Zippie IRIS Tilt In Space Wheelchair, by Sunrise Medical

 Zippie IRIS Kids Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair by Sunrise Medical 

Cutting-edge rotation-in-space wheelchair technology designed just for kids!

 The Zippie IRIS rotation-in-space wheelchair offers a superior combination of positioning, maneuverability, and increased portability with the XLOCK® folding crossbrace option.

 

The Zippie IRIS The Quickie® IRIS™ SE (Intelligent Rotation In Space) features a rotational design that is based on the idea of rotating the seat frame around the user's center-of-gravity. Unlike systems that incorporate a fixed pivot-point, dual pivot-point, or linear element, the Quickie® IRIS™'s rotational system has a smooth and controlled rotation. 

It provides up to 60° of posterior rotation and hi-resolution adjustment, for the ultimate in control, maneuverability and stability. The ability to tilt up to 60º also insures that the majority of pressure is removed from the ischial tuberosities.

Zippie IRIS SE Pediatric Tilt Wheelchair Features 

	40° or 55° of Intelligent Rotation in Space Technology With patented Intelligent Rotation in Space technology, the IRIS seat frame rotates around the child's center of gravity. The rotation arm was designed specifically for pediatric users to ensure a smooth tilting motion. It also helps children remain comfortable and secure while tilting, and it is easy for parents and caregivers to control. Available with 40° or 55° rotation ranges that can be set to achieve up to 45° or 60° of posterior rotation, the IRIS offers superior positioning capabilities.
Optional XLOCK Folding Crossbrace The Zippie IRIS now offers the benefits of both rotation-in-space technology and an optional folding frame. Its patented XLOCK folding crossbrace fully locks when unfolded for superior rigidity, and folds into a compact size for convenient transport.
	Accessories for Caregiver Convenience The IRIS is available with a wide variety of options to help you manage daily activities involving your child's care. The Foot Release Tilt Actuator eliminates exposed cables. Push-button hub locks located on the back canes are compact, easy to access, and easy to operate for any caregiver. Standard with the Height Adjustable backrest, the Angle Adjustable Stroller Handle has 260° of angle adjustability to fit varying caregiver heights and to enable pushing from a tilted position.
Growth Capabilities The IRIS is designed to maintain proper support for your child as they grow. The folding frame option offers up to 4" of built-in depth growth and 2" of built-in width growth. The rigid frame option is available with width-adjustable strut tubes. Additionally, through the True Fit Growth program, the original Zippie IRIS owner qualifies for one free growth kit within 5 years. The growth kit includes all parts and components needed to adjust the seat width/depth of the chair. (Not available with the Zippie IRIS SE models.)

Zippie Iris Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair by Sunrise Medical Buyer’s Guide

The Zippie Iris Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair by Sunrise Medical is a highly specialized mobility solution designed to address the intricate positioning and pressure management needs of younger users. Engineered with a unique rotation-in-space mechanism, this wheelchair allows for smooth orientation changes without disrupting the user's focal point or seating alignment. By offering superior adjustability and structural stability, the system assists caregivers and clinicians in maintaining optimal comfort and physiological support for the child throughout the day.

Zippie Intelligent Rotation in Space Technology

The defining feature of this pediatric chair is its patented rotation mechanism, which rotates the seat frame around the child's center of gravity. This innovative engineering ensures that the shift in weight remains balanced and predictable throughout the entire tilt range. For the caregiver, this translates to an incredibly light and effortless tilting motion, regardless of the child's weight. For the user, it provides a secure, smooth recline experience that eliminates the anxiety of sudden shifts in movement.

Tilt-in-Space Pressure Relief and Positioning

Integrating a tilt-in-space mechanical system is essential for children who cannot independently shift their weight to relieve pressure. By altering the seating angle relative to gravity, the wheelchair redistributes forces away from the ischial tuberosities and across a larger surface area of the back and thighs. This capability is vital for preserving skin integrity, improving circulation, and assisting with respiratory and digestive function. The configuration allows for precise therapeutic positioning without compromising spinal alignment.

Pediatric Growth Accommodation and Durability

Children grow rapidly, and this wheelchair is structurally engineered to adapt alongside them. The frame features built-in growth capabilities, allowing for adjustments to seat width, depth, and component positioning over time. This adjustable nature extends the operational lifespan of the equipment, providing a cost-effective solution for families. Constructed from high-strength, lightweight materials, the chassis is resilient enough to withstand the demands of daily transportation and active childhood environments.

Iris Compact Profile and Manueverability

The structural layout of the Iris design results in a significantly shorter wheelbase compared to traditional tilting chairs. This compact footprint makes the wheelchair exceptionally maneuverable in tight spaces, such as classrooms, hallways, and family vehicles. The shortened frame does not compromise stability, ensuring safe operation while enhancing the child's ability to navigate standard indoor environments. It bridges the gap between complex clinical support and practical everyday usability.

Customizable Support and Specialized Component Integration

To meet diverse physical challenges, the wheelchair base is compatible with a wide array of specialized seating systems, trays, and medical equipment mounts. From advanced lateral supports and headrests to custom pelvic belts, the frame acts as a modular foundation. This flexibility allows assistive technology professionals to tailor the interface to the precise anatomical needs of the child, encouraging better upper-body control and maximizing functional independence.
