Tricycles
Zip Zac is the smallest "wheelchair" I have seen. This is from their website: The original ZipZac™ was created in 2010 for a 1-1/2 year boy named Zachary who has Spina Bifida. He has movement in his hips, but is unable to move his legs. I felt the need to make something that would help Zachary be able to move around the house and experience everyday things like most other kids do. With the help of a engineering friend, we came up with a design that was unique and gave Zachary a running shot at his world around him. From the moment we put him in the chair, he quickly figured how to move the wheels and began his new adventures.
Our goal is to improve your child’s independence and provide you as a parent, the tools and the equipment to do the same.

Any bike can be further customized and adjusted to the exact specifications and unique requirements of the rider, ensuring that each Freedom Concepts bike is a perfect fit.
We pride ourselves on providing a personal service to clients, and catering for special needs, especially for those who are physically challenged.

Please feel free to post if you sew bibs, g-tube pads, trach ties, wraps etc...Feeding pumps are also okay to post. So if you are selling Equipment or looking to buy Equipment...it may be an easier forum to use rather than sifting through buttons, tubes, dressings and such.
