Drive Viper Jr. Wheelchair with Detachable Desk-Length Arms
This pediatric wheelchair is engineered for easy propulsion, smooth maneuverability, and simple transport—making daily mobility easier for children, caregivers, and clinicians. Its streamlined open-frame design eliminates traditional seat rail guides, allowing compatibility with custom pediatric backs, positioning supports, and adaptive accessories as needs evolve.
An adjustable back height (18”–20”) supports proper posture and long-term comfort, while the carbon steel frame with a double-coated black powder finish delivers durability, chip resistance, and a clean, professional appearance suitable for home, school, or clinical environments.
Flame-retardant nylon upholstery resists mildew and bacteria for hygienic everyday use. Lightweight composite mag-style wheels with aluminum hand rims reduce maintenance and improve propulsion, while polyurethane rear tires and casters ensure a smooth, stable ride indoors and outdoors.
Designed to grow with the child, the wheelchair includes 8” front casters with three height adjustments, a dual-axle system for easy seat-height changes, and swing-away or elevating leg rests with tool-free adjustment. Integrated safety features—including flip-up anti-tippers and push-to-lock wheel locks—provide dependable stability during daily use.
