The Rifton Activity Chair Seat and Back is the seating module of the Rifton Activity Chair: the seat, backrest and seatbelt that mount on a Rifton standard or hi/lo base. It comes in three sizes. Small has a 305 mm seat width and 205 to 305 mm seat depth for users 815 to 1220 mm tall, medium a 355 mm seat width and 280 to 405 mm depth for users 1015 to 1420 mm, and large a 430 mm seat width and 380 to 510 mm depth for users 1270 to 1880 mm.
Backrest height adjusts from 320 to 395 mm (small), 395 to 485 mm (medium) and 485 to 610 mm (large). On the base the seat tilts 15 degrees forward and 15 degrees back (25 degrees back on a hi/lo base), and the backrest angle adjusts 5 degrees forward and 20 degrees back. Maximum working load is 34 kg small, 68 kg medium and 113 kg large.

Who it suits
A child or adult who needs a supportive, adjustable seat for feeding, schoolwork and therapy and who is either replacing a worn seat on an existing Rifton base or building a chair from components. Choose by the user’s overall height, then check that seat width, depth and height suit them with room to grow. A client who needs a complete chair should look at the full Rifton Activity Chair listing, where base, arm supports and pads are chosen together.
Good to know
- Seat and back only; base, arm supports, pads, laterals, harnesses, headrest and footboard are separate components

- A mini kit reduces the small seat to 180 mm wide and 180 mm deep for very small users
- All Rifton Activity Chair components fit both standard and hi/lo bases
