250 lb, on the same heavy-duty welded steel frame as the adult Rehab TNT.
Can it recline as well as tilt?
Yes. Static recline from 90° to 130° is standard and a quick-release dynamic recline opens to 180°.
What happens when the child outgrows it?
A teenager who has outgrown a 17” frame moves to the adult Rehab TNT, which starts at 16” wide and carries 500 lb.
