Get in the Zone with a lightweight wheelchair designed for active kids!
The Zippie Zone is an innovative, ultra-lightweight, and option-rich pediatric rigid frame wheelchair that is perfect for active kids and teens. Designed for the unique needs of kids, the Zone offers numerous growth options and provides the greatest wheel access for independent mobility.
The Zippie Zone by Sunrise Medical is an innovative pediatric rigid chair with lots of features and options. It is the lightest weight pediatric chair on the market, weighing as little as 14 lbs and the frame features Shapeloc Technology that is lighter than titanium, more rigid and less expensive. The chair also has a wheel lock in the side guard that is easy to reach and one lever locks both wheels and with a flip-up angle-adjustable footrest, the chair is easy to get in and out of.
The Zippie ZONE is geared towards those needing a functional but fun chair. It is available in a variety of frame colors and anodized color packages to customize your look. The chair has 3" of built-in depth adjustability, as well as an additional 2" of seat sling apholstry folded in the front so it can grow with your child. When the frame width needs to be adjusted, it is as simple as replacing four tubes, the seat, back, camber and footrest. Additional adjustments on the Zippie ZONE include independent center of gravity adjustments in 1/4" increments (up to +2.25") and a backrest and axle system that adjust together to maintain the center of gravity to backrest position.

Growth Capabilities One thing we're certain of is that kids will grow! That's why the Zone kids wheelchair features 3" of depth growth built right into the frame. An extra 2" of depth growth is built into the sling upholstery. To expand the frame width, simply replace a few parts instead of the whole wheelchair frame. |

Design Fit for Kids With independence comes confidence. Every inch of the Zone was designed to give kids the best possible wheel access for efficient propulsion. With features such as the inset backrest, flip-up, angle-adjustable footrest, and hub lock located on the seat rail, kids are able to independently access the wheels, transfer in and out of the wheelchair, and access the wheel locks without interference during propulsion. |

Ultra Lightweight Aerospace Aluminum When it comes to pediatric mobility, every pound holds more weight. That's why we used 7000 series aerospace aluminum to make the Zone's feather-light frame. Combining this material, our ShapeLoc Technology heat-treating process, and ovalized tubing increases strength, allows for thinner tube walls, and decreases overall weight to create a lighter wheelchair, just as strong, and more budget-friendly than titanium. |
|
Colorful Options We want the Zone wheelchair to be an expression of your child's unique personality. Aside from its super stylish frame, the Zone also has bright options including Celestial Sapphire, Pink Power, and Zebra frame colors; colored caster forks and axle plates; Spinergy wheels; and colorful spoke guards. Explore fun color combinations with your child and design a chair that feels just right. |

Ride Designs A Ride Designs custom seating system works well on a ZIPPIE Zone to provide intimate support where needed, matching a child's unique body curves. A Ride Custom Cushion paired with a Ride Custom Back also helps boost postural control and stabilize the pelvis and trunk, often resulting in increased performance and freedom of movement, while enhancing pressure distribution away from bony prominences. Ride Custom Cushions and the Ride Custom Back are made in virtually any size or shape and can be modified for linear growth and weight change at a fraction of the cost of new seating. |

The Zippie Zone Children's Rigid Wheelchair by Sunrise Medical is a high-performance mobility solution engineered specifically for active pediatric users. Designed to maximize independence and efficiency, this frame offers a solid, non-folding platform that translates the child's energy directly into forward motion. By focusing on lightweight materials and precise fitting options, the wheelchair provides young users with the stability and agility needed to navigate school, home, and community environments with ease.
Zippie Optimized Pelvic Alignment and Mobility
At the center of this pediatric design is a strong emphasis on biomechanical efficiency and correct posture. The frame geometry is tailored to support a growing body, ensuring that the user sits in a position that promotes optimal wheel access and upper-body freedom. By stabilizing the pelvis and lower extremities, the Zippie architecture minimizes fatigue and enables children to propel themselves more effectively, fostering greater self-reliance in daily activities.
Rigid Frame Performance and Efficiency
Unlike folding alternatives, this rigid structure utilizes fewer moving parts, which greatly reduces overall weight and increases durability. The seamless construction of the frame ensures that every push on the handrims is converted directly into movement, rather than being absorbed by a folding mechanism. This design choice makes the wheelchair incredibly responsive and easier for smaller muscles to maneuver over thresholds, carpets, and outdoor surfaces.
Growth Adjustability for Long-Term Pediatric Use
Recognizing that young users grow quickly, the engineers built extensive growth capabilities directly into the chassis. The seat depth, backrest height, and center of gravity can all be modified as the child develops over time, extending the lifespan of the equipment. This adaptable setup allows families and clinicians to fine-tune the seating configuration to ensure continuous comfort and proper physical support throughout the child's developmental milestones.
Ultralight Hydroformed Aluminum Construction
The chair features a high-grade hydroformed aluminum frame that delivers exceptional strength without adding unnecessary bulk. This ultralight composition makes it much easier for parents and caregivers to lift the chair into vehicles or transport it up stairs. The minimalist design also ensures a clean profile that keeps the visual focus on the child rather than a massive piece of medical machinery.
Customizable Components for an Active Lifestyle
To match the diverse needs of an active kid, the system supports a wide array of options, including various wheel styles, caster options, and vibrant frame colors. Flip-back armrests and angled footrests can be configured to simplify transfers in and out of the seat. These practical choices allow the wheelchair to be fine-tuned for specific environments, whether the user is navigating tight school hallways or playing on a playground.
