Ready for Every Ride
The Ziggo Transit Plus is a lightweight manual wheelchair built for everyday mobility and safe transportation. Its integrated tie-down brackets are crash-tested for securing a seated user in buses and accessible vans, designed to meet transit safety requirements and help eliminate the need for separate transfers during travel — the user stays comfortably seated in their own chair from door to door.
Standard features like height-adjustable push handles, elevating legrests, an extended headrest, and anti-tippers add comfort, positioning support, and caregiver convenience to everyday use. The lightweight frame folds compactly for storage and transport, and quick-release rear wheels make it even easier to lift, load, and put away. Optional accessories let you further customize the chair to fit individual needs.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The crash-tested transit brackets are the real differentiator here compared to a standard pediatric wheelchair — most manual wheelchairs aren't rated for a seated occupant to remain in the chair during vehicle transport, meaning a transfer to a separate car seat or vehicle seat is required for every ride. The Ziggo Transit Plus removes that step entirely for bus and accessible van travel. For sizing, note that weight capacity in transit is lower on the smaller two sizes (150 lbs on the TP1200, 175 lbs on the TP1400) than on the TP1600 and TP1800 (300 lbs each) — worth checking against the user's current and expected weight, not just seat width, when choosing a size.
