This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about our junior care bed designed specifically for homecare nursing and paediatric needs.

Why Choose a High Quality Manual Children Carebed from Hengyuan Medical?
When it comes to caring for a child at home or in a specialist care unit, the right bed makes all the difference. Our manual children carebed is not just a piece of furniture; it is a medical device designed to alleviate or compensate for handicaps or disabilities. Unlike fully electric models, a manual crank system offers reliability, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. It allows caregivers to adjust the bed without depending on electricity, making it ideal for homecare environments and residential homes where power outages might occur.
Intended Use and Application Environments
Our high quality manual children carebed is suitable for:
- Homecare settings – Supporting parents caring for a child with limited mobility.
- Nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities – Providing safe positioning for children and small adults.
- Hospitals – Only in rooms designed for medical treatment of the application group (as per EN 60601-2-52).
- Long-term care facilities – Where medical supervision is required.
Target user height: 125 cm to 175 cm. Maximum patient weight: 180 kg (resident + mattress + accessories). The safe working load (SWL) for our junior homecare bed is rigorously tested to ensure stability and security.
Superior Product Material and Construction for Durability
Steel Frame with Polyester Powder Coating
The bed is made predominantly of steel sections coated with a durable polyester powder finish. This coating resists scratches, corrosion, and daily wear, ensuring the bed remains in perfect working order for years. The metal alloy components are zinc or chromium-plated for added strength.
Wooden or Metal Safety Side Bars
Depending on your preference, the safety side bars (click-in) are available in wood or metal design. They feature plastic end caps to protect both the child and the surrounding furniture. The side rail height from the top of the mattress is at least 220 mm when uncompressed, meeting international safety standards to prevent accidental falls.
Mattress Base and Surfaces
The mattress base frame is divided into four sections: a backrest, a fixed middle section, a thigh rest, and a lower leg rest. The steel slatted base or metal lattice base ensures proper ventilation and pressure redistribution. All surfaces are sealed and safe for contact with the skin.

Key Product Advantages of Hengyuan Medical’s Manual Children Carebed
1. Manual Crank System for Reliable Adjustments
Our bed features a 2-crank or 3-crank system that allows caregivers to easily raise/lower the backrest, thigh rest, and overall bed height. This is especially beneficial in homecare environments where simplicity and durability are critical. No complex electronics – just reliable mechanics.
2. Enhanced Safety Features
- Click-in safety side bars – Prevents the child from accidentally rolling out. The bars are easy to install and lock securely into place.
- Entrapment protection – The spacing between side bars is less than 120 mm, minimizing the risk of limbs getting trapped.
- Lockable castors – All four castors have individual brakes to keep the bed stationary during use.
- Handset with locking function – Even on manual beds, we offer an optional locking key to prevent unauthorized adjustments if the child is left unsupervised.
- Emergency lowering – In case of power failure (if electric version), a 9V block battery allows for one full emergency lowering (CPR function).
3. High Quality Durable Products for Long-term Use
At Hengyuan Medical, we passionately pursue the goal of developing high-quality durable products. Our bed undergoes rigorous testing at an independent testing institute. The frame and mattress base are designed for multiple uses and can be easily cleaned and disinfected between patients.
4. Comfortable and Ergonomic Positioning
The 4-section mattress base frame allows for infinite profiling positions. The backrest can be raised to 75 degrees for reading or eating, while the thigh rest reduces pressure on the lower back. The reverse-Trendelenburg position is also possible for certain medical conditions.
5. Easy Assembly and Movement
The bed is delivered unassembled on a storage aid. Two people can assemble it within 30 minutes using the supplied assembly key. All knurled-thumb screws can be tightened without special tools. The bed can be moved within a room even with the child lying in it (after lowering to the lowest horizontal position).
Real-World Case Studies – How Our Manual Children Carebed Helps Families
Case Study 1: Homecare for a Child with Muscular Dystrophy
The Smith family in Manchester needed a high quality manual children carebed for their 10-year-old son, who has limited mobility. They chose the Hengyuan Medical Junior Low model with wooden safety sides. The low height (23 cm at lowest setting) gives their son a sense of independence, while the manual crank backrest adjustment makes it easy for the mother to reposition him for meals and therapy. “The bed is sturdy, safe, and gives us peace of mind,” she says.
