Zippie Iris Wheelchair
Tilt-in-Space Technology Designed Just for Kids
The Zippie IRIS uses tilt-in-space technology to rotate the seat frame around the user’s centre of gravity. This allows for a smoother, more controlled tilt while maintaining the shortest possible wheelbase, maximising stability and manoeuvrability.
With the Foot Release Tilt Actuator , the Zippie IRIS eliminates the need for exposed cables, reducing clutter and the risk of interference during everyday use.
Built to grow with your child, the Zippie IRIS features adjustable centre of gravity, seat depth, and width (with just a few parts), making it easy to adapt as needs change over time. The True Fit Program is included at no extra cost, offering a complete growth package to support long-term use.
To ensure the perfect setup, the Zippie IRIS is compatible with a wide range of Spex Seating solutions—including the Wonderseat —to meet individual postural and functional needs.

Functional benefits
40° or 55° of Intelligent Rotation in Space Technology
With patented Intelligent Rotation in Space technology, the IRIS seat frame rotates around the child's center of gravity. The rotation arm was designed specifically for paediatric users to ensure a smooth tilting motion. It also helps children remain comfortable and secure while tilting, and it is easy for parents and caregivers to control.
Available with 40° or 55° rotation ranges that can be set to achieve up to 45° or 60° of posterior rotation, the IRIS offers superior positioning capabilities.
Optional XLOCK Folding Crossbrace
Now offers the benefits of both rotation-in-space technology and an optional folding frame. Patented XLOCK® folding crossbrace fully locks when unfolded for superior rigidity, and folds into a compact size for convenient transport.
Accessories for Caregiver Convenience
Available with a wide variety of options to help you manage daily activities involving your child's care. The Foot Release Tilt Actuator eliminates exposed cables. Push-button hub locks located on the back canes are compact, easy to access, and easy to operate for any caregiver. Standard with the Height Adjustable Push Handle, the Angle Adjustable Stroller Handle has 260° of angle adjustability to fit varying caregiver heights and to enable pushing from a tilted position.
Growth Capabilities
Designed to maintain proper support for your child as they grow. The folding frame option offers up to 4" of built-in depth growth and 2" of built-in width growth. The rigid frame option is available with width-adjustable strut tubes.
Additionally, through the True Fit Growth program, the original Zippie IRIS owner qualifies for one free growth kit within 5 years. The growth kit includes all parts and components needed to adjust the seat width/depth of the chair. (Not available with the Zippie IRIS SE models.)
