Modular construction

The LECKEY BeMe system uses a platform with 90 percent shared components. Its backrests, seat bases and accessories can be adjusted or exchanged as a child’s needs change. According to Sunrise Medical, many adjustments can be made while the child remains seated. The system includes three interchangeable seating options designed for different levels of postural support.

Growth-focused design

Patented growable foam technology and four-way stretch covers provide up to 5 inches, or 12 centimeters, of growth without inserts or additional hardware. The design is intended to support accurate positioning as children grow, while allowing components to be adapted rather than requiring a completely different seating configuration.

Reported experience and compatibility

Sunrise Medical highlighted Grace, an 18-year-old with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, who used the seating system for several weeks. Grace said her chest felt more open and breathing felt easier when using BeMe. The system is compatible with the Multi-Height and Tilt Indoor Base, the ZIPPIE IRIS rotation-in-space wheelchair and the ZIPPIE Q300 M Mini power wheelchair.
