NOVA® is a cosy special needs stroller for people with locomotor disa-
bilities. It is especially recommended for spastic users as well as those
requiring additional stabilization. The deep seat provides a comfortable
position in the stroller, which helps to correct posture defects and signi-
ficantly prevents their deepening.
Numerous adjustments and a wide range of the accessories make it pos-
sible to adapt the stroller to the individual needs of the user. An adju-
stable footrest and the 3-step tilt-in-space function of the seat enable the
users to travel in a comfortable position.
The stroller is easy to drive on both flat and uneven terrain. Thanks to its
simple and lightweight design, the NOVA® stroller can be easily folded
for transportation. It takes up little space in the trunk due to its com-

the distance between the wheel axles. They can be mounted widely to
increase the stability of the stroller, or narrowly to increase the maneu-
verability.
