Smilez wheelchair comes in playful colors like yellow and blue that kids actually love. It helps them feel confident and seen, and a bit of color goes a long way.

12. Durable Nylon Upholstery – Easy to Clean

Life happens. Spills, crumbs, and the occasional sticky mess are no problem thanks to the easy-to-clean nylon seat. It’s comfy, too—not stiff or scratchy like some other chairs.

13. Ready for Any Environment

Whether it’s the classroom, a family vacation, or a quick trip to the store, the Smilez adapts well to different settings. It’s compact, maneuverable, and easy to manage, wherever your day takes you.
