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 by Sunrise Medical is a highly adaptable mobility solution built specifically to meet the changing needs of growing children. Engineered with a durable frame and built-in growth capabilities, this wheelchair ensures long-term utility and exceptional support. It serves as a dependable platform that encourages independent movement and active participation in daily childhood activities, from school environments to outdoor play.
Zippie Growth System Capabilities
The standout feature of this mobility device is its built-in capacity to expand alongside the child. Known for its unique structural framework, the Zippie engineering allows both the frame width and seat depth to be adjusted easily over time. This design saves families from the frequent need to replace equipment as children go through growth spurts, ensuring that the wheelchair maintains a precise and supportive fit for years.
GS Rigid Frame and Propulsion Efficiency
The foundation of the GS model rests on its rigid frame design, which provides superior structural integrity compared to traditional folding alternatives. A rigid architecture means that energy spent by the child while pushing is transferred directly into forward motion rather than being absorbed by a flexing frame. This reduction in rolling resistance makes the wheelchair significantly easier to propel, reducing upper-body fatigue for young users.
Kids Active Lifestyle Integration
Every element of this wheelchair is optimized for an active and playful childhood experience. The low-profile structure allows kids to get closer to desks, tables, and play surfaces, fostering greater social and educational inclusion. Additionally, the lightweight build ensures that parents and caregivers can lift, transport, and store the chair in standard vehicles without undue physical strain.
Adjustable Center of Gravity and Component Positioning
Safety and performance can be finely tuned thanks to the highly adjustable axle plate design. Technicians and therapists can modify the center of gravity to match the child's skill level, balancing the chair for either maximum stability or enhanced agility. The armrests, footrests, and backrest angle can also be individually positioned to provide optimal skeletal alignment and all-day comfort.
Durable Customization and Long-Term Reliability
Constructed from high-strength materials, this wheelchair is built to withstand the rigorous daily use typical of energetic children. The component parts are highly customizable, offering various wheel types, handrim options, and specialized seating interfaces to accommodate diverse physical requirements. This heavy-duty build ensures that the frame remains safe, reliable, and smooth-rolling across a variety of terrains.
