Circle Specialty Strive Adaptive Stroller for Special Needs

Lightweight, Supportive Seating That Goes Wherever Your Family Goes

The Circle Specialty Strive is a lightweight adaptive stroller for children who need more support than a regular stroller can give. It holds your child comfortably upright with a tension-adjustable back, a 5-point harness with pelvic belt, and padded side supports, then folds flat with one hand for the car, school, and appointments.

Available in four sizes with a seat that extends as your child grows, the Strive is a dependable everyday stroller that keeps up with busy family routines.

Who the Strive Is Best For

• Children who need trunk, head, and lower-body support to sit comfortably upright
• Kids who have outgrown a typical stroller but still need a supportive seat for outings
• Families who want one stroller for school, appointments, errands, and travel
• Caregivers who need a stroller that folds quickly and fits in the car
• Growing children, with four sizes and an adjustable seat that extends as they grow

Full-Body Positioning Support

The Strive's back uses adjustable tension straps, so you can shape the back to your child's body and give support exactly where it's needed. A 5-point harness and pelvic belt keep your child centered and secure, and padded side supports help with upright posture.

The seat sits at a gentle 20-degree angle to help your child stay settled, and the seat-to-back angle adjusts from 80 to 95 degrees for a comfortable, supported position.

A Seat That Grows With Your Child

Seat depth extends about 4 inches in every size, so the Strive can keep fitting as your child grows taller. For children who need more back height, an optional headrest extension adds extra support.

Adjustable Footrest

The footrest adjusts for height, swings away for easier transfers in and out, and removes completely when you need it out of the way. Optional angle-adjustable footplates are available for children who need their feet set at a specific angle.

Easy to Push, Easy to Take Along

Twin push handles and a curb-assist lever help you guide the Strive over curbs and uneven ground. When it's time to go, the lightweight aluminum frame folds flat with one hand. It weighs just 33 to 36 lbs depending on size, making it manageable to lift into a car trunk.

Choosing the Right Size

The Strive comes in four sizes. Choose based on your child's hip width and weight, and allow room for growth. Not sure which size is right? Give us a call and we'll help you choose, or read our Pediatric Mobility Equipment Buying Guide for tips on measuring your child.

Strive or Strive EZ?
