Compact, Customisable, Transportable

The Skippi Paediatric Power Wheelchair is a compact, highly manoeuvrable electric wheelchair designed to offer children with mobility impairments the freedom to explore their world with greater independence. Skippi provides the versatility and support that growing children need, whether at home, school, or outdoors.

Built with functionality and adaptability, the Skippi features a fully adjustable seat system that can grow with the user. Seat depth, width, leg position and angle can all be individually tailored to ensure long-term comfort and proper posture. Children can be raised to eye level with an optional powered seat lift, helping them connect more easily with their peers and surroundings.

Availability & Delivery: While many of our products are kept in stock, certain items are sourced directly from our suppliers and may have lead times of up to 6 weeks. If you require delivery by a specific date, please get in touch before ordering so we can confirm current availability.

Key Features

  • Compact and Portable: Easily disassembles in a few simple steps and fits neatly into the boot of a compact car—ideal for families on the go.

  • Child-Friendly Design: Designed specifically for children, offering intuitive controls and soft upholstery with integrated storage in the backrest.

  • Customisable Options: Optional accessories such as mid-tray controls and powered seat functions make daily tasks more manageable.

  • Grows With the Child: Adjustable components ensure the chair adapts to your child’s development over time.
