The ZIPPIE Simba is a lightweight rigid wheelchair from Sunrise Medical's children's range, made so small arms can push further and keep up in the playground, at school and on days out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's built with growing in mind. The seat can be widened and lengthened as your child grows, and the push bar adjusts in height and angle so parents and carers can help comfortably when needed. It's crash tested, too, for use as a seat in a suitably adapted vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✅ Key Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight rigid frame from 8 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLess weight for your child to push, and easier for you to lift into the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrows with your child\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeat width adjusts by ±20 mm and depth by ±40 mm, with more growth possible using new parts — so the chair lasts longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable push bar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight and angle adjust for the adult pushing, and a stabiliser strengthens the backrest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafari side-guard brake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA quick, safe brake your child can reach without leaning forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTough, lighter components\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew castor link tube and Carbotecture forks keep weight down and stand up to everyday knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully adjustable axle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeat height, balance and camber can be set for stability first, then made more active as skills grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrash tested\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeets ISO 7176-19 for use as a seat in a suitably adapted vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColours available\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA choice of 22 frame colours — let your child pick their favourite.

Being rigid, it doesn't fold side to side — the wheels come off and the back folds down. We'll measure your child, ideally with their therapist, and the chair takes a few weeks to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions customers ask us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will it last as my child grows?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe seat width and depth have built-in growth, and more growth is possible with new parts, so it can adapt over several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I try one before I buy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
