Ottobock Skippi Children's Power Wheelchair

Quote only

Contact us for a scripting appointment or a quote with an assistive technology professional.

The Skippi is a power wheelchair for children and youth. It is set up to the child's seating, positioning and control needs, so it is prescribed after an assessment and priced by quote rather than sold off the shelf.

How it works

  • Book a trial and scripting appointment at our Prestons showroom, or we can come to you at home, at school or in therapy.
  • An assistive technology professional works with you and your child's therapist on the prescription and the right configuration.
  • We provide a written quote to suit your funding: NDIS, iCare or private purchase.

Small and manoeuvrable, the Skippi gives children with even severe disabilities a measure of independence. The lift seat brings children up to eye level with their friends, and the seat and leg positions adjust as the child grows. It comes apart in a few simple steps and fits into the boot of a compact car.
