Wizzybug

Description

We are a national charity based in Bath.  We provide Wizzybug ,which is an innovative powered wheelchair designed specifically for young children, free of charge to children all over the UK.

Wizzybug is designed for physically disabled children. This includes children living with cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy, spina bifida or muscular dystrophy, as well as children with amputations, or other conditions that affect their ability to walk.

Wizzybug is intended for pre-school children of minimum age 14 months, and a maximum weight of 20 kg.

Wizzybug is an electrically powered wheelchair for indoor and outdoor use, with adult supervision.

Children use Wizzybugs at home and at pre-school, and in outdoor spaces such as parks, gardens, and playgrounds.

Wizzybug can be used every day, or just occasionally, but is not intended to be used all day, every day.
