Ziggo Pediatric Wheelchair – 16” Blue

For older children and teens who need a reliable everyday wheelchair — one that handles school hallways, car rides, family outings, and everything in between — the Circle Specialty Ziggo 16" Pediatric Wheelchair in Blue delivers exactly what families need without overcomplicating it. At just 39 lbs with a 16-inch seat width and 250 lb weight capacity, it bridges the gap between small pediatric chairs and full adult wheelchairs, giving bigger kids a chair that actually fits their body and keeps up with their life.

Who This Is For

• Older children and teens who have outgrown smaller 12" or 14" pediatric wheelchair sizes
• Kids and young adults who need a lightweight, foldable chair for daily school use and family transport
• Families who want a practical, durable chair without the added cost and complexity of a full reclining system
• Caregivers managing frequent chair-to-car transfers who need a chair that folds down quickly and compactly
• Therapists prescribing a cost-effective, therapist-approved manual wheelchair for active daily use

Key Features

• 16" Wide Seat for Bigger Kids and Teens: The 16-inch seat width accommodates the larger hip and thigh measurements of older children and teens — proportioned correctly for their body, not a compromise between adult and child sizing. The higher 250 lb weight capacity also makes it suitable for young adults who need a pediatric-style chair without transitioning to a full adult frame.
• Fold-Down Backrest for Compact Transport: The 16" model includes a fold-down backrest — a feature unique to the larger Ziggo sizes — allowing the chair to collapse into a significantly more compact package for loading into car trunks, storage closets, and tight spaces.
• Quick-Release Rear Wheels: The polyurethane rear wheels pop off without tools, making the chair even lighter and easier to lift into a vehicle. Hand rims allow teens with upper body strength to self-propel independently.
• Flip-Back Desk-Length Armrests: Arms swing completely out of the way for side transfers from beds, toilets, and car seats, and the desk-length design lets the chair pull directly up to school desks, dining tables, and workspaces without the armrest getting in the way.
• Height-Adjustable Swing-Away Footrests with Calf Straps: Footrests adjust to the correct height for the user's leg length and swing fully out of the way during transfers. Calf straps keep legs securely positioned during movement and prevent feet from slipping off the footrest.
• Push-to-Lock Brakes: Simple, reliable brakes lock the chair securely when parked — essential for safe transfers without the chair rolling away from the user.
• Breathable Nylon Upholstery with Back Pocket: The soft nylon seat and back panel stays comfortable across seasons and is easy to wipe clean. The built-in back pocket provides convenient storage for a phone, snack, or personal items during the school day.
• Durable Steel Frame in Bold Blue: The steel frame is built for heavy repeated daily use with high-quality welds at every joint. The bright blue color is designed to feel like the child's own chair — not clinical or institutional.
