Description
Broda Aspire Pediatric Glider is a gliding chair sized for children, giving kids who seek rhythmic motion a safe, calming seat with a caregiver lock for still moments. It comes in Small, Medium and Large sizes with soft vinyl cushions, so the fit and the cleanup both suit family and therapy settings.
- Gliding motion helps children self-soothe and settle
- Caregiver lock stops the motion whenever a still chair is needed
- Small, Medium and Large sizes with 12, 14 and 16 in seat widths
- Soft vinyl covered seat, back and side cushions wipe clean
- Rear transport wheels move the empty chair between rooms
Aspire Pediatric Glider with Calming Glide
Children who rock, bounce and seek motion often do it in furniture that was never meant for it; the Aspire gives that energy a proper chair. The gliding action is smooth and self-powered, so a child can find their own rhythm during homework, therapy or downtime. Broda includes its glider engineering throughout: a 16-gauge powder-coated tubular steel frame and a caregiver lock that converts the chair to a fixed seat in seconds. Three sizes scale with the child, from a 12 in Small to a 16 in Large, each with seat depth and back height matched to the width. Families use it at home and therapists use it in sensory rooms, and the wipe-clean vinyl keeps either setting manageable.

Why Choose the Broda Aspire Pediatric Glider?
The Aspire applies the same glider engineering as Broda's adult chairs to the pediatric sizes children actually need. For families managing sensory-seeking behavior, it offers a durable, purpose-built seat instead of a furniture compromise.
- Motion with boundaries – free gliding when it helps, locked still when it doesn't — caregivers control the mode, not the child alone
- Sized like it matters – three proportional sizes with matched depths and back heights — smaller children are not perched in an adult chair
- Calming by design – rhythmic seating is a recognized sensory tool — the chair supports regulation during schoolwork and therapy
- Cleans in seconds – vinyl cushions wipe down after meals and spills — home and clinic hygiene stays simple

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages or sizes does it fit?
Fit is by size rather than age: the Small has a 12 in seat width and 10 in depth, the Medium 14 by 12 in, and the Large 16 by 14 in, with matching back heights of 18, 20 and 22 in. Weight capacity is 200 lb across the sizes.
How does the caregiver lock work?
It lets a caregiver disable the gliding motion so the chair stays completely still, for example during transfers, meals or when a child needs a stable seat. Releasing the lock returns the chair to free gliding.
Can the chair be moved with the child in it?
It should not be moved with the child seated. The rear transport wheels are for moving the empty chair between rooms and are not for patient transport. Move the chair first, then seat the child once it is placed.
Is the upholstery easy to clean?
The seat, back and side cushions are covered in soft vinyl, which wipes clean after snacks, therapies and everyday spills. The cushioned sides also add a sense of enclosure that many children find calming.
What warranty does Broda provide?
The glider frame is covered for 10 years and glider parts for 2 years under Broda's manufacturer warranty. That long frame term suits chairs bought for growing children.
