Lightweight Children's Wheelchairs

Paediatric wheelchairs that keep up with the pace of kids! Available with a full range of easily tailored options and accessories, they’re wheelchairs that are as distinctive as your child’s personality. Plus, many of our children's wheelchairs can even grow with your child, so there’s no big adjustment to swapping to a new wheelchair, just lots of small ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

The total width of your wheelchair can be found in the user manual (or in the ordering documentation of your wheelchair). What is important to know when it comes to manual wheelchairs is if you have a camber, the overall width increases rapidly. For example, a wheelchair with 6 degrees camber and 24 "wheels, becomes 80 mm wider than a chair with 0 degrees camber.

Please consult your user manual for more information on setting changes for your wheelchair.

Yes, our Built-4-Me team can help you achieve requirements that go above and beyond what you would find on the typical product order form. They'll make every effort to provide you with the most suitable solution to your request. 

We'd recommend that your wheelchair is serviced by an authorised Sunrise Medical dealership every year. For your safety, some elements of your wheelchair should be checked regularly. Please refer to your user manual for more information.

Ultra-lightweight wheelchairs tend to be made of areospace-grade aluminum or carbon fibre, so they're stronger whilst not compromising the weight of the wheelchair. More durable, ultra-lightweight wheelchairs are tailor-made to your needs and are highly personalizable with a wealth of features and style options. QUICKIE's range of ultra-lightweight wheelchairs also employ a range of unique patented features to further strengthen the frame whilst minimising weight (such as ShapeLoc Technology on the Xenon series or X-Braid Technology on the Krypton).

Our Range of Children’s Wheelchairs

If you’re heading into the jungle in search of treasure, make sure you don’t take a bright fuchsia wheelchair with you. It’s very pretty, yes, but far too noticeable! ZIPPIE children’s wheelchairs offer a huge variety of manual wheelchair options for kids – and we’re not just talking about colour. You can also choose from a wide range of fun spoke guard designs and custom options to create pediatric wheelchairs that are as exciting as childhood itself, encouraging little explorers to keep discovering the world.

Among the folding children’s wheelchairs in the ZIPPIE range, you’ll find models like the Youngster 3, offering excellent growth adjustability and lightweight performance, and the Simba – the lightest rigid growth-adjustable wheelchair.

The Iris, with a wide rotational tilt range from -5° to 60°, is the perfect paediatric positioning solution. Its compact, lightweight base makes transport easier, while its low seat-to-floor height optimises transfers.

The ZIPPIE TS, with up to 45° of tilt, ensures perfect positioning for children. Its folding version adds the convenience of a compact fold, featuring quick-release rear wheels and forward-folding backrest tubes, on top of the clinical benefits of tilt.
