Australia’s Only Dual-Control Dining and Mobility Chair

The Slide n’ Dine Dual Control Mobility Chair is a uniquely designed mobility and dining chair that gives both users and carers independent control over braking and movement. Furthermore, it is recognised as Australia’s only dual-control dining and mobility chair, making it a distinctive solution for clinical and care environments. As a result, it suits aged care facilities, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, disability support services, and home care settings where both user independence and carer safety are priorities.

Dual-Control Braking System for User and Carer Safety

The Slide n’ Dine Dual Control Mobility Chair features a unique dual-control braking system that allows either the user or carer to independently release the auto-locking castors. Specifically, the user operates a side-mounted lever located beside the seat, while the carer controls braking from a rear mechanism positioned behind the chair. Consequently, both parties can manage movement safely and independently, reducing the risk of unintended chair movement during transfers, dining, or daily care routines.

Auto-Locking Castors for Stability and Security

Four auto-locking castors engage automatically whenever the chair is stationary. Therefore, the chair remains stable and secure during seated activities, transfers, and care tasks without requiring manual brake application. This consequently reduces the risk of falls or unintended movement, which is a critical safety consideration in aged care and rehabilitation environments.

Comfortable Seating for Extended Periods of Use

The Slide n’ Dine features high-resilience foam seating and a supportive comfort backrest designed to promote comfort during extended periods of sitting. In addition, the contoured waterfall seat design helps reduce pressure at the seat edge, which may benefit users who spend significant time seated during dining, therapy, or social activities. Easy-clean upholstery options, including a stitch-free vinyl finish, additionally support infection control requirements in clinical environments.

Fold-Up Armrests and Adjustable Height for Easier Transfers

Fold-up armrests simplify lateral transfers from wheelchairs and other seating surfaces. Furthermore, three adjustable armrest height positions allow clinicians and carers to configure the chair to suit individual user needs and body dimensions. As a result, the Slide n’ Dine accommodates a range of users across different care settings without requiring additional equipment.

Suitable Across a Range of Care Environments

The Slide n’ Dine Dual Control Mobility Chair suits a broad range of environments and daily activities, including dining, social participation, therapy sessions, and routine care tasks. It is available in two frame height options, consequently allowing clinicians to select the most appropriate configuration for individual users. The durable white powder-coated frame furthermore supports long-term use in demanding care environments. The chair supports a maximum user weight of 125kg.
