Quickie Zippie TS
The Zippie TS has a new look! In addition to its traditional performance as our premier rigid paediatric tilt-in-space chair, the Zippie TS now folds.
The new Zippie TS features built-in frame expansion, both rigid and folding frames, and all of the latest in paediatric accessories. With the full array of Quickie wheel and colour options the Zippie TS sets itself apart as the industry leader.
Features
- Flared front frames make caster interference with long 90° footrests a thing of the past. Front caster housings can be easily be mounted in a forward or reverse position to adjust the wheel base without the possibility of hitting the footplates.
- 61cm (24") rear wheels are fully accessible for patients who self-propel. Our engineers took special care to make sure that chair's design does not force a user into a reverse wheel configuration.
- The Zippie TS fixed frame version features the benefits of rigid support along with the advantage of built-in expandability. With fold-down backrests and quick-release wheels, it is still small enough to fit easily in a small trunk or backseat.
- The Zippie TS can serve as either a dependent or an independent mobility base. For children who rely on a caregivers for their mobility, the Zippie TS features 30cm (12") rear wheels and a removable stroller handle extension. For those capable of self propulsion, the TS can be outfitted with 51cm (20"), 56cm (22"), 61cm (24") rear wheels or a one-arm drive.
- The Zippie TS is available with the Sunrise Transit Option. Most children in tilt-in-space chairs stay in the chair during transportation. The Sunrise Transit Option ensures that the tie-down points are safe and crash tested.
- The Zippie TS features an extremely versatile backpost system. Adjustable height (swing away option), adjustable frame depth, angle adjustable (78° to 120°), fold-down back posts, pre-drilled holes for armrest, and an optional stroller extension handle are just a few of its features.
- The Zippie TS is designed to interface with a wide variety of seating systems. Pre-drilled 1" backposts and seat tubes make mounting today's complex seating systems a snap. Special drop-down clamps also provide extra space for drop seats.
Folding Convenience
The new Zippie TS folding version compresses for easy transportation and storage in tight spaces. With quick-release rear wheels and quick-release front casters (optional) the frame itself becomes extremely compact.
Tilt-in-Space
The Zippie TS features a 45° tilting seat frame. This is an ideal system for pediatric patients who require multiple tilt angles for pressure relief, digestion and fixed seat positions.
New Z-Lock Hub Lock
The Zippie TS has been enhanced with the new Z-Lock, a state of the art hub-lock that provides peace of mind by securely locking the wheels when stopped.
Expandable Frame
The Zippie TS features an expandable frame. Frame expansion of up to 18cm (7") in seat depth and 5cm (2") in seat width can be accomplished without replacing a single frame component. This makes the Zippie TS one of the most versatile chairs in today's pediatric market.
