The problem to be solved!
We were asked to find a safe way to help a child with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) sleep at night through daily exercise.
The Solution
Tomcat invented Carer Control™ and the Tomcat Trike™ – an innovative, rear steering and braking tricycle that enabled a carer to fully control any trike, in any situation, when walking behind the rider.
Features
- Rear Steering, Braking and Speed Control by the carer from behind the rider
- Park Brake, Removable Handle and Removable Strap
- Fully functional on all Tomcat products including Quick Release Two-Piece frames
- System ensures the carer and not a wilful rider is in control
- Incorporates all the features of Carer Braking
Benefits
- Keeps the rider safe and the carer in control, at all times and in any challenging situation such as near traffic
- Promotes social integration, well-being and a sense of achievement
- Promotes better health through exercise
- Offers a “family” activity