Case Study 2: Paediatric Unit in a Rehabilitation Facility
A rehabilitation center in London purchased 20 units of our manual children carebed for their paediatric wing. They required IPX4 protection for easy cleaning and lockable handset functions to protect patients with cognitive impairments. The steel slatted base allows for quick disinfection between patients. The facility reported a 30% reduction in caregiver strain thanks to the ergonomic adjustment system.
Case Study 3: Medical Equipment Retailer Bulk Order
A medical equipment retailer in Germany ordered 50 units for resale to local nursing homes. Their key criteria were high quality durable products, CE certification, and compliance with EN 60601-2-52. Hengyuan Medical provided full technical documentation and user manuals in multiple languages. The retailer now lists our bed as their top recommendation for children’s homecare.
Complete Buying Guide for a Manual Children Carebed
Choosing the best pediatric medical bed involves several decisions. Use this buying guide to evaluate your options:
Step 1: Assess the Child’s Size and Weight
Measure the child’s height and weight. Our beds accommodate children from 125 cm to 175 cm. The maximum patient weight should never exceed the safe working load of 180 kg (including mattress). For smaller children (under 125 cm), consider a baby crib hospital bed instead.
Step 2: Decide Between Manual vs Electric
A manual crank system is more affordable, reliable, and requires no electricity. It’s perfect for homecare and long-term use. An electric bed offers convenience at a higher cost and with potential dependency on power. For most families, a high quality manual children carebed is the most practical choice.
Step 3: Check Safety Features
Look for side guards that are at least 220 mm above the uncompressed mattress. Ensure the gap between bars is less than 120 mm. Lockable castors and a handset locking function (if electric) are essential.
Step 4: Consider Material and Cleaning
Polyester powder-coated steel frames are easy to wipe down. Choose wooden safety sides for a homelike feel or metal safety sides for maximum durability. The mattress base should be a steel slatted base or metal lattice base for ventilation.
Step 5: Verify Certifications
Ensure the bed has CE marking (Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC), IPX4 protection, and complies with EN 60601-2-52 for medical electrical equipment.
Step 6: Budget and Warranty
Our beds come with a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty. The service life in domestic use is approximately 5 years, after which components can be recycled. Replacement parts (mattresses, side bars, castors) are available directly from us.
Care, Cleaning, and Disinfection Guidelines
To keep your high quality manual children carebed in excellent condition, follow these steps:
- Before first use: Clean all surfaces with a mild, environmentally friendly cleaning agent. Disinfect if the bed was previously used.
- Routine cleaning: Wipe down the frame, mattress base, and side rails weekly with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Disinfection: Use only DGHM-approved disinfectants. Avoid high-pressure cleaners or water jets on electrical components (if electric version).
- For infectious patients: After a patient with an infectious disease (e.g., MRSA), the bed must be disinfected by wiping. Staff should wear waterproof gloves.
- Never: Use solvents, abrasives, or alcohol-based sprays near electrical parts.
Accessories for Your Manual Children Carebed
Enhance the functionality of your bed with these optional accessories from Hengyuan Medical:
- Patient lifting pole – With a safe working load of 80 kg. Allows the child to reposition themselves independently. The triangular handle is height-adjustable with a webbing strap.
- Anti-decubitus mattress – Alternating pressure mattress to prevent pressure sores, compatible with the 90×180 cm mattress base.
- High side rail kit – If your mattress is thicker than 12 cm, this kit increases the side rail height to maintain safety.
- Storage aid – For easy transport and storage when the bed is not in use.
- Wooden or metal safety side upgrade – Choose the design that matches your room decor.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this bed suitable for a 5-year-old child?
Our bed is designed for children with a height of 125 cm and above. For younger or shorter children, please contact us for custom solutions or a baby crib hospital bed.
Can I move the bed with the child lying in it?
Yes. First, adjust the mattress base to its lowest horizontal position. Then unplug any electrical connections (if applicable), release the castor brakes, and gently push the bed. Re-engage the brakes once in the new location.
How often should I perform a safety inspection?
At least once a year or before each re-use. Check for loose screws, damaged cables, worn castors, and proper side rail locking. A full technical safety check according to EN 62353 is recommended.
What type of mattress is required?
Use only flame-retardant mattresses that comply with DIN 13014 and DIN EN 597-1/-2. The maximum mattress height should be between 120-200 mm. Do not use mattresses that are too soft, as they increase entrapment risk.
