Zippie GS Kids Folding Wheelchair by Sunrise Medical 
Growth and versatility wheelchair that keeps up with busy kids!
The Zippie GS™ offers frame and component growth, standard and reverse wheel configurations, and folding and rigid frame wheelchair options to keep up with children's ever-changing lives!
The Zippie GS is designed to grow with kids, eliminating the need for expensive replacement wheelchairs every time your child shoots up a few inches. The chair's ability to adapt is rooted in its unique Built-in Growth System. The dual seat rails allow the seating system and accessories to be securely mounted without interference within the same small space. The chair's durable hub is now stronger than it's ever been, enabling the wheels to lock securely into place and eliminating dependence on the rear wheel's tire pressure for a safe, locked position. Minimal adjustments are needed, and cables are conveniently kept out of the way, making engagement of the hub lock a breeze. The locking mechanism provides multiple mounting positions for quick and easy access.
Zippie GS Kids Rigid Wheelchair Features

Growth Capabilities The GS was designed to accommodate the changes your child may experience throughout the life of the wheelchair. Both the rigid and folding frames and the versatile growing seat pan allow for up to 2" of width growth and up to 4" of depth growth! Adjustable components, including armrests and legrests, maintain proper positioning during development. |
|
Folding and Rigid Frame Options No two families are identical. To accommodate differing priorities and lifestyles, the GS kids wheelchair is available with a folding frame or a rigid frame. The folding frame is a good choice for families needing to store the wheelchair in a vehicle or in tight spaces at home. With fewer moving parts, the rigid frame option requires the least amount of propulsion effort and offers the lowest overall weight. |
|
 |
Standard and Reverse Wheel Placements Self-propulsion allows children to explore and interact with their environment. The GS provides the best access to the wheels during different stages of development. If your child has a shorter arm reach or would benefit from being able to see the wheels, placing the push wheel at the front of the frame (reverse) can encourage use and self-propulsion. As they grow, the wheels may then be moved to the rear of the frame (standard) for the best wheel access. |
|
Dual Seat Rails When it comes to pediatric wheelchairs, there is not much real estate for attaching options and accessories! The GS's dual seat rails allow the seat to be mounted separately from the armrests, wheel locks, and other options to avoid parts interference. |

The Zippie GS Kids Rigid Wheelchair is a high-performance mobility solution specifically engineered to meet the evolving needs of active children. This wheelchair is built with a focus on durability and customization, providing a stable frame that supports a child's independence. By balancing a lightweight design with structural integrity, the Zippie GS ensures that young users can navigate their daily environments with confidence and ease.
Built-In Growth Capabilities for Long-Term Use
One of the standout features of this model is its integrated growth technology. Recognizing that children develop quickly, the frame is designed to expand in both width and depth. This adaptability means that the wheelchair can be resized over time, ensuring a proper fit throughout various developmental stages. This focus on growth allows families to maximize the lifespan of the equipment while maintaining consistent postural support for the child.
Pediatric Specific Ergonomics and Comfort
The design of the chair is centered entirely on pediatric anatomy and the unique requirements of smaller users. From the smaller wheel options to the specialized seat-to-floor heights, every aspect is scaled to provide an optimal mechanical advantage for a child’s reach and strength. These ergonomic considerations help minimize fatigue and encourage the child to self-propel, fostering a greater sense of autonomy in their mobility.
Rigid Frame Stability and Performance
Unlike folding models, the rigid frame construction of this wheelchair offers superior energy efficiency. A rigid setup ensures that more of the energy from each push is translated into forward motion rather than being lost in the flex of a folding mechanism. This makes the chair highly responsive and easier to handle on various surfaces, providing a smooth ride for the user while maintaining a lightweight profile for transport.
Customizable Wheelchair Configurations
The versatility of the Zippie GS is further enhanced by the wide range of available options and accessories. Caregivers can choose from different backrest styles, armrests, and footplates to create a seating environment tailored to the child's specific medical and physical needs. Whether the user requires basic positioning or complex support, the chair acts as a modular foundation that can be outfitted with specialized seating components.
Durable Construction for Active Lifestyles
Designed to withstand the rigors of childhood, the Zippie GS is constructed from high-quality materials that handle daily wear and tear with ease. The frame is robust enough for school settings, playgrounds, and outdoor excursions. Despite this toughness, the chair remains aesthetically pleasing with various color options, allowing the child to personalize their mobility device to reflect their own personality and style.
