Abstract: An adjustable cover (5) and seating system (1) for a wheelchair (3). The cover (5) has an enclosure portion (35, 37) and a skirt section (53) extending about the sides of the enclosure portion (35, 37) and downwardly under the lower section (37) of the enclosure portion. The enclosure portion (35, 37) can be placed over the seating members (7) and secured in place by a zipper (41) to encase the seating member (7). The skirt section (53) can then be pulled to draw the skirt section downwardly which, in turn, draws the upper section (35) of the enclosure portion snugly across the top of the seating members. The system includes a slit or cut-out fluid pad (9) forming sides (2) which can be positioned to straddle a removable accessory such as an abductor (11).
