Hippo

Hippo

Moving about, playing and discovering are all part of the development of a young child. For children with physical limitations there is no difference. Through the Hippo (with its optional electric high / low and tilt adjustments) Handicare has brought a wheelchair to the market which complements a child’s development and abilities in total safety. Their designers have been careful not to overlook the importance of the Hippo’s appearance. During presentations and assessments, words such as “cool” and “wicked” are the order of the day. The powerful motors combined with the smooth electronics of the Hippo ensure perfect performance and safety.

The Hippo is delivered with the Optimum Support System as standard. The OSS, part of the Kid-Fit seating system, offers support where needed and is very comfortable. In addition to the OSS, a complete range of seats and backrests is available. Both seating systems, and the Hippo with them, can grow along with your child. The powerful motors combined with the smooth electronics of the Hippo ensure perfect driving performance. In addition, the Hippo’s front-wheel drive makes it highly manoeuvrable. Its low seat height make the Hippo highly suited to move under a table. he Hippo is available in 4 standard colours: silver-grey, black, blue and orange
