The ZIPPIE X’CAPE pediatric folding wheelchair is the first ever wheelchair with XLOCK™ technology for the performance of a rigid frame and the convenience of a folding frame. Designed for active and growing kids, the ZIPPIE X CAPE weighs as little as 8.6kgs and features a versatile frame available in over 600 colour combinations.
Paediatric Specific Design The Zippie X’CAPE was designed with the goal of helping children with varying mobility needs transition to their next level of independence. One of the lightest pediatric folding wheelchairs at as little as 8.6kgs, the X CAPE allows your child to spend less energy on propulsion and more on playing, exploring, and being a kid! The X CAPE s setup can be fine-tuned to provide the best possible access to the wheels for each child. As they grow, 2" of growth in the crossbrace and 3" in the seat rail keep your child positioned properly for maximum independence.
XLOCK Crossbrace for Performance and Convenience The Zippie X CAPE s patented XLOCK™ folding crossbrace fully locks when unfolded, creating a level of performance, efficiency, and durability comparable to a rigid frame wheelchair. And it couldn t be easier to transport. One-step push-to-lock and pull-to-fold functions are easy to operate with just one hand. The X CAPE s 27 frame colours and 24 crossbrace colours can be chosen separately to create over 600 colour combinations, so your child can sport their team colours, school colours, or personal favorites!
Z-Finity System for Lower Extremity Positioning The Z-finity™ System s footplate can be adjusted between .5" above the seat pan to 21" below the seat pan to provide proper support as your child grows. Its rotating hardware allows for infinite adjustment of the footrest angle and placement to achieve optimal positioning of the feet, ankles, and knees. Z-finity is available with both of the X CAPE s front frame options – Swing-in/Swing-out and Fixed. Choose Swing-in/Swing-out hangers for aid in transfers and pulling up close to cabinets and counters. Choose Fixed hangers for the lightest weight configuration and an active style.
