Now introducing a new type of stander for kids - the EasyStand Bantam! The EasyStand Bantam Stander combines the convenience of a sit-to-stand stander with the added function of a supine stander. This combination allows the child to be positioned in an infinite number of positions. The EasyStand Bantam is available in two sizes to fit kids from early intervention through elementary school (a growth kit is available to convert the extra small to a small).
- Bantam-Extra Small Stander: Fits kids 28”-40” tall and up to 50 lbs
A Multitude of Standing Positions
The EasyStand Bantam offers infinite positioning possibilities. Since changing positions in the Bantam is safe, easy, and quick, the child can get a whole new perspective without changing equipment. By alternating a variety of standing positions, the child can tolerate standing for a longer period of time. Plus, when it is easier for the caregivers to stand the child, and the child is more comfortable, they will stand more often.EasyStand Bantam Features:- Foot plates
- Kneepads
- Gas spring lift
- Planar seat and back
- Two front wheels
- Two rear locking casters
- Chest strap (tray not included)
Imagine the positioning possibilities in the Bantam:- 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 with or without hip and knee flexion. The sit-to-stand and supine combination accommodates for contractures in a way that no other stander can.
- At the dinner table, the Bantam can be positioned at a height that allows the child to facilitate a more natural upright feeding position and socialize with the rest of the family.
- After standing upright for a period of time, the child can rest in a seated, tilted or supine position, then return to upright standing when their energy increases.
- In the classroom, the Bantam can be used in an anterior tilt sitting position for high task performance. The tray can be removed so the child can be positioned for perfect access to tables or activities in the classroom.
Standing Compliance Starts with the Bantam
The EasyStand Bantam was designed to start kids on the path to a lifetime of standing. By combining supine positioning with sit-to-stand, the Bantam allows a smaller child to start their standing program from supine, then progress to the preferred sit-to-stand method of standing as they grow taller and heavier. The Bantam helps ease the transition from supine standing to sit-to-stand, preparing them for a lifetime of standing compliance. Therapists appreciate how the Bantam can be used as a transitional stander for kids who need a supine stander now, but eventually will progress to upright standing, utilizing the sit-to-stand transition.Natural sit-to-stand transition gently brings child to the standing position- One person can transfer the child from their wheelchair into the stander while in the seated or lying position.
- Secure positioning straps and optional Shadow Tray.
- Elevate child to the desired position by depressing the button to activate the manual gas spring lift (or optional manual hydraulic pump).
Bantam Shadow Tray – For Added Support and School Activities
The ability to use the Bantam with the Shadow Tray as both a stander and a supportive activity surface make it a perfect choice for the child who needs more anterior support, both in a home or a school setting. As the child moves into a standing position, the tray “shadows” them, providing tray access and anterior support in all positions from sitting to standing. Children who have contractures can stand partially upright, having 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, teachers and caregivers notice increased alertness, vocalization and responsiveness. Parents have observed how activities of daily living have increased, and kids like how standing allows them to play!Photographs may show accessories that are NOT included with standard model. - Specs

Swapping the Bantam footplates allows for an additional degree of abduction while standing. Simply loosen the footplate ratchet handle & slide the footplate off of the frame on each side, then slide the footplate back onto the opposite side and re-tighten the ratchet handle. From there you can adjust the kneepads to a wider setting & if the unit includes a Comfy Seat, slightly flatten the contoured part of the seat. This is just one more example of how the Bantam can fit the needs of clients with a variety of abilities.
