From Altimate Medical, the makers of world-class standers, comes the new EasyStand Bantam for kids. Like all EasyStand products, the Bantam standing frame includes tool-free adjustments that make it ideal for multi-user environments. To accommodate the needs of a variety of kids, the Bantam is also available with optional supine positioning. Numerous options and precise positioning provide your child with the ultimate standing experience. The EasyStand Bantam is available in two sizes to fits kids from early intervention through elementary school.

Bantam-Extra Small Stander: Fits kids 28”-40” tall and up to 50 lbs.
Bantam-Small Stander: Fits kids 36”-54” tall and up to 100 lbs. 

Unique options found only on the EasyStand Bantam:

• The Bantam combines the ease of an upright sit-to-stand stander with the option of supine positioning.
• The Bantam’s optional Shadow Tray supports the child from sitting to standing.
• The Bantam offers an independent transition to standing with the optional hand-operated hydraulic pump.
• The Bantam is available with standard planar seating, optional comfy seating, or a combination of both.

Natural sit-to-stand transition gently brings child to the standing position

1. One person can transfer the child from their wheelchair into the stander while in the seated position.
2. Secure positioning straps and optional Shadow Tray
3. Depress foot button to activate the gas spring assisted lift; elevate child to the desired position

Bantam Shadow Tray for Schools
The ability to use the Bantam Shadow Tray as both a stander and a desk make it a perfect choice in a school setting. As the child moves into a standing position, the tray “shadows” them, providing tray access in all positions from sitting to standing. Children who have contractures and stand partially upright have complete access to the tray, while remaining fully supported.

Why Stand Kids with Disabilities?
There are a number of excellent research studies documenting the medical benefits of standing programs for a child’s long-term health. Besides the medical benefits, children have also experienced enhanced social development & peer interaction while standing.  Therapists and teachers have noticed increased alertness, vocalization and responsiveness.  Parents have observed how activities of daily living have increased, and kids like how standing stimulates play!

A Multitude of Standing Positions
The EasyStand Bantam is a true multi-positioning device.  From task performance seating, to anterior tilt standing, the Bantam makes a great classroom chair.  Children who are difficult to transfer due to high tone can utilize the Bantam with the supine option to do a flat-to-load transfer. Therapists appreciate how the Bantam can be used as transition stander for kids who need a supine stander now, but eventually want to progress to upright standing, utilizing the sit-to-stand transition.

Standing technology should only be used under the guidance of a physician with recommendations for standing program protocol and any medical precautions. Standing programs should be monitored by the attending therapist.
