Comfortable, Supportive Mobility for Children

The Zippie RS from Recare is a specialised tilt-in-space paediatric wheelchair designed to provide your child with exceptional comfort, postural support, and room to grow. Whether at home, school or on the go, this child’s wheelchair is built for everyday life, offering advanced clinical benefits to support health and well-being.

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.

Zippie RS Wheelchair Lifestyle (2)

Complex postural or neurological needs

With its smooth rotation-in-space technology, the Zippie RS gently tilts the seat backwards. This helps to relieve pressure, assist breathing, and improve head and trunk positioning. As a result, it is an excellent choice for children with complex postural or neurological needs. These children require more than a standard wheelchair.

Smooth and controlled tilting up to 45°

Designed with growing children in mind, the Zippie RS is easily adjustable to keep up with physical changes. Therefore, it ensures long-lasting use. It also works seamlessly with a wide range of supportive seating options, including moulded systems and specialised accessories. This makes it easy to create a personalised setup that works best for your child.

For caregivers, the Zippie RS is lightweight, easy to push, and simple to adjust. It includes thoughtful features that make everyday routines – from school drop-offs to medical appointments – smoother and more manageable.

Manual Wheelchair Maintenance

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.

Daily Checks

  • Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.
  • Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.
  • Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.
  • Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.
  • Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.

Weekly Checks

  • Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.
  • Check the tension of the seat upholstery.
    • It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.

Tyre Pressure Adjustment

  • Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools.
  • Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.

Monthly Checks

  • Inspect the wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.
  • Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.
