R82

R82 R82 produces assistive devices and appliances for disabled children and young people throughout the whole world. Nothing has been too small, nor too large.

In 1982 R82 was started by three entrepreneurs, Erik Ernst, Flemming Møller and Lars Lykke. R82 started under modest conditions in the founders’ private homes. The strength of the collaboration between Erik and Flemming was Erik’s eye for spotting what was needed and the potential at the schools and institutions which he visited and where he met the children, combined with Flemming’s practical ski

lls and creativity. Their cooperation resulted in new and original products – products which were unmistakably R82. Through the years R82 has developed as a strong brand within children’s rehabilitation. International distribution including own sales companies in important markets has been established, and children, families and care takers in large part of the world benefit daily from our products. While the motto “nothing compares to a smile” might not have been formulated from day one, it was and continues to be an underlying element in R82’s expansion. With a directness, an informal approach to the work and with ample space for individual creativity, the company has grown into a successful international enterprise. Often, the – almost – impossible has been made possible, and each time solutions have been found from which only a single child or maybe thousands benefit greatly on a daily basis. On the back of its many years of experience and deep insight, R82 is well geared for continued development. Children with special needs are found everywhere, and it is R82’s ambition to help improve the daily lives of these children. Since 2012 R82 has been a 100% owned company within the Etac Group.

Transitioning to independent toileting marks a significant developmental milestone for children and their families. 🚽👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💪

Achieving toileting readiness requires consistent physical stability and emotional security. For children experiencing challenges with balance or reduced muscle power, maintaining a secure posture on the toilet can make this transition physically demanding and stressful.

The Flamingo Curo facilitates this vital learning phase by providing secure, adaptable postural support. When children feel fully supported, they can direct their focus toward recognising their body's natural signals rather than struggling to maintain their physical balance.

To support this steady progression, the Flamingo Curo offers precise adaptability:
🔹 Customisable postural support: Adjustable features compensate for functional disabilities, ensuring optimal stability as your child grows.
🔹 Secure positioning: A consistently tailored fit significantly improves a child's confidence, making the entire process smoother and more dignified.

Assistive devices, when appropriate to the user and their environment, are proven to be powerful tools to increase independence and reduce the physical strain associated with daily hygiene routines. This essential support fosters a calmer, safer environment that naturally encourages positive progress.

Spending time outdoors offers clear benefits for a child's physical, mental and emotional development. 🌿

Fresh air and natural environments provide rich sensory experiences that improve physical health, boost mood and support emotional balance. Engaging with nature helps children build confidence and resilience, while also offering valuable opportunities for social inclusion and active play.

However, uneven surfaces and unpredictable outdoor settings can present physical barriers. The Crocodile All-Terrain sizes helps to compensate for these challenges. By providing secure, adaptable support over varied grounds, this assistive device ensures children can safely participate in outdoor exploration. It allows users to focus their energy on experiencing the world, rather than managing their balance or mobility.

Assistive devices, when carefully matched to the user and their environment, can act as powerful tools to increase independence. Through participation and exploration, they enable children to enjoy the profound benefits of nature on their own terms.

Children grow rapidly, and their assistive devices must adapt seamlessly to support their ongoing physical development. 🧡

Proper postural support is vital for a child's overall health and well-being. An assistive device must cater to a child's unique physical needs to help them participate comfortably and safely in daily family life.

The Chilla buggy provides precise, adaptable support that accommodates your child's continuous growth. By offering highly customisable features, it ensures a consistently tailored fit:

✅ Adjustable seating: By adding the infant cushion accessory, you get supported seating for infants. This enables the child's participation and social interaction with parents, carers, and the environment.

✅ Adjustable seating: You can easily modify the Chilla seat depth and width to maintain a healthy posture as the child grows.

✅ Tilt and recline functions: These mechanisms offer pressure relief . They actively reduce fatigue and help maintain a comfortable resting position during longer outings.

Assistive devices are powerful tools to increase independence and improve participation when they perfectly match the user. The adjustability of the Chilla buggy gives you the practical reassurance that your child remains secure and comfortable on every journey.

Regular physical movement is vital for a child's cardiovascular health and long-term well-being.

Engaging in active walking routines strengthens the heart muscle and improves overall circulation. Consistent physical activity helps children build essential stamina and can significantly improve respiratory function as well as overall physical fitness.

The Crocodile All-Terrain facilitates these crucial health benefits by providing secure, adaptable support. The walker enables children to sustain active movement outdoors, turning varied environments into safe opportunities for exercising. By offering stability, the Crocodile All-Terrain allows users to direct their energy into healthy, continuous walking rather than focusing on maintaining their balance.

The proper support helps ensure that variations in functional abilities do not restrict a child's opportunity to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

We love seeing children reach their full potential. Share your family's proudest mobility achievements with us in the comments below. 👇

Meet cheerful Andreas 🚗✨

Andreas is an energetic and curious seven-year-old boy who loves playing with his toy cars, listening to music, and going for rides in the family cargo bike. He lives with cerebral palsy and lissencephaly, which affects his motor control, but he never lets that stop him from exploring his surroundings. At home, one of his absolute favourite activities is sharing a bath with his big brother, filled with laughter and splashing. 💦

For Andreas and his mum, Ditte, the focus is always on building his independence and participation in everyday life. The next big developmental step for Andreas is toilet training. Training in new personal care activities requires immense energy, and as fatigue sets in, maintaining his postural control becomes a physical challenge.

To help him succeed safely and comfortably, the Flamingo Curo provides precise, adaptable support. With its swing-away side supports gently compensating for reduced trunk stability, Andreas feels completely secure. This essential assistance allows him to direct all his energy toward learning new skills - and enjoying his favourite shows on his iPad - rather than struggling to maintain his balance.
