Brooks Sit / Stand Stairlift
Our Take
A highly flexible Stairlift model, the Brooks Sit / Stand Stairlift offers several benefits and considerations to keep in mind:
Benefits
Flexibility
A Sit / Stand Stairlift offers the flexibility of both sitting and standing positions during the ride. Users can choose to sit down when needed or stand up if their mobility allows, catering to different comfort levels.
Compact Design
Like other specialized designs, a Sit / Stand Stairlift typically has a compact design, allowing for space-saving on the staircase when not in use.
Accessibility
The Sit / Stand option can be particularly helpful for individuals who have difficulty bending their knees or sitting down due to joint issues.
Safety Features
The Brooks Sit / Stand is equipped with safety features such as seatbelts, sensors, and a swivel seat, ensuring a secure and safe user experience.
Considerations
The Sit / Stand Stairlift might not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with balance issues or certain medical conditions might find it challenging to stand up or maintain balance during the ride.
While the sit-stand option provides flexibility, the standing position might not be as comfortable for some users, especially during longer rides.
Specialty designs like the Sit / Stand Stairlift might come at a higher cost compared to traditional seated models.
Proper use of the sit-stand option might require user training to ensure individuals are comfortable and safe during the ride.

Manufacturer
From it’s emergence in the early 1970’s, Brooks Stairlifts has steadily gained recognition as a reputable player in the mobility industry. Over the years, their dedication to crafting reliable, safe, and user-friendly Stairlifts has led to the development of an extensive product lineup catering to both straight and curved staircases. An important chapter in their history was the acquisition by ACORN, a leading name in the stairlift industry known for their innovative approach and commitment to customer satisfaction. This acquisition marked a significant milestone, allowing Brooks Stairlifts to leverage ACORN’s expertise and resources to further advance their product offerings and accessibility solutions. These days Acorn and Brooks Stairlifts are largely the same product. Acorn sell directly to the public as Acorn and through their dealer network as Brooks.
