| The Zippie TS features a 45° tilting seat frame. This is an ideal system for pediatric patients who require multiple tilt angles for pressure relief, digestion and fixed seat positions. |
| Flared front frames make caster interference with long 90° footrests a thing of the past. Front caster housings can be easily be mounted in a forward or reverse position to adjust the wheel base without the possibility of hitting the footplates. |
| 24" rear wheels are fully accessible for patients who self-propel. Our engineers took special care to make sure that chair's design does not force a user into a reverse wheel configuration. |
| The Zippie TS fixed frame version features the benefits of rigid support along with the advantage of built-in expandability. With fold-down backrests and quick-release wheels, it is still small enough to fit easily in a small trunk or backseat. |
| The Zippie TS can serve as either a dependent or an independent mobility base. For children who rely on a caregivers for their mobility, the Zippie TS features 12" or 16" rear wheels and a removable stroller handle extension. For those capable of self propulsion, the TS can be outfitted with 20", 22", 24 " rear wheels or a one-arm drive. |
| The Zippie TS is available with the Quickie Transit Option. Most children in tilt-in-space chairs stay in the chair during transportation. The Quickie Transit Option ensures that the tie-down points are safe and crash tested. |
| The Zippie TS features an extremely versatile backpost system. Adjustable height (swing away option), adjustable frame depth, angle adjustable (78° to 120°), fold-down back posts, pre-drilled holes for armrest, and an optional stroller extension handle are just a few of its features. |

- Recommend It:I would recommend this wheelchair
require tech support to adjust frames as child gets taller. Gel in seating is coming out. Need additional head support for feeding and trunk support to maintain posture.
