Bugzi is our small powerchair for young children that can be adapted to meet individual needs. Bugzi assessments are available for disabled children across the country.
We also have a range of switch adapted toys and special needs toys that can provide children with the opportunity to learn and achieve.
Our vision is to see all disabled young people and their families living life to its full potential.
Bugzi is a small powered chair for young children aged between 1 and approx 6 years old that enables disabled children to be independently mobile.
It is primarily an indoor chair and can be used in environments such as homes, nursery, school, playgrounds, museums, gardens, shopping centres. Bugzi needs to be used in the dry and on flat surfaces.
Bugzi is only available for use after an assessment by a paediatric Occupational Therapist. This ensures Bugzi is correctly adjusted for each child and the most appropriate controls are issued, so the child can effectively learn to use and control Bugzi.
Bugzi is available free of charge through our Bugzi loan scheme. A deposit is taken at the start of the loan period, but each child can use Bugzi for as long as it is right for them. Bugzi is then returned and refurbished for use by another child. The Bugzi loan scheme is supported by fundraising for QEF and MERU.
Bugzi enables a disabled child to be independently mobile – often for the first time. Families should complete an application form and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss your needs and arrange an assessment if appropriate. More information on the assessment process is available here
We sell a wide range of disability living aid products that make daily life easier, such as Flexi that can attach a phone or tablet to a wheelchair, bed or table. The full range is available here.
